Where do I even begin...
Hiring Amber was the BEST decision I made my whole pregnancy. I met with quite a few doulas, but as soon as I met Amber I intuitively knew she was the right match for me and my birth. As a highly sensitive person, I needed someone who understood my needs, my energetic boundaries and Amber was receptive to all of it. She has such a grounding presence and she sat listening to my concerns about my childhood trauma, all the healing work I've done and how it might effect labor.
Then, when the time came and my birth began, I was truly SO GRATEFUL to have her to support me. My labor was long and hard, 8 hours of pushing my baby out, and she sat there with me a pillar of strength the whole time looking me in the eyes just saying "You can do this." I'm going to be honest, by the end of my pregnancy I was really leaning into freebirthing. I loved the idea of being alone with my partner to birth my baby. But no, I can easily say I NEEDED Amber there during labor to be with me, support me, support my partner. I couldn't have done it with our her.
Love you Amber, thanks for supporting me during the most important time in my life. Michael, I and Evelyn are all so grateful. ????
