Amissa was my doula for my first and only birth and she was INCREDIBLE. She's super knowledgable, kind, and considerate of what you need throughout your pregnancy and birthing journey. I felt very nervous about not knowing anything and once I connected with Amissa I felt way more educated and prepared for my expectations and knowing my rights in the delivery room. She advocated for me and empowered me to advocate for myself. I would absolutely recommend Amissa to anyone seeking a doula's support for their birth.

I ONLY have positive things to share about Amissa. She is compassionate, thoughtful and trauma informed. She is a caring and kind person. I have referred so MANY people to her and her services. If you do not consider her - you will be doing yourself a huge disservice.
