Hello, and thank you so much for being here today!

My name is Amy. I am a mama to three beautiful, wild, and life giving little boys, a wife to an amazing man that lets me chase my wildest dreams, and a nature lover with a beautiful garden in the summer months,  an indoor jungle in the winter months, the most generous bees (I just harvested my first bit of honey this year!), and many mountains to hike near my Montana home.

I love spending time running around with my boys, and cheering them on in the many passions they have - from reading, to building the coolest legos, to baseball stars - I am their number one fan. 

My husband and I have been married since 2015, and wow! what a transformation we have both gone through since having babies (Let's talk about that one, huh?!) I think when we hit our ten year anniversary we will renew our vows again because we are not the same, young, spunky, vivacious couple we were back then. We have grown into this wiser, humbled, certainly more tired couple that has found a way to love each other deeper, harder, and so much more passionately (and boy, did that take work!).

I am grateful every single day for my beautiful life that the Universe has given me.

Now, as you can see, I wear many hats! As I am sure you do too! But in this space, where we are meeting now, I wear the hat of birth worker, teacher, student, doula, and all around birth nerd and advocate. 

I believe birth is powerful and sacred, and deserves the utmost care, nurturing, and respect. And as I was working as a labor and delivery nurse 4 years ago, I realized that I was on the wrong side of care for expecting families. I began to feel defeated as I worked with family after family that desired a specific birth and felt disheartened, like a failure, and undeserving when they didnt have the birth that they had hoped for. There came a day that I knew I had to be a support in a different way. I knew I wanted to help mamas feel powerful during the most important day of their lives. I wanted to help mamas feel at peace with the unfolding of their birth. I wanted to help mamas feel in control of their birth story! And I wanted to help women REMEMBER there was a sacred side to birth.

Because those mamas I had worked with before, I recognized something in them that I recognized within myself. I felt betrayed in my first birth. I felt out of control, unprepared, and as if I wasn't capable of achieving the beautiful, powerful, and natural birth that I had been dreaming about since that first positive pregnancy test.

I know that you are capable, because again, I see me in you! And I see you in me! I knew I wanted to feel everything, I wanted to be in control, I wanted the least amount of interventions possible, I wanted the healthiest pregnancy and birth I could possibly achieve, and because I was able to achieve this for my next two births, I KNOW you can too!

How do I know this is possible for you?

Because I am sharing everything I have learned over my years as a mama, who has given birth to three babies, as an experienced labor and delivery nurse who changed careers to become a natural childbirth educator, licensed massage therapist, yoga instructor, natural child birth educator, and holistic birth coach. As I share the deep knowledge, education and wisdom with you, I know you will begin to naturally find the power within yourself to have the powerful birth you're really desiring.

"A positive birth experience is not about having an unmedicated birth, it is about being informed, empowered, and heard during your transition into motherhood." - Amy L.
