Testimonial for Amanda Githaiga, CPD (HBI)

Hiring Amanda as our doula was the best money we spent throughout my pregnancy and birth. I was prepared for a dreamy birth at a birth center, and wanted her there to support me during that, and of course if anything didn't go to plan. And NOT go to plan, it did!! I ended up transferring to the hospital during labor and I was pretty devastated that my birth plan seemed to fly out the window... and then Amanda arrived. She took charge of my environment and made everything as relaxing as possible. With her support, I was able to have my unmedicated birth, just like I wanted. She provided hands on support throughout my entire labor and delivery, anticipating my every need and knowing exactly what to do to comfort me. My husband didn't know the power of a doula before labor, but he definitely understood how amazing it was to have Amanda there for us after- absolutely raving about her support. The hospital tried to push a few things and she reminded us to pause, so we could get our footing and not be pressured into doing something we would regret out of pressure from staff. I would not hesitate to book her and I will gladly move mountains to ensure she can be at my next birth. My birth experience wasn't what I thought it would be and it definitely was more dramatic than I was hoping, but without Amanda, I have no doubt it would have been traumatic and jolting. And her support postpartum has been amazing as well. Her presence is comforting and powerful. Thank you, Amanda, for being such a valuable member of our care team- I am eternally grateful for you and your gifts and expertise as a doula!!! HIRE HER!!!
