“Where do I start!
When I found out I was pregnant with my 2nd child I knew I wanted to do things differently this time. With my first I didn't feel very supported and it ended in a c-section. I decided to look for a Doula to help me achieve my dream to have a VBAC and I found Amber! She was recommended along side many others on a mother's group, but I went by vibe and chose amber - honestly having Amber there as support was everything and more than I expected -I don't know how I would have gotten through my long labour without her... her calm, her knowledge, her warmth & her amazingly helpful techniques to help with the process. Everything I needed to know she found sources of information. I felt so supported Emotionally & mentally which is what I was looking for. I loved that she documented my labour and birth for me to recall after, I also love that she took photos for me, precious memories I can keep forever!
To have Amber there through the entire journey plus postpartum care made things feel so much easier, you don't realise what a treasure simply being able to shower is, until you have a baby & just having her there to help, bring food etc was amazing!- I'm so grateful for such a beautiful soul offering her support to women! She is definitely doing what she was born to do.
Thank you Amber for everything xxx”

“The transition into motherhood was epically hard for me due to the type of birth I had. Having someone to talk to and see regularly that had knowledge and patience was the support I needed. Amber is the most calming, non judgmental and extremely knowledgeable person. The care she provides is dedicated to you and your baby’s needs. I felt well taken care of and that I had a safe place/person that would help me through whatever I was feeling with genuine actions and solutions. Amber helped me through the daunting feeling of motherhood and supported me so I could be at my best.”
