Woodland Birth & Wellness

Amanda was incredible! Right from the beginning of my pregnancy all the way through to postpartum.My husband initially was unsure if a doula was necessary or not, but within 10 minutes of meeting Amanda he was absolutely on board with adding her to our birth team! She was available all throughout my pregnancy when I had questions and had great suggestions and advice.During labour Amanda added the most incredible calming presence to the room, and was there to remind me to keep movement in my hips, keep me drinking water, and provide me with all the support I needed. My birth went amazing, and Amanda was a big part of that.Afterwards she encapsulated my placenta for me, provided me with breastfeeding assistance and made sure I was handling life well with my newborn baby. I cannot recommend Amanda enough!

I had an extremely positive experience with Amanda's postpartum services. I was beyond exhausted and overwhelmed with a new baby and 6yr old and just having her here while I got much needed sleep was the biggest relief. I could sleep without having any thoughts about the kids as I knew they were well taken care of. Five stars 100%

Amanda encapsulated my placenta for me. She was fabulous to deal with. Very informative, and made sure I got what I wanted. This is the second time getting my placenta encapsulated, but the first time having Amanda do the encapsulation process. I have to say I was disappointed with the place that did the encapsulation for my first born. A higher price, and a brochure was all I got from them ahead of time. Amanda is kind enough to supply an insulated bag, and other supplies you need for the nurses to put your placenta into. I had to get all that stuff myself with the first one. She did an amazing job with the placenta stamp too. I was floored when I seen it. I was again very disappointed with the stamp the other place had given me. I feel like I could see Amanda's love for her work shine through the stamp by the way she colored and placed it. If I have anymore children I will definitely be using Amanda for my placenta encapsulation again. Thank you so much Amanda!

This was my 5th birth, all natural without pain medication but my first with a Doula. If I could go back, I would have hired a Doula for each one! Amanda was amazing!Having a husband who works away from home in the oil and gas industry makes it hard enough to plan anything, let alone a babies Birthday! Amanda supported us and helped us feel ready and in safe hands, in the event that my husband couldn't be there in time. The day after my husband left up north for work my water broke and I went into labor. My husband wasn't able to make it in time unfortunately but Amanda was there for me and supported me all the way! She called my husband on speaker phone during labor, right before and right after my baby's birth! Keeping him informed and apart of it as much as possible. Amanda the Doula was definitely amazing for me and my family and would recommend her to anyone having a baby, whether this is your first or fifth!
