Testimonial for Amanda Echols
Amanda was so wonderful. We had great conversations and she really listened to me and my partner. Amanda made sure to respond to my emails and questions with resources to make sure I was fully in the know. Not only was Amanda great at getting us the information, she was fun and warm. She made sure we felt at ease with our decisions and made sure we felt good about everything.
She did her job so well that when I went into labor, which was a surprise (baby was born 6 hours into 37 weeks!) with my water breaking with no other signs, I called her and she talked me through the steps. I felt so prepared that it wasn't until I was like 9cm that I remembered to call her and get her to the hospital! Amanda arrived in time to help me through the hard part. She jumped right in, was respectful to the nurses but also made sure they knew who she was and why she was there. Amanda took care of me and my partner during my quick labor and even remembered to get the camera out to take photos of the delivery! When I was scared or worried she would swoop in or instruct my partner to help me so that I would get back on track.
After the birth, Amanda came to visit and make sure we were doing ok at home. Her placenta encapsulations were wonderful and really helped. I even asked Amanda to come with me to my 6 week postpartum appointment because I was worried about going by myself with baby. She sat in the waiting room with my babe so I could focus on myself. I also felt like (and still feel like almost a year later) that I can text her with questions.
Thank you Amanda for everything!
