“That’s the thing about birth, we don’t get an itinerary. We have to surrender and let go and it’s in that vulnerability we find the courage and strength we forgot we’ve had since our own birth. The power is already in you.”

About Me
I began my journey of birth work while supporting friends and family after my own birth experiences back in 2013. I soon realized that this was the next step in my career. I am both certified as a birth and postpartum doula. Certified in CPR and bloodbourne pathogen prevention. Trained placenta encasulator, v-steam and reiki practitioner.
I am truly honored each time I get to work with a new family. Regardless if you are planning for your first or fifth baby, you deserve support and care as you walk through fertility, pregnancy, labor, postpartum and beyond.
I Love My Families!
I’m so grateful we had her there. Amanda brings a calming and confident presence to the room along with her knowledge to help guide us through the stages of birth.

Amanda is wonderful, understanding and patient. She brought a sense of calmness and peace to my labor. Her postpartum healing services she offers are a must, as well! My husband has told everyone about Amanda and how huge her role was in labor. He truly believes you should invest in a doula after our experience!
– Anissya Munoz
Amanda was wonderful and helpful before, during, and even after our daughter was born. Whether it was just giving us another adult to talk to outside of our newborn, to helping knock out our chore chart, Amanda did it all. We would keep her if we could! So thankful that she was our Doula and PP support!
– Kimberly Heard
Amanda was the perfect doula for our birth! From the very beginning she was helpful, informative, comforting and encouraging. I felt very taken care of throughout my entire pregnancy. When I was going into labor Amanda helped me feel calm and confident. She worked with my husband and I to help us have the best experience possible. She also gave us space to enjoy special moments just the two of us. We loved having Amanda with us. I would recommend her to anyone!
