Amber Upchurch - Birth Doula

About Amber

I’m Amber, a birth doula and the founder of Orion Birth, a practice grounded in the belief that everyone deserves an empowering birth experience. My role is to walk alongside parents with both steadiness and skill; offering hands-on comfort, emotional support, informed guidance, and a voice of advocacy when it matters most. At Orion Birth, I see birth not as a procedure to get through but as a profound transition into parenthood. My philosophy is that when families feel supported, respected, and truly informed, they step into this new chapter with more trust in themselves and deeper connection to their baby. Birth is unpredictable, but with the right support, it can be not only safe but transformative.

What to expect

At Orion Birth, I offer full-spectrum doula support designed to meet families where they are. My services include prenatal education and preparation, continuous physical and emotional support during labor, and guidance through the postpartum transition. Whether it’s hands-on comfort measures, advocacy in the hospital setting, or simply being a steady presence at home, my goal is to help families feel informed, supported, and empowered every step of the way. In addition to birth support, I also provide belly binding as part of my postpartum care. This traditional practice offers gentle abdominal support in the weeks after birth, helping with posture, core stability, and overall recovery. It’s one of the many ways I help new parents feel held and cared for as they adjust to life with their baby.
