Your Questions Answered
What is a doula?
The word comes from a Greek word meaning "to serve." Doulas serve and support women and their birth partners and families with the emotional and physical aspects of childbirth, prior to labor, during labor and post-partum.
Who should use a doula?
Everyone!! No laboring mother can have too much emotional and physical support. A good doula will empower the laboring mother in ways she never imagined, whether you desire a natural birth or seek medical intervention.
How will you work with my partner?
I love to work with families! Often your birth partner will want to support you, but be at a loss as to where to start. Doulas can assist birth partners in offering meaningful support and assistance.
"...Amanda is a wealth of knowledge on all the local birthing, postpartum and support resources. She was a great support throughout my pregnancy and when labor finally started she was wonderful! She is encouraging, calm, reassuring, experienced and it was great having a second person there to help me through the contractions. I am so thankful for how well my birth went and for Amanda's awesome support. She is also very helpful and supportive after birth and post-partum with recovery and breastfeeding. I definitely recommend Amanda to all my friends looking for a doula!"
