ABOUT ME

Hi there, I'm Amanda.  I live in Eau Claire, Wisconsin with my happy little blended family. 

After my own childbirth and postpartum experiences, I become passionate about providing pregnant people with education, respect, and guidance through their journey.  It's never what we expect, and we all deserve support along the way.  ​I love supporting people during vulnerable times and empowering them to find their inner strength.​  I value evidence-based information and unbiased support for parent's decision making.  I never underestimate the power of a well-placed swear word or a good laugh when things get overwhelming.  I like to get to know my clients on an individual level in order to curate an atmosphere that makes them most comfortable and safe.  My goal is to decrease birth trauma, one client at a time.
