MEET AMSY

Hey! I’m so happy you’re here! Hiring a doula is such an incredible first step on a journey towards an empowered birth. I would be honored to be your doula.

I am a certified birth doula, postpartum doula, childbirth educator, and all around birth enthusiast. Whether you are looking for a guide through the entire process, postpartum recovery help, natural birth support, hospital birth advocacy, home birth assistance, VBAC support, or help in birth plan creation, I have years of experience and would love to support you.

I have had two unmedicated births personally, and love natural birth! However, my deepest desire is that families come away from their births feeling supported, respected, and without trauma, no matter what kind of birth that is. I provide c-section support, attend births with epidurals, as well as unmedicated births in and out of hospital. Everyone deserves experienced doula support, no matter what kind of birth you choose.

I believe strongly in, and put high value on autonomy. That YOU get to make the choices for YOUR birth. My job isn’t to give you all the “right” answers, it’s to help you find the right answer for you. To help you ask the right questions. To help you take all of the facts and evidence, the opinions of your provider and partner, and then to weigh that against yourself and what your gut is telling you to make a decision YOU feel comfortable with.

Evidence-based support, trauma-informed care, a nuanced approach, and individualized care are at the core of how I show up for my clients.

  • Amsy is truly the best of the best!! A friend referred me to Amsy because I was terrified of birth as a first time mom having no idea what to expect. We felt 100x more confident when it came time to go into labor thanks to meeting with Amsy and creating a birth/postpartum plan + knowing I would have her in my corner for the entire experience to advocate for me and help me navigate each stage of labor and delivery. She made me feel so comfortable - I never felt judged for any of my preferences and she was so professional when it came to giving advice on decisions I wasn’t sure about. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great doula, someone with endless resources and knowledge, someone who will help you feel equipped and empowered throughout your journey, and possibly someone who will take photos with your permission that you will cherish forever

  • Before Amsy, I didnt know what a Doula actually did. My wife and I felt heard, understood, and loved from start to finish. She really helped my wife's birth process stay calm & organized throughout every step. Stop questioning and book Amsy!! She goes above and beyond.

  • We had the best experience with Amsy. She helped up prepare for labor and post partum. We felt ready and equipped. I gave birth at LRH without an epidural and wouldn’t have been able to do it without her support and advice!

  • Amsy is the best doula in Lakeland area, I highly recommend. She is very knowledgeable and has a great personality. She is always available to answer all kind of random questions that may come to mind at any time. As a first time mom, I was anxious about my birth plan, but Amsy reassured me of my birth preferences and she made sure I was informed of the plans in case of emergency or induction. When the big day came, God knew I needed Amsy present, because her soothing voice helped me stay calm and breathe through every contraction. She took amazing videos and pictures for us to remember and show our daughter in the future. She has build an amazing community with strong and courageous mothers to help and support each other. They do events, and play dates that makes it fun to meet people and make new friends that have gone through your journey or they are doing it with you. I love Amsy and she’s going to be my first person to call when God blesses us with our second child in the future.

FAQs

  • Yes I accept payment plans! I believe every family deserves doula services, and payment plans can make doula support more accessible. Please reach out for more information on other affordability options!

    For payment, I accept cash, check, Venmo, CashApp, or Apple Cash, or I can invoice through Stripe if you need the ability to use a credit card or an HSA/FSA card!

  • I limit clients to 4 per month which allows me to focus on each family, and decreases the likelihood of births overlapping. However, in the event that I am attending another birth, a highly qualified and experienced doula will be provided at no additional cost to you.

  • I support any type of birth. From an unmedicated home birth with midwives in the woods, to a planned and scheduled c-section, and anything in between. I support home, birth center, and hospital births. Whether you want to go unmedicated or get the epidural the second you walk in the hospital doors, my goal is to support you in YOUR goals and desires. I will advocate and make sure you have all of the options and information you need in order to make whatever decision you feel most comfortable with - no matter what it is. I work for YOU.
