“Thank you Amanda for your amazing care and support throughout our second pregnancy and birth and postpartum journey!
Amanda’s patience, kindness, knowledge and compassion truly made a difference when giving birth to our second daughter. Since it was our second child, we wanted a bit of a refresher during pregnancy but really wanted to engage Amanda during labor, birth and postpartum. Amanda was there early in the morning when pre-labor started and stayed by my side during a very long labor. I always felt like I was safe and taken care of and could labor without worry. She helped us with optimal positioning during labor to help the baby get into position, and communicated with my midwife about contractions.
I truly feel that I was able to have the water birth of my dreams because of Amanda’s care. Her postpartum help once we were home was vital in helping us navigate parenting 2 children. She helped massively by cooking yummy meals, helping settle the baby and folding the never ending pile of laundry! Thank you so much Amanda you will always hold a special place in our hearts 🩷”
“Initially sceptical as ‘Doula’ was a new concept to us entirely, we became comfortable and accepted Amanda as our needs were supported rather than simply being told what to do. Amanda was very professional and a great support pre, during and post the birth. She added to our knowledge, was well considered, understanding, available and kept our interests in mind. Having Amanda around helped us successfully navigate this birth and now we have a wonderful healthy baby.”
“I love my monthly Ka Huna massage with Amanda, it’s like no other massage I’ve had before and relaxes my whole body at one time. As a Beauty Therapist it’s nice to be the one that’s pampered. Amanda supported my fundraising efforts for Liptember, creating awareness around mental health. My regular Ka Huna’s definitely help keep me sane. I feel connected, safe and supported and I can’t wait for her to one day be my Doula.”
