I provide birth/postpartum doula support in-person, and offer virtual parent coaching and pediatric sleep management support. I provide virtual support worldwide for parent coaching and pediatric sleep management. I provide a wide range of sleep support ranging from gentle/normative sleep approaches to more parent-led sleep methods. I specialize in neurodivergent children who struggle with sleep into toddlerhood/adolescence.
Having Amanda on my side as my doula for my birth experience was empowering, especially when things started not going according to plan. She helped me advocate for myself throughout the whole process and stayed for the entire 36 hour labor.
