Hello! I’m happy you’re here! If you’ve found your way here, it means you already know that partnering with a doula for your pregnancy and delivery is an important step in having a birth experience you’ll be happy with.
Research shows that the presence of a doula during any birth (this includes surrogacy, LGBTQIA+, gender-affirming pregnancy, and adoption birth) can significantly improve the birth experience for everyone involved.
I believe that every person deserves the right to have informed choices, education, and non-discriminatory advocacy for their birth experience. When we partner together, I will prioritize your autonomy in a way that ensures you’re heard and valued every step of the way.
My full-spectrum services are inclusive and trauma-informed.

How do I partner alongside my clients?
When I partner together with a birthing client, my ultimate goal is advocacy and informed partnership, whether that be primarily me or a spouse/partner. I make sure that I hear my clients and honor their wishes for their birthing experience. I offer a lot of hands-on training beforehand to ensure that we're all on the same page with pain management, laboring positions, and big decisions that may arise. Getting to know how you and your support system communicate can help me best teach and assist you for the best birthing experience possible. I want you to leave our prenatal appointments feeling heard and prepared for the excitement ahead of us!

What Clients Are Saying:
“My husband and I decided to work with a doula for my fourth child. From the start, Amanda was knowledgeable, friendly, and extremely professional. After interviewing 3 other doulas, we knew immediately that she was what we were looking for. Amanda focused on getting to know us so that her services could truly be tailored to us. This was so helpful for my husband and made him feel included. Our labor and delivery did not go anything like we planned, but having Amanda there every step of the way, helping us to understand and feel more at ease, made the experience positive as we navigated the many challenges. We are very satisfied with Amanda’s service and highly recommend her!”
— Tasha, 4th baby
“As we planned for our first child, we knew that having an expert and support person in labor was going to be helpful for us both. With so much unknown, we wanted to find a doula who would educate us, advocate for us, and who was compassionate and kind to guide us through the childbirth process. Amanda did all of that and more. Her presence was transformational for our birth experience. She provided me options for positions to labor in with the support of my husband and cared for my mind, body, and spirit as we prepared for and went through labor and delivery. She was with us every step of the way, encouraging us with information, options, and support. Having Amanda by our side was the best decision we made in our birthing journey and we cannot say enough about how highly we recommend working with her.”
—Jaclyn, 1st baby
