A little bit about me...
I am married to my best-friend Brandon, we have 4 amazing kiddos and SO many pets. I am an avid reader, writer and enjoy some video games and TV/movies in my spare time. I was a dental assistant for almost 10 years prior to pursuing my passion for birth-work!

what is your doula philosophy?
My doula style focuses on discovering the mom’s strengths and helping her find her voice so that whatever decisions she makes during the pregnancy, birth and postpartum, feel authentic and empowering to her.
My philosophy is that women and families deserve to be educated and empowered to make decisions that align with their values and that their voices be respected and honored in the ups and downs of pregnancy, birth and postpartum.
why did you become a doula?
I always had a positive perspective on birth because my mom spoke so highly of her pregnancies and birth experiences. I knew from a young age that my hearts desire was to be a wife and mom and I had the opportunity to get into the birth world before my first child was born when I became involved with a friends non-profit in Virginia that sought to educate and support women in the community from preconception to postpartum. Through this work I got to know midwives and doulas in my local area and with the support of my friend through my birth I knew a doula would always be a part of any future pregnancies I went through. My experience with my second doula was a learning experience about how important it is to find a good match for the type of support I needed in birth. And my third doula with my youngest founded East Raleigh Doula Co two years after my youngest was born. After they posted on social media that they were hiring and I inquired to see if they would mentor me down the road when my kids were older and I had more time to pursue my desire to be a doula they encouraged me to jump right in to my training and doula work and I haven’t looked back since. I did my doula training in June 2022 and my postpartum training in January 2025.
favorite types of clients to support?
I especially love supporting first time moms as they find their way through the transformation that is pregnancy and birth. Helping moms and families feel empowered as they walk in to parenthood is a profound honor I will never take for granted.

I cannot imagine going through our birth without the support of our East Raleigh Doulas! Amanda and Devin were incredibly helpful and huge resources from day 1 of our journey with them. We loved that we got to work with both our primary doula and a backup doula so if needed we’d know our back up (and we did need it). The classes included with the package were amazing and I’m so glad we had them as resources to learn ahead of birth and parenthood. They helped us navigate all the ups and downs of this crazy journey and made everything a little easier and less scary!
When it came to our actual birth we did end up using our backup doula, Devin, as Amanda was already attending another birth. Since I had an induction they were both amazing in communicating and coordinating with us so we knew who was coming and had the support when we needed it. I truly can’t imagine going through my birth without Devin by our side. It was a long process and all of the positions, support, distractions and genuine care was invaluable. Her approach to pushing was exactly what I needed from a coaching and cheerleading perspective. She was a calm and collected presence with post birth repairs and complications.
From pregnancy to birth and postpartum I’m so happy we went with East Raleigh Doula for support! I can’t recommend them enough!
