Testimonial for Amanda Smith CD (Dona)

We were so grateful to have Amanda with us to prepare us for our delivery day and for our postpartum journey when welcoming our first child into the world. Prior to delivery, Amanda did a virtual consultation with us where she helped us create our birthing plan, answer questions and prepare our hearts & minds for delivery. After the arrival of our son Amanda came within the first 24 hours of being home to assist me with my breastfeeding journey as our little guy was having trouble latching she was tremendously helpful with this as well as supporting my mental health through trying to learn to breastfeed. Amanda was available to us 24/7 via text for any questions and would respond in a timely manner with very helpful and encouraging input! Amanda also came twice within the first two weeks postpartum & stayed with us through the night so my husband and I could get a good night’s sleep, she cared for our newborn son and would come gently wake me when he was ready for his feedings. My husband and I struggled the 1st couple weeks of parenthood and adjusting to our new normal and her support, encouragement, and willingness to come overnight helped us survive those very difficult yet joyous first few weeks as parents. When we were ready to be released from her care she would still check in with us every now and then. Amanda was not only knowledgeable about pre and postpartum information & breastfeeding, caring, soft, and nurturing to our son but also to me, my postpartum mental health, our marriage, and our home. She cares for the entire well-being of your family and will go above and beyond to support you and your family in your journey pre and postpartum. I couldn’t recommend Amanda more. I struggle to even put into words the impact she made on our journey of becoming parents. I hope you allow her to make that same impact on your journey & trust me when I say you won’t regret it.
