Hi, I’m Amber!

I’m so glad you’re here.

Take a deep breath, relax your shoulders and release any tension you’re holding.

I’m here for you. I’ve got you now.

First, what is a doula?

A Doula is a trained non-medical professional who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to pregnant individuals and their families before, during and after childbirth to help them achieve the healthiest, most satisfying experience possible.

But what does that mean to you or me?

It could mean providing resources throughout your pregnancy to help you come to an educated decision about your care. Or it could be during labor I help your partner guide you through a breathing exercise while doing a hip squeeze to provide comfort during a surge. Maybe its doing some laundry for you while you hold your baby quietly in the days after birth.

Being a doula means showing up for you however that may look in such a vulnerable time to make sure you get the best outcome possible for you.

A little about me

I’m a certified birth and postpartum doula with Doula School Canada. I absolutely love working with babies (and their amazing parents), during one of life’s most beautiful, and sometimes challenging, transitions.

My journey into this work started after having an empowered, transformative birth experience with my own child. After that I realized how vulnerable this time can be, and I believe that every parent deserves a calm, empowering, and fully supported birth and postpartum journey—and I’m here to make sure you feel seen, heard, and deeply cared for.

I truly believe in the power of listening, and I’m here to walk beside you, offering guidance, holistic care, and a warm presence as you navigate this beautiful time in your life.

I’m the right doula for you if you’re a little bit crunchy but you can’t go without your daily Dr. Pepper or the occasional Starbucks either!

The Golden Hour Doula is…

Personable

What works for one family might not work for another and it’s my job to provide a safe space where you’re heard and work collaboratively to find what works best for you free of judgment. I’m always trying to expand my knowledge and understanding to ensure unbiased care.

Holistic

Whether you need someone to listen, offer resources, or just sit with you in the quiet moments, I’m here for you. My goal is to help you have the best experience possible and I do that by finding out what your needs are and providing holistic care that’s best for you.

Current

My job is to provide evidence-based research to help you come to the best decision for your health and your family. To do that I’m constantly updating my knowledge and following new information to ensure you have the most up-to-date information when making your choices.

See what past clients have to say about me.

Very informative!

Amber is an amazing person who was always very punctual, very informative, confident yet discreet and always respectful to my needs.

This was the second time I became a mom and my experience was much better and different this time. Working with her in this very special professional relationship helped me feel empowered in my versatile and demanding prenatal, birth, and postpartum experiences.

She always contributed with up to date information from legitimate scientific sources. I appreciated a lot that she recommended several women-led community and medical resources that proved to be very helpful and even game-changing (found out about tongue and lip tie in my baby that caused breastfeeding challenges and pain).

I would absolutely recommend the Golden Hour Doula to any prospect or new mama out there.

Highly recommend!

Having Amber as part of my pre-birth, labour and postpartum team was, I believe, the key component that made it a positive and successful experience.

Her care and knowledge were invaluable, she was able to answer all my questions, she provided me with resources I did not even know existed and always made me feel like an active and involved member in the process.

During times where my partner struggled to support me, Amber was there providing me the support I needed while still working to keep them involved. I would highly recommend Amber to anyone considering hiring a doula!

Above & Beyond!

Amber went above and beyond to ensure my husband and I were very supported and informed on the labour and delivery and postpartum process.

She was my brain and advocate during labour when I needed it the most. The pain management techniques and reminders during labour were what helped get me through having a natural birth.

Working with Amber you will find she is organized, extremely knowledgeable and a solid support! Without her guidance I truly believe I would not have been able to have the birth experience I had hoped for!
