Hi! I'm Amanda, a birth doula who is passionate about women's health. I believe your birth experience with your baby can be positive and beautiful. This passion started for me when I had my first child, and my love for birth, babies, and women's health has only grown since. I love supporting women and families through this big life change. As a doula, I'm an addition to your team to help you integrate what you hope for your birth. I'll anticipate your needs, respond with compassion, and bring knowledge and tools to help you navigate your situation. I've completed a five week birth doula course with DONA International and continue to educate myself to be able to serve you the best I can.

I can’t recommend Amanda enough as a doula. She is one of the most intentional and emotionally intelligent people I know, always deeply connected to those around her. Her ability to connect with people in different settings and build lasting, supportive relationships is remarkable. She balances warmth and kindness with professionalism and can be direct when it matters most, ensuring everyone feels heard and understood. Her passion for birth is undeniable, and her open-minded approach creates a space where you never feel judged, no matter what choices you make. She’s incredibly dependable, emotionally present, and will go above and beyond to meet your needs. As a mother herself, Amanda has worked hard to create beautiful, empowering birth experiences, which speaks to her deep understanding and respect for the process. I truly believe anyone who works with her will be in the most capable, compassionate hands.

I've always been passionate about pregnancy and birth, reproductive justice, and mental health. Being a doula naturally combines all of those! After I attended my first birth, I was instantly drawn to being a birth partner. Shortly after, I expanded my expertise to becoming a postpartum doula and lactation counselor, and then gave birth to my own child in 2021. I became a childbirth educator in 2025. I love being a doula because it gives me the opportunity to mentor birthing people and their families, to uplift them in advocating for their reproductive and mental health, and to validate their feelings, instincts, and celebrations. Every person has a right to be supported before, during, and after their birth. Birth is big. It comes with such a spectrum of emotions, joys, challenges, and experiences. I support parents to utilize their own strengths and abilities through all of the “bigness” of birth. I want to provide birthing people with a comforting, nonjudgmental, and empowering support as they and their families go through this exciting and sometimes emotionally intense life transition. I believe that every person deserves love and support; there is nothing special that you need to do or know or be in order to be worthy of it. Pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period are unique to each and every person, and I honor each individual's choices. I offer my services to individuals and families of all walks of life.
