I was raised in Albany and am now growing my family here. I feel that when we support birth, we support the health and future of our communities. Continuous and compassionate labor support, tailored to your unique situation, is so significant for birthing people. Families should also be provided evidence-based informational support during the pregnancy process so that they can truly know all their options prior to going into labor.

You can have peace of mind knowing that you will be supported in your decisions with the aim of a positive and joyful birthing experience.

I have a special interest in the relationship between the mind, body, and baby during the process of birth and I often view the nervous system as a tool to tap into this system. I hope to pursue this interest and deepen my knowledge in the near future by completing a pre and post natal fitness coach certification.

Hello everyone! my name is Amanda, & I have been working in childcare for over 5 years. I obtained my associate degree in early childhood education in 2021 and my doula certifications through the International Doula Institute in 2023. I have worked in various environments including an in-home daycare, a childcare center, and the homes of personal nanny clients. I chose to pursue doula work because of my innate drive to support others and provide the needed assistance to empower families in their abilities. I am beginning to create and grow my doula business and I look forward to connecting with families around my community! I have a calm and reserved personality type which allows space for everyone to be seen and heard. Outside of doula work, I enjoy working on sewing projects, home improvements, and visiting with family!

In my work, I value autonomy and informed consent. I am committed to providing trauma-informed, inclusive, and justice-oriented care for all, including people of color, queer and trans folks, disabled people, and those belonging to all types of family structures. I'm also happy to talk about how to center faith/spirituality in birthing experiences!

Birth never gets old to me. It’s always beautiful, surprising and full of hope and promise. Over 23 years of being a doula, I’ve seen so many amazing people become parents and new babies join us- some of whom are grownup now! My philosophy is that, you know yourself, and I believe in your ability to make the choices that are best for you and your family at your birth- my goal is to support you during the process, answer questions, help you make informed decisions when presented with unexpected circumstances and help with practical solutions to issues such as a baby who isn’t in an optimal position, social/emotional issues and needs, supporting your partner and other children and animals and more. I bring tens of thousands of hours of time spent with people in labor worth of knowledge to you and your birth, and whatever you choose- epidural, unmedicated, induction, cesarean, etc makes no difference to me, I will support you through whatever you choose, help you achieve your very best outcome and make sure you are safe and validated throughout. You are all my life’s work, and I’m grateful to be trusted with your care.

As a full-spectrum doula, I see birth as more than a physical event. It is a sacred and transformative rite of passage. My care is rooted in faith, mindfulness, education, and spiritual wisdom, creating space for clients to slow down, tune in, and trust the bodies God has given them. I support the whole person, mind, body, and spirit, through breathwork, affirmations, prayer, and grounded presence. Whether during pregnancy, labor, or postpartum, I help clients move through each phase with clarity, peace, and confidence, while honoring God’s presence throughout the journey.
