What led you to become a Doula?: After the extremely difficult breastfeeding journey I had with my first son, with no help except from my husband, I knew prior to the birth of my second son that I needed support to achieve success. I joined a local breastfeeding group, where I learned that breastfeeding isn’t as “natural” as society likes us to believe. While a part of the group, I realized the passion I had for helping comfort, support and educate mothers during what can be a very difficult time.
What are some positive comments made about you by other people?:
“Amanda is able to make a connection with those she serves, offering nonjudgmental, compassionate support. She is well respected in our community and has been an advocate for bettering the services offered in our community. I have been impressed with her desire to serve families through being a labor support doula, as well as a postpartum doula. Amanda’s desire to educate and empower women is shown in all her work, and she puts her clients at ease through the humor she uses while educating. I admire the honesty and passion Amanda speaks with, which truly allows her to build solid relationships.”
