What mamas are saying
I went to see Amanda for a birth prep session and couldn’t have been happier with my experience. I left the session with so much knowledge, not just about how to prepare for birth, but also for what to expect afterwards. Amanda told me about many different exercises I could do to prior to giving birth so I could best prepare my pelvic floor. We also talked through different tools for labor and how I could best advocate for myself and feel confident throughout the whole birthing experience. She left space for me to ask any and all questions I had, and made the whole session feel like such a safe and open space. I feel like I learned more through this session with Amanda than I did during my labor and delivery class. I couldn’t recommend Amanda more!

Absolutely! Even with all of the planning possible, sometimes deliveries don’t go as planned and I’ll make sure you’re prepared to optimize recovery in all situations.
