About me

Hi! My name is Amanda and I am ready to support you on this amazing journey! I completed the DONA birth doula training and am currently booking clients at a reduced rate while I complete my certification. Whether you're planning a home birth, a hospital birth, or anything in between, my goal is to empower you with information, encouragement, and advocacy every step of the way. I believe in honoring your unique journey and preferences, offering non-judgmental support that respects your decisions and desires. I would love to connect with you for a free consultation! Let me buy you a cup of coffee/tea or we can schedule a zoom/phone call. Booking with me will include one in person pre-birth meeting around 36 weeks, on call birth support, and one in person postpartum visit. Text and phone support available starting at time of booking through postpartum visit.
