Testimonial for Amber Stewart
When I found out I was pregnant with my final baby, I was certain of two things: I wanted to have a homebirth and I wanted to have a doula to support me. I started looking into different doulas that served the Treasure Valley area and Amber, with Mother in Bloom, immediately stuck out to me. She was so approachable and knowledgeable and I felt very drawn to her style (from what I could tell from her online presence). After meeting her for our initial consultation, I was absolutely sure that she was the doula for us! We booked with her that same day. Amber was very accessible, informative, professional while remaining down-to-earth and supportive during our prenatal visits. She asked about preferences that we had overlooked for our birth plan, acted out different positions to demonstrate comfort measures for labor and made us feel so prepared to navigate our first homebirth.
When I started going into early labor, Amber made time to come and drop off some supplies and show us how to utilize them. She stayed in close contact with us and came right away when we asked her to. Amber's presence during my super speedy and intense birth was constant yet unobtrusive. She knew what I needed and what support would work best for me based on my body language and I can't imagine her not having been there. She made my already incredible birth experience extra magical. All of the little things she did after the birth (i.e make tea, made sure I was fed and had water, took photos and videos, etc.) made me feel extra cared for and allowed my husband to focus his attention on me and our baby.
Amber has exceeded my expectation for care in the prenatal, birth and postpartum periods of our time with her. My only regret is that I didn't discover Amber's services with my previous child and that we will only get to have her attend one of our births! I will forever cherish the time we have gotten to spend together and can not recommend her services enough ??
