Amanda was absolutely amazing and exactly the support we needed during our birth experience. We made the decision to hire a doula only about three days before we were scheduled to be induced, so we didn't actually meet her until the night we arrived at the hospital. This was our first baby and we were pretty nervous, but Amanda was so warm and friendly that she immediately put my wife at ease. It honestly felt like we'd known her for years. She was incredibly attentive throughout the entire labor and made sure we had everything we needed every step of the way. Her support didn't stop after delivery either. She checked in on us regularly postpartum, came to our house, and connected us with specialists she trusted, including a lactation consultant who turned out to be wonderful as well. If you're considering a doula for your birth, I can't recommend Amanda enough. Once you meet her, you'll have zero doubt she's the right person to have in your corner.

We are so grateful to have had Amanda as our birth doula. From our very first meeting, we felt an immediate connection—she is incredibly kind, grounded, and easy to talk to. Her presence throughout our pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey brought us both comfort and confidence.
Amanda’s approach beautifully integrated the spiritual side of birth, which deeply aligned with our own values. She was a calm, knowledgeable guide every step of the way—always approachable and full of wisdom. During labor, she helped me stay focused with her gentle reminders to breathe and shift my mindset. Her words of encouragement during contractions—reminding me that I was making progress and doing well—kept me going when I needed it most.
One of the best things Amanda did for us was helping my husband feel confident in how he could support me. She gave him the tools and encouragement to really be there for me in ways that mattered, which made the whole experience feel like a true team effort. And when our baby surprised us by arriving three weeks early, Amanda showed up right away and was totally present, which brought us so much comfort and peace of mind.
Our prenatal visits helped us build a strong connection with her, and I can honestly say Amanda is someone who makes you feel safe and seen no matter the situation. She calmed my fears about a natural birth and longer labor, and I truly believe my birth experience was as positive and empowering as it was because of her.
If you're looking for a doula who is compassionate, deeply in tune, and wholly supportive, Amanda is the one. We cannot recommend her enough.

We are beyond grateful for Amanda and the incredible care she provided during the birth of our second child. Our 2-year-old son has never been left with a babysitter or even extended family because of his extreme separation anxiety and sensitive nature. Yet, from the moment Amanda arrived, her warmth and kindness radiated and created an instant sense of trust. Our son bonded with her in a way that felt like they had known each other forever.
Amanda’s awareness of the Montessori approach and her gentle communication style were such a blessing. She cared for our son as if he were her own, guiding him with patience and love. Because of her presence, we were able to experience a truly peaceful and focused birth — something we had prayed for.
Amanda will always be like family to us, having shared in this sacred moment of welcoming our little one. We know our birth story would not have been the same without her. If you are looking for someone who embodies gentleness, professionalism, and genuine love for children, Amanda is the doula you want by your side.

If you’re reading this review, it means you’ve stumbled upon Amanda Bowen during your doula search, and how blessed you are to have found her. I feel so lucky to be able to say my birth experience was perfect and a time I feel so proud of. Though ultimately I thank God for orchestrating such a euphoric experience, the next thank you I have to give is to Amanda. During my pregnancy and through postpartum, Amanda helped me learn and prepare and ultimately conquer the birth of my baby girl. She is truly a resource of so much knowledge and is always eager and excited to share it. Amanda has a servants heart and the most comforting presence. The perfect combo to guide you through pregnancy, childbirth, and the weeks that follow. I know there was no doubt I was going to have a great birth story no matter how things went, but I don’t think it would have been as truly amazing as it was if it weren’t for Amanda’s guidance and calm, encouraging presence in the delivery room. My husband felt his confidence grow during our prenatal meetings and even more so during birth as she gracefully instructed and encouraged him to be the best birth partner he could be.
If you are looking for the best doula for your birth, I promise you, Amanda is the right choice!

Amanda has been an invaluable asset to my birthing and postpartum team. We have used Amanda for birthing preparation and as a consultant for my postpartum care. We used her expertise for birthing positions, pain management strategies, birth education preparation, early postpartum care, newborn sleep, and breastfeeding support. She is warm and gracious with her time and knowledge, regardless of the time (day or night!). With Amanda’s guidance and support we have navigated the tricky first days of infant care and have begun to flourish. Thank you so much for all of your kindness and wisdom! We will be booking her again for our next birth.
