My experince with Amy was more than I had even hoped for. I chose to hire a doule to have an extra layer of support in addition to my husband and my midwives, mainly because I wanted professional help with physical discomfort during labor as this was my second birth and I found that I was missing that in my first. I ended up having a scheduled c-section due to a breech baby who wouldn't budge despite constant spinning babies, chiropractor, and an unsuccessful ECV! Amy (and her partner Meagan) were so supportive in offering resources, sharing experiences, and helping me create a plan for my unexpected (and quite frankly very scary - I was hoping for an unmedicated vaginal!) birth. Amy was there on the day with questions to ask that I never would have thought of, and a very comforting presence that I am so glad I had in addition to my wonderful husband and incredible midwife. Plus she took some amazing photos that we will treasure forever! I also very much appreciated the postpartum visit (she brought cookies!) - especially as a very busy work from home mama who rarely takes the time to slow down and reflect. I highly recommed Amy and her partner Meagan and will definitely be reaching out to them again if there is a 3rd in the cards!
