“Amber is so compassionate, loving, strong and caring. She truly is the definition of a doula(a mother for the mother). I am beyond grateful she was my doula and supported my husband and I through the experience. She made me feel at ease through the birth and provided amazing postpartum support! Amber, you are such a gift to this community.”

“Amber has been a great help with postpartum support. She’s been helping me keep sane since my second newborn arrived. Not only does she help keep me eating balanced meals, she also gives me advice and listens when I rant about all sorts of crazy things. When times are low, she has been there to support me emotionally. I don’t think I could have enjoyed the past few months without her help!”

Exactly 6 weeks ago came our little Jeriko. The labour time was pretty tough, but we were blessed to have Amber on our side. When we finally stood in the hospital and the contractions became really intense Amber was there. I think without her support I never would have been able to go through that birth, almost without any medication! With her help and emotional encouragement (and just the laughing gas) I was able to breath through every contraction. Also for Shane, my husband, it was a big plus to have her on our side. She brought me some nice healthy snacks for after the marathon and visited us postpartum with healthy food for the first crazy days at home - that was also really helpful! She seems just to know what you really need and I would go with her any time again! Thank you Amber, you are such a beautiful soul!

“Amber helped us welcome our sweet baby girl into the world on November 24th. She was such an incredible support - she knew exactly what to do to to help me through painful back contractions, she helped guide Kyle as well. After babe was home, she followed up with some home visits, which in those first lonely days of postpartum were so nice! We’ll be having Amber over for some more postpartum support in the near future!
Before I was pregnant I wrote - I haven’t had the chance to use Amber’s services yet, but hope to in the future! However, I do know her and follow her on social media and love the information she shares! Amber is also one of the kindest women I know!

"The best thing my husband and I ever spent money on during pregnancy and postpartum was Doula care. It's not the crib, the stroller or the glider but the days where you can take a quick cat nap as Amber came in, stealthily, and cleaned the the bathroom and kitchen (the two areas you will never find time to get to) and then took our son and held him, changed his diaper and soothed him until the next breastfeeding session. We were so thankful for Amber and her expert care and her listening ear. Not only would she clean the house and soothe our son so I could get a bit of "me" time, but she listened to all my insecurities and encouraged me to keep going. She'll tell you about her experience when she feels like it will help and she has lots of resources to guide you in the journey of a new mom. We would recommend her to anyone!"

"I have had the pleasure of knowing Amber for a number of years as she cared for two gorgeous boys. My role was to support Amber in the families home and together we would chat about the boys, their interests and where they were developmentally. Amber showed a nurturing and kind nature towards everyone that came into her life, and her passion for working with children shined through. I loved how Amber always came down to the child's level and listened to them, showing that she really cared about them."

"I really believe that Amber's support allowed me to labour at home for MUCH longer that I would have been able to without her. She was also great support to my husband. I don't know how we would have coped without her. Amber was also very dedicated in learning our birth preferences, including attending hypnobirthing classes with us and doing lots of study and preparation in her own time. She was a steady support with a calm presence and a real commitment to working with us in a way that was very personal and fit and supported our choices."

"Amber's calm and nurturing presence, her ability to provide support (emotional and practical) in a non-intrusive way and her respect for my parenting style and choices made her an integral part of my postpartum journey. She really came alongside me and supported me in a way that empowered me while also providing rest and practical help. Her support in processing and debriefing after our child's birth was a very important part of my postpartum journey. Things really didn't go as I had hoped they would, and being able to process with someone who was there was really helpful. I wouldn't change anything about her support - she was exactly what we needed."
