Testimonial for Amy Kucharski, CD(DONA), HCHD
I am so glad to have found Amy and that she was my doula for my 3rd child. I wanted a doula this time because I wanted to give birth on my terms and with my own support system and not be told what to do by the hospital staff based on their timeline.
Amy was the absolute best. She had the best advice during my pregnancy, she came over to my house several times to get to know more about me and my wants and needs. She provided education and tools and lots of suggestions on things to try.
And then when it came time to bring my baby into the world Amy was at the hospital with me and my husband as soon as I got there. She helped me in every stage of labor, she set up the room the way I wanted it with low lights and a diffuser. She helped me make decisions on my medical treatment, not provided advice whatsoever, but she reminded me that I have choices and that I can ask for a few minutes to make those choices, which was very empowering.
I even hired her after the baby was here to help us get some sleep. She came a few nights a week and took care of the baby in the middle of the night. That was such a life saver.
I cannot say enough good things about Amy. I wish she was around for my first 2 kids. She is so compassionate and I just felt completely at ease with her. I would highly highly recommend her to anyone and everyone.
