“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.”

“Amber was absolutely amazing and the best support person I had during my pregnancy and postpartum journey. While I struggled massively during my first few weeks postpartum Amber was always there at the end of a video call or message with either reassurance or facts from trusted research or other members of her doula community. No matter the time of day, she was there. She helped me feel better and supported me to remember my true values about my baby and my journey. I was so lucky to have Amber by my side through this amazing and also tough but beautiful journey as she was my number 1 support.”
-Manuela, Cameron and Hudson
“I found the knowledge I gained from Amber the most helpful. As a first time mum, learning and applying what I learned has given me so much confidence. Having a little me time and having home cooked meals was a big added benefit, too. Amber is amazing with bub and a good listener. I felt safe and I also learned heaps!”

“Amber was my birth and postpartum doula and she was wonderful. So calm and supportive, kind and gentle in everything she did. Her knowledge around all things birthing and babies was fantastic and if she didn’t know something, she found the resources to share with me. After my little man decided he was ready to be earth side at 36+6, Amber was all ready on call and at the hospital quickly.
With an unplanned C-section happening (breech baby) and family that weren’t in the country just yet, she stayed by my side and kept me calm even when I started to loose myself.
In theatre she helped me with breathing exercises to calm down, constantly advocated for me (as I wasn’t able to myself) and then stayed by my side in recovery. She made sure we were all okay and settled into our room before leaving and then returned early the following day.
Amber made sure I felt supported through out my entire hospital stay and then once I arrived home she gave me space to share those first few weeks with family, but was ready to step back in once they went home.
Having a doula for my fourth trimester was a godsend. As a first time mum I constantly doubted myself and was very deep in the postpartum trenches, but knowing Amber was coming over a couple of days a week helped me get through.
She bought with her the most delicious home made meals and snacks whenever she came over and was there for everything I needed. Help with baby, washing, general tidying of the house and most of all she was a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on. Everything you need help with when you are nap trapped most days or just exhausted.
If you were looking for a sign to have a birth/postpartum doula who is non judgmental, kind and knowledgeable, then this is it. Amber is one of the best investments you will ever make.”
