Testimonial for Amanda Hoyle, CD(DONA), CLC, CBE
I highly recommend Amanda to anyone considering a birth doula, especially a military family delivering at Augusta (Fort Belvoir) or Walter Reed! Amanda supported me for the planned C-section of my second child. From our first meeting, she brought no agenda beyond answering my questions and supporting my preferences and goals--no judgment or pressure to pursue her preferences. She checked in regularly during my pregnancy and responded quickly to all questions. At the hospital, many of the providers and staff knew her and clearly respected her. Her knowledge and experience gave her the confidence that make a doula such a valuable companion during this process. She is also very personable and easy to talk to, on a substantive, not just a superficial level. After my daughter was born, she was able to stay two nights in the hospital with me. That extra help from her is such a gift. Amanda was absolutely central to my very positive experience throughout the birth of my second child. You want her on your team!
