Kind Words from Mamas

"Beautiful Amy, I can't even begin to imagine my pregnancy, birth or postpartum without you! Amy held me from the first trimester through to the fourth, and did so with love, respect and so much knowledge and wisdom. I knew as soon as I found out I was pregnant with my second baby that I wanted to honour this time with ritual and celebration, whilst also preparing for a VBAC, and as a doula myself I had pretty high standards for how I envisioned doing so. Amy gave me everything I wanted and needed (whether I knew I needed it or not!) and my experience has been incredible because of it. I would recommend to EVERYONE!"

"Hiring Amy as my birth and postnatal doula was one of the best investments I’ve ever made in myself. From the moment we met I knew I needed Amy to be a part of my birth team. Amy offered calm, considered support throughout my pregnancy and really trusted my decision making. Amy held a birth ceremony for me which honoured all that I dreamed of for my birth and secured our faith in each other ahead of my planned HBAC. When my baby decided to make their way earthside I had complete faith in myself, my baby and my team, Amy offered the most reassuring presence, her energy, her knowledge and experience could all be felt through the eye contact she gave me, her touch, her kindness. With Amy’s support I birthed exactly how I dreamed of, a healing, calm, redemptive experience that I will forever be high from! I will forever be grateful to you Amy for holding me, for loving me, for sharing with me the most magical experience of my life. Thank you will never be enough. Honestly, you really don’t need the buggy, the posh cot, the matching outfits… if you are thinking of hiring Amy and your energies align, do it, she is pure magic!"

"Choosing Amy as our Doula for our second child, and having her support us throughout pregnancy, during our labour and birth, and postnatally has been the best decision we could have made for our family. Her guidance, advocacy, care and kindness has healed our trauma from the birth of our first child - it has meant everything to us to have her with us for our journey into parenthood once more. It fills me with joy every time I think about my birth, and that’s because I could advocate for myself and make informed decisions, all thanks to Amy. She was there to care for me postnatally, ensuring I had the help I needed to breastfeed, cooking for us as a family, and caring for my mental wellbeing (along with so much more). Amy is the best investment we could have made in ourselves as parents, both for our older child and our newborn. It has set up for such a confident start into parenting once more, and we are indebted to Amy for all of her love and support. I feel so passionately now about how different a journey into parenthood can be with the right support. Thank you for everything you’ve given us, Amy. It means the world to us!!"

"We were blessed to meet Amy about half way through our pregnancy and I knew straight away she was going to be the right person for us. I loved doing the shamanic antenatal sessions with her and the birth prep session left us both feeling confident and excited about the birth. She was also on hand with a wealth of knowledge for any questions I had before the birth too. Amy was also our postnatal doula and it was the best investment I made, in those tender and vulnerable early weeks it was such a comfort to know Amy was coming. To help with baby but mostly to care for me, to make sure I was nourished, help me with breastfeeding and just be a wonderful listener and hugger. And she makes delicious food, something you don't have time for in those early days. I really missed her when she finally left us! Couldn't recommend Amy enough for all your pregnancy, birth and postnatal needs, she's wonderful."

"I can’t express in enough words how incredible Amy is. The best decision I’ve ever made for myself was hiring a doula and I couldn’t have imagined anyone more perfect than Amy. From the first conversation i knew she was the right person for our family, her loving nurturing and calm energy is everything a family needs in such an important and vulnerable time. With her love and support from start to finish Amy helped me achieve a planned HBAC birth turned Freebirth. She gave me all the support I needed with every conversation prior to the birth, and her energy in the room when the day came along was more than I could’ve ever asked for. I will cherish my birth forever, and give thanks to Amy for helping us bring our baby earth side the way we had always dreamt of. Thank you so much Amy you’re an angel! I wish we could relive the birth over and over!"

"After being told that my baby's birth was now an emergency C section, I immediately picked up the phone to my husband and Amy. I felt like I had the strongest team around me and we rushed down to theatre. Seeing Amy’s face when we came out of recovery was incredible. She was there when we needed her with the biggest smile. We had a huge hug, a cry and again she showed up for us both by giving us the most fantastic, warm and wonderful support and help while we settled into our first evening with our little boy. I can honestly say that everything felt that much easier and I was much calmer with her there. We are now 5 weeks postpartum and still feel just as held and encouraged as I was on the day Louis was born. The antenatal planning that we were taken through helped prepare us for any unexpected circumstances. For this I am truly grateful."

