About me

Hi! My name is Amy and I'm a Birth and Postpartum Doula in Lexington, KY. My work focuses on 3 pillars of support during the birthing year! Education: knowing your options and planning for your ideal birth experience and the unexpected. A great way to avoid a traumatic birth experience is to be really educated about your options before you go into labor! Advocacy: knowing what you want and making sure that is respected and supported. It's your birth and you're in charge! Recovery: postpartum is a gift to reset your health, but this requires rest, nourishment and establishing new routines with your new baby. I will help you make a plan before baby arrives and implement it after you give birth!

Amy is incredible. She is extremely knowledgeable on birth and meeting with her during pregnancy seriously helped my anxiety. During birth she was a calming force and after was the best advocate for me in the hospital. Would recommend her a million times over!

Amy is incredible and I don’t know what I would have done without her. She is kind and warm and so fun to talk to. She has so much knowledge and experience and is happy to share any and all of it. I felt safe and cared for, which is truly the biggest gift. It’s priceless. I hope every new momma finds an Amy.
