August 28, 2023 at 12:32 am | Client reviewAmina served as my doula for my 4th baby… Who is born in May of 2020 (in the beginning of covid shutdowns!) as always planned- a home water birth. She was so kind, supportive and helpful through the process and also took wonderful, over in a lifetime photos of my birth that are priceless. She is very gentle and at times I needed a firmer touch or firmer voice, but I would highly recommend Amina, especially if your partner is an engineer like mine. Lol. I loved my midwife team, (from Eastside birth center) who delivered my baby, but knew I needed a bit more support from a doula. Amina will take good care of you and likely capture some beautiful pictures along the way.

She made me feel more confident and less overwhelmed as a new mom. The postpartum massage helped me feel more calm and balanced, and I noticed a significant improvement in my mood and sleep quality. I highly recommend hiring Amina if you want to have a smooth and positive transition into parenthood.

I took a birthing class with her, and then I requested her as a Doula! She did NOT disappoint. She was encouraging, calm, reliable, informative- and during my labor, she helped call me down and guide me the entire time. She was right by my side bringing me sips of water and snacks. My husband and I credit her completely. During my labor, my husband forgot everything we practiced, haha. But Amina saved the day. She’s one of my favorite people in the world. She’s wise, non judgmental, just absolutely wonderful. I am so grateful. She was reliable to show up and not wait till the last minute to come to me during my labor. I’m so grateful for her kindness and responsiveness. She offered sliding scale (because we literally could not have hired anyone without it). She was very very good to us. THANK YOU AMINA for making my VBAC possible! You are forever etched into my memories, and have changed the course of my birthing history forever. Thank you Doesn’t cover it. We LOVE Amina!
