Amy’s Approach to Doula Work

Amy’s professional and personal endeavors have always been driven by an unwavering commitment to supporting thriving children and empowered families- as a devoted eldest sister to 5 siblings, a professional nanny specializing in infants and toddlers, a direct support professional and in-home caregiver, a social worker, and now as a Postpartum Doula!

Amy views the postpartum period as a time of profound transformation and is honored to witness and support families throughout the 4th trimester with non-judgmental, compassionate care. Amy integrates her social work education with her deep understanding of maternal mental health, infant development, and community resources to provide evidence-based information, emotional support, and referrals to local resources.

At the core of Amy’s approach is the principle of nourishment- whether this comes in the form of preparing a nutrient dense meal or a warming herbal tea, a nurturing conversation, or caring for baby while parents rest or engage in a self care practice. Amy’s priority is to facilitate a space of nourishment where recovery and bonding can flourish. Amy hopes to leave the families she works with feeling confident, secure, and in connection with their babies and to their own intuitive wisdom. As well as empowered with knowledge and resources so they continue to thrive long after her time with them.

Amy’s Background

Amy has felt called to the world of birthwork since she was a teenager, and was further inspired by her time traveling throughout Mexico and Central America and learning about the birth & postpartum traditions from local communities. She speaks Spanish and is very excited to work with Spanish speaking families! She is also currently pursuing her certification as a Certified Lactation Consultation and engaged in lots of continued education around postpartum nutrition and herbalism.

When she’s not supporting families or traveling, Amy enjoys sharing meals with her 11 housemates, gardening, photography, picnics in the park, and getting down to live music!
