Amanda is amazing! We worked with her after my son was born and then again after my twin girls were born. She was there for us from
the moment we got home from the hospital at our most vulnerable moments and eased our stress and gave us confidence that our babies were well taken care of. She is a true expert in newborn care, post partum care for the mother (breast feeding, pumping, labor recovery, etc) and most of all has the biggest heart in taking care of your baby, we trusted her completely! We couldn’t have gotten thru all we did with out her!

I cannot recommend Amanda highly enough as a night doula. Her expertise and support were invaluable during those crucial early weeks with our newborn. What sets Amanda apart is not just her professional knowledge, but her exceptional ability to nurture both baby and parents.
Her reliability and communication were impeccable - always punctual and proactive about keeping us informed. Beyond the hands-on baby care, Amanda was an incredible educator, sharing countless practical tips that helped us gain confidence as new parents.
I particularly appreciated her support during my challenging breastfeeding journey. When I had to switch to exclusive pumping, Amanda provided both practical guidance and emotional encouragement, consistently reassuring me that I was doing a great job. She was also instrumental in helping us through our baby's tongue tie procedure, diligently performing the required massage multiple times daily.
Amanda's patient, caring demeanor and wealth of knowledge made a tremendous difference in our early parenting experience. She was more than just a doula - she was a mentor and support system when we needed it most. Without hesitation, I would choose Amanda again for my future baby. She is truly exceptional at what she does!

Amanda supported our family with, love, kindness and her expertise with babies helped us so much. Especially as new parents, she helped us navigate how to breastfeed, sleep training and transition both our sons through each phase of newborn while making sure I was supported through my recovery. We are so grateful for her!
