I called Amy as soon as I found out that I wasn’t producing near enough milk for my newborn. Amy came over to our home within a few hours. She has a great demeanor and was able to calm my fears and concerns. Being a new mom finding out you’re not producing is quite emotional and I felt so much better after consulting with Amy. She told us about using an SNS system, which I was not familiar with. Now, 6 weeks in, I still have an exclusive breastfeeding relationship with my baby using the SNS and donated milk. Amy took the time to explain everything to us and all the options we had. She even let us borrow her scale for a few days so that we could measure our babies weight changes as we started to supplement with donated milk. If we hadn’t contacted Amy, I may have given up on breastfeeding but we are still happily going strong.

We were fortunate to go to an OBGYN practice that supported & encouraged the use of a doula. We interviewed with a few doulas and Amy quickly stood out to us as the right match for our needs. Amy provided us with pregnancy support and extensive education – even through Zoom due to Covid-19. She prepared us and answered any and all questions regarding labor, pregnancy, & breastfeeding. During early labor, Amy was readily available and facilitated us staying home as long as we were able. Once we were at the hospital, Amy provided consistent support to both my husband & I. We had a few times where our labor preferences needed to change and she was able to help walk us through decisions. Post partum, we have received the same level of attention & support from Amy with early infancy development & breastfeeding.

We cannot say enough about the positives Amy brought to our pregnancy, delivery, and early days of parenting. I have said numerous times – I don’t know how we could have done it without her! I would encourage all families to explore the services a doula can bring to your experience and my highest recommendation would go to Amy! There is nobody else I could imagine having provided the level of support, compassion, and knowledge throughout our experience with her. We feel so fortunate to have her part of our son’s birth and hope she will be present for any future pregnancies! Thank you Amy!

Amy continues to help me grieve the loss of our first child by opening her heart and her home. She hosts a support group in a very relaxed and comfortable setting that is open to everyone. During group, we all get a chance to share our story with as little or as much detail as we are comfortable with. Members of the group offer honest support and I have never felt misunderstood or uncomfortable sharing my experience with them. We let our grief manifest through creative projects that Amy plans and provides during each group session and you can always tell she put so much thought and effort into how it will help you heal. I am so glad that I found this group because not only did I find a wonderful group of people to support me and the loss of my daughter Poppy, but I also learned about Amy’s doula services. I have gone on to give birth to a healthy baby boy and Amy was there the entire time. With her extensive knowledge and background in pregnancy and infant loss, she was able to help me through what could have been an incredibly triggering and scary delivery. She continued to share her knowledge after birth by helping me with breastfeeding and continuing to grieve my daughter while also raising my son. Amy has been such a rock for our family and we couldn’t have done any of this without her. Cannot recommend her enough!
