The Joyful Doula – Meet Your Doula

Melissa F. – I love that you educated me on what my rights were as a patient, because of that I felt confident to keep telling the doctors what I wanted and asking for more time to have a natural birth. Other things I remember are you came to the hospital quickly and you stayed with me the whole time! You are personable, kind, supportive, and encouraging. During active labor, you knew what to say and when. I was so blessed that after labor you grabbed my phone and snapped a few photos for us. We were so tired, that small detail was huge. I have our “first family photo” you took framed. That meant the world to me. Lastly, your techniques were amazing! When I tell people I went unblocked (unmedicated), they ask how, I tell them “because I had Amanda!”

Susan H. – I am so glad that I hired Amanda with The Joyful Doula. She served my husband and I so well, she brought us together more during my labor, showed us positions to help keep labor progressing, massaged my shoulders when they got tense, she encouraged me and held my hand through some really challenging contractions. I felt so loved, cared for and seen during my labor and delivery. Thank you so much!!

Celestina O. – I needed your Birth Doula support so much and you provided me with so much assurance and encouragement.

Tamarah P.  – Amanda was a huge encouragement and really helped me have the labor and delivery that I wanted; a natural, unmedicated birth. Her Childbirth Class was exceptional and loaded with valuable information and insights. My husband learned a lot too. He was so thankful to have a doula present that understood everything and was willing to explain it all to us so that we could make good decisions for me and our baby. We cannot say enough good things about The Joyful Doula and Amanda.