"We met Amy very early in my pregnancy and immediately felt a connection and sensed her deep passion for supporting mothers and mothers-to-be. Since then, Amy continued to exceed all expectations as our doula for the birth of our first baby. With Amy's help we planned (and had) a wonderful home birth, something I don't think I would have felt comfortable doing without her support and guidance. I will never forget the phenomenal care I received from Amy during labour, the hours immediately after giving birth, and in the first few weeks of life with our newborn--Amy made sure I felt safe, held, and always well-fed! As our postnatal doula, Amy never missed a beat in terms of helping out, whether it was light tidying around the house, cooking us the most delicious meals, or holding our baby while we caught up on much-needed rest. I could go on and on about all the amazing little touches that made Amy's care so exceptional. But in short, it was an absolute blessing to be in Amy's care."

"Amy was a calm and welcome presence in our home during the early weeks after giving birth. We felt very well looked after. She cooked us delicious food and would help support me to rest by taking the baby, doing light house duties (which made such a difference) and being a listening ear too. I wish we could have had her for longer!"

"We cannot recommend Amy highly enough! Amy was our birth doula for our first baby and the care, knowledge and support we received from her was incredible. We learned so much from her antenatal sessions, helping us write our birth preferences/plan and make important decisions regarding labour and birth, as well as essential planning for a successful postnatal period. We were committed to having a home birth and when the pregnancy went post dates we were under all kinds of external pressures. Amy supported all our decisions and helped me to remain calm. I ended up going into labour at 42+5 and our baby had the beautiful home birth we wished for. Amy and my husband worked together to give me exactly what I needed during labour to stay in the zone and I can honestly say I was in my own world, uninterrupted during my labour, not needing to ask for anything as they both so naturally gave me everything I needed. She advocated for me when the home birth service was due to finish which could potentially have resulted in an unnecessary hospital transfer. having her on board during the most important time of our lives has been one of the very best decisions we have made. Thank you so much, Amy!"

"Amy was our sensational birth doula for our first baby. I could not recommend enough her support, knowledge and kindness. Without her I am not sure we would have got the birth we wanted as she advocated for us when we were getting pressure to do things differently when there were no medical reasons to. We went into the birth fully informed of birth options and had a lovely natural birth despite baby being back to back. I was originally very anxious and wanted a lot more intervention but was empowered to try hypnobirthing. All so positive thanks to her guidance. Amy went above and beyond in everyway. If she didn't know she put me in touch with right people. Don't hesitate if it's your first baby as it made our experience overall."

“I can't thank Amy enough for choosing us for being a doula to us and our twin boys. In the early newborn stages I described Amy as being our 'angel'. She always brightened our home, the boys absolutely adore her, and she puts the biggest smile on everyone's face. Amy's multi tasking is amazing, meaning she was able to look not only after me but also help me lots with the twin babies - all with incredible ease and a real love for our family! Amy's passion really comes through every day - in truth I feel she has made me a better woman and mum in the process and I am so grateful that we decided to work together."

"Amy was part of our journey in pregnancy and postnatally. Being a second time mummy myself but my partner being a first time daddy we knew we wanted some support and guidance for this journey together. Amy was the most amazing support to both of us from start to finish. She has a wealth of knowledge in breastfeeding support, hypnobirthing, birth, nutrition during and after pregnancy, vitamins and was just the most amazing support to us as a couple. She helped us advocate for ourselves with some hard decisions the hospital threw at us and was generally an extra person when we needed her the most. I would highly recommend her to anyone starting this journey together, she will not let you down"

"I recently had an empowerment session with Amy to discuss my upcoming home birth. Amy shared her knowledge and experience in a warm, compassionate and digestible way. Both myself and my husband really enjoyed the session and feel more skilled and confident about the upcoming birth. Her support extended beyond the session as she sent resources and links based on our conversations for me to further extend my understanding. Amy also thoughtfully gifted us with some flashcards and a comb to utilise during labour which I am looking forward to using. Thank you, Amy. Keep being amazing at supporting all those mamas, they are lucky to have you!"

