“Amy is kind, Passionate about birth, easy to talk to, and very knowledgeable! She is the perfect example of birth being heart-centered work and fills the cups of women she works with. I cannot recommend her highly enough to any woman who wants to be empowered to make autonomous decisions about their body and birth.”
— Elizabeth Charron, Doula, Author, Mother of 4
I can’t take away all the uncertainty of birth. But I can:
Teach you to advocate for yourself
Give you tools to navigate the hard bits
