“Having Amy as our doula was invaluable, and I can honestly say that I don't know what we would've done without her - before, during and after the birth of my son.
When we first connected with Amy, I knew I wanted her to be my doula. I could see that she was warm, compassionate and empathetic, and I felt a strong connection with her. We shared similar values about the birthing process and I knew she would respect and support what I wanted, which proved to be true during my protracted labour.
Amy was there whenever we needed her and provided indispensable support during my labour, both physically and emotionally. She was like a beacon of light, calmly helping me push through, and worked so well with my midwife, as they discussed and implemented strategies to help me birth my son. She also supported my partner during the birth - enabling him to recharge while being reassured that I wasn’t going through contractions alone - and was a font of knowledge in our preparatory and debriefing sessions. We can’t recommend her enough!”

“It’s hard to put into words exactly how special it was having Amy support as our postpartum doula following the birth of our baby boy. Amy was the perfect fit for my husband, our newborn and myself. Her relaxed and warm demeanour and ability to listen with such care and love made each visit so easy and enjoyable, it was something I really cherished each week.
We had the most delicious food (HUGE benefit during those wild early days) and Amy always just slot right in, cuddling our bub (and our dog) or tidying up the kitchen often without me noticing.
When every day is a total blur navigating newborn life it was an absolute blessing to have the support of a postpartum doula especially like Amy – hands down it was the best thing we did for those early days. The ability to talk through my thoughts, feelings and everything else was also so therapeutic at such a challenging yet beautiful time. I cannot recommend Amy enough – thank you for everything; you were amazingly supportive and helpful for our little family.”

“I developed a connection with Amy almost instantaneously. Her warmth, ability to listen and empathise, and wealth of knowledge was so evident from the first meeting. I felt seen, heard and empowered throughout my pregnancy, birth and postpartum experiences. The advice, strategies and practical help she offered were so beneficial and appreciated. Amy was so inclusive of my husband and older daughter in every moment.
My labour and birth didn’t play out at all the way we had anticipated but in the face of an unexpected situation, Amy remained calm and level-headed, and supported me and my husband as skilfully as ever. The love she showed for my newborn daughter is so genuine and the care I received postpartum is unmatched - I am so incredibly grateful for our time together and how it shaped my experience.”

“We are eternally grateful to Amy for her support surrounding the empowering birth of our second daughter.
Amy is intuitive, warm, compassionate, skilful, supportive, knowledgeable, attentive, calming and an incredible cook.
From the relaxed, informative sessions in the liminal stage leading up to my due date, to the birth itself and the tender weeks that followed, my partner and I felt so held by Amy. She consistently offered so much - sharing a wealth of knowledge, resources, and providing sister-like warmth. I’m so grateful to Amy for helping us debrief the birth of my first daughter, voice fears and hopes for the next birth and helping me navigate my anxieties about becoming a mother of two. Intuitively knowing when to step in and when to step back, she offered useful skills and unwavering support, free of judgement. She gave my partner the confidence to be a major part of the birth, allowing him to step forward, be fully present and never leave my side.
We were fortunate to have a calm and peaceful birth and postpartum, which we look back at so fondly. Having Amy as part of our birth team was the best decision we could have made.”

“Having Amy as my doula was an incredible experience. As someone who has worked with women recovering from birth trauma, I was aware of the importance of the right support during this precious time. I connected with Amy right away. She had a way of making me and my partner feel completely comfortable and always made herself available to listen to my many concerns.
Amy’s passion for supporting women meant that she went above and beyond and provided a wealth of knowledge and resources along my journey. During birth, her presence was reassuring and she knew when to step in and when to provide space. After birth I felt so supported with Amy’s delicious meals, teas and chats. I feel incredibly grateful to have found Amy during my pregnancy and couldn’t have asked for a better journey into motherhood thanks to her support.”

“I was incredibly lucky to connect with the beautiful Amy as my postpartum doula. It was a very special experience spending time with Amy in the early weeks and months of my daughter, Olive’s, life. Becoming a new mum is such a transformative experience where you can feel very vulnerable and uncertain, along with all the feelings of love and bliss. Amy was there to support and nurture Olive and I through all of this. She offered practical support and care, bringing beautiful and nutritious food and supplies that were always thoughtfully prepared to help support the healing postpartum body. On top of her great knowledge of postpartum nutrition, Amy was full of expertise on babies from feeding and settling to physical and cognitive development. She gave me so many great tips and gentle advice which really helped me grow into my new role as a mumma and navigate some of the tougher moments.
You can just see how much Amy loves babies! She was amazing with Olive and I felt so assured when Amy played and spent time with my daughter. And maybe most important was Amy’s emotional support and how she was able to connect with me and my daughter so authentically. Visits from Amy were always a highlight of our week and it very quickly felt like she was an old friend. Amy is a very special soul and talented doula who I would recommend to anyone! She is so generous, so aligned with her values and so genuine in her mission to support new mums and bubs as they go through one of the most important transformations of life.”
