WORK WITH ME

“We hired Amanda as I wanted to build a positive and supportive team around me for my birth. She was so knowledgeable and generous with her time in the lead up to the birth, helping me put together a birth plan I was confident in and building mine and my partner’s confidence for the birth. During my labour at home, she helped keep me positive, manage my contractions through positions and breathing techniques to ensure I could stay at home as long as possible. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and worked with me on lots of different techniques to ensure I was comfortable as can be. During the birth, she was there every step of the way - keeping my energy up. Not only did she ensure I felt supported through the physical and emotional process of labour but also all the decisions that often need to be made on the day that can feel overwhelming. I know that I would not have had such a positive birth experience without her.”

“As a solo first-time mum, I was keen to have Amanda as my Doula. Her strength, positive nurturing energy and knowledge was invaluable to me during my pregnancy, in labour and postpartum. She provided me with the necessary skills and information to navigate the very difficult world of hospital prenatal care and birth. With her support I was able make informed decisions without distress or regret. Amanda provided me with the highest possible care and I was able to put my full trust in her and therefore myself to get the best birthing outcome for my baby and me. Amanda’s compassion, kindness, knowledge and professionalism is truly amazing. I cannot recommend her highly enough. ”

“We couldn’t have wished for anything more with Amanda as our doula. She was amazing and knew exactly what I needed during labour. She was so compassionate, encouraging and attentive, and was a great support to me and my husband. I will definitely be wanting her by my side again if we have another! The sessions we had before and after the birth were also great and we learnt so much. Amanda is extremely knowledgeable about all things prenatal, birth and post natal, and her tips, advice and recommendations were invaluable. She also genuinely cares for yours and your baby’s wellbeing. We couldn’t speak anymore highly of her! Thank you Amanda.”

“Thank you so much, Amanda!!! Just gave birth to a beautiful 4.76kg boy naturally, on a physiological birth, thanks to your help. I really don’t think I would have done it without your help. Not only for the OMP during this intense and long labour, but for your kind and encouraging words, for helping my husband to be part of this process and feel like he’s also given birth to our baby, for making me believe that I could do it throughout the whole experience, for spending almost 24 restless hours with us showing strength, serenity and love. On top of it all, Amanda also took photos and videos of everything, and I’ll now be able to cherish them forever and revisit what I’ve been through. I couldn’t have chosen anyone better to be part of this process with me!”

“I am so glad my sister found Amanda for me, from the beginning you can tell that she is not just providing a service, she genuinely cares for her clients. Amanda’s wealth of knowledge and expertise filled me with confidence and fully prepared me for the birth of our perfect healthy baby girl. From the start she guided and supported us through important decisions that helped us get educated and empowered and close to our goal of having a natural birth. When the day came, I was exhausted and irritated at the hospital but as soon as Amanda arrived, we (my sister and husband) knew things were under control. Her presence and help throughout my labour was utterly priceless. The preparation and information we received prior gave me the power of a calm and confident birth. I cannot thank her enough. I was able to completely let go during labour thanks to Amanda’s advice as I could trust in my body knowing what was happening was normal and nothing to be fearful of. I had my dream birth, it went exactly as I wanted it to go. Spontaneous and no epidural, I could not ask for anything more amazing than that. I got everything I wanted out of it. I felt connected to my baby, felt like I had done something that is near impossible. Such a caring Doula Amanda is, she is so completely dedicated to this path and has a heart of gold. If you are looking for doula, I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is an angel from the heaven, have her as your doula and you will understand why. Thank you Amanda!”

“I engaged Amanda fairly late in my pregnancy as I wasn’t sure about what having a doula would mean including how it would be having essentially a stranger at the birth of my child and how my family would feel. Amanda’s diplomatic, proactive, matter of fact and confident manner and her generous warmth assured me that I was in good hands and that she would be a capable advocate for my birthing wishes.
As a first time Mum going through a protracted pregnancy and labour, I found Amanda to be a strong and invaluable source of moral and practical support. Her partnership was also helpful to my own partner. Amanda allowed my family to be present and support me in their specific ways. I remain grateful to Amanda and the birth experience I had.”