"Amy was the most incredible support for our family, both leading up to the birth and in postnatal sessions in our home. I felt such a connection with her from the moment we met. Her kindness, thoughtfulness and wonderful sense of humour brought so much warmth and a sense of calm to what is such a stressful and emotional time. She helped with breastfeeding support, light housework and a shoulder to lean on for advice on all things labour and 4th trimester. I miss our chats and laughter so much already, and I recommend anyone who is looking for a doula to look no further. She is wonderful! Thank you Amy x"

“Amy and I got on really well and shared lots in common including both having two sons. She fitted straight into our house and became an extended member of the family immediately. She genuinely cared for us all and is a great listener, supporter and champion in every way. If I could have her come every week indefinitely I would!"

"Working with Amy was a pleasure and exactly what we needed. After our previous birth we were looking for a calm and reassuring presence to help us have a positive experience. Amy really helped us before the birth focus on what this might look like for us. Amy was amazing at reassuring us throughout and helped us achieve the positive experience we were looking for. She was a pleasure to work with and we would 100% recommend her to anyone. Thank you so much Amy!"

"During the birth she was just incredible- she was a silent supporter for both myself and my husband just gently guiding us in any way she could help or support. She helped to keep us informed of our general progression and was always so calm and respectful. I cannot fault her at all and it makes me emotional to think how perfect she has been throughout this whole process because we couldn't have done it without her"

"Having the support of Amy throughout our prenatal, birth and postnatal journey has been invaluable. She often went above and beyond what was expected and my partner and I both felt supported every step of the way. Amy is great at ensuring that you have all the information you need to make the right decisions for you and was a constant reminder not to feel pressured into making decisions that don't feel right. During the birth I felt extremely confident in my birthing team and this enabled me to feel safe and to let go of fear. The birth fell on Amy's birthday and she stuck with us until the end despite it being a long labour. I have no doubt that Amy was the right doula for us and we will be forever grateful for her support and guidance. I would highly recommend working with Amy!"

"Amy supported our family after the birth of our second baby and was an incredible support to us during a vulnerable time. She’s such a lovely and kind hearted soul, a great source of knowledge and support, as well as being an incredible cook! We would recommend her to every family, she’s a star!"

"After my previous birth, I would not have believed it was possible to be comfortable during labour. With Amy by side labour was not something I felt afraid of anymore (however uncomfortable). Overall, I had a great experience working with Amy. She was very respectful and approachable throughout and brought good knowledge on the subject. She listened to my concerns and tried to understand where I was coming from. That always made me feel heard. Having Amy by my side and knowing I could count on her gave me great confidence going into one of the big moments of my life.

"I honestly cannot sing Amy’s praises highly enough. We recently had our second child and decided to use her services after having a rocky time postpartum after our first child with no support during Covid. Amy always seemed to know what I needed before I did. She is full of amazing recommendations and is so helpful with all things baby and mum! She gave some really useful breastfeeding advice which after a difficult breastfeeding journey with my first child was so lovely to have and feel supported with. Having Amy support us postpartum was one of the best investments I could have made for my journey into being a mum of two. She is fantastic at what she does and I can’t recommend her enough!"

"Absolutely life saving and heaven sent. Also it was wonderful that despite experiencing me in various different moods, states and environments Amy treated me the same it felt like she genuinely had unconditional care and positivity towards me no matter what and an obvious passion to help and care for me and my family (beyond even what anyone in my family would have) ! She is an absolute precious gem stone and I truly believe that the positive impact of having her to support us even just a few hours a week for the first few weeks of my daughters’ life & our transition into being a family of 3 will last our whole lifetimes."

"Amy is a powerhouse full of knowledge, kindness & compassion. The support I received from Amy was second to none, I felt truly listened to. Thank you for your guidance in helping provide me an empowered, calm and most importantly positive mindset for welcoming my baby into the world!"

"From the word go, Amy was professional, knowledgeable, approachable and friendly. She offered great practical support -from holding the baby in a sling whilst I caught up on much needed sleep, to cooking us delicious meals, helping me take the baby out for the first time, and giving me the confidence and support and practical help to breast feed in public. Amy helped me through each step of the way and after a tumultuous pregnancy, I could have definitely not done the things I did with my baby, were it not for Amy's help. Constantly and throughout Amy has been a rock to me emotionally and mentally. I'm ever so grateful for her help and support"
