Amanda Ostrom M.A., CD(DONA)
Certified Birth Doula (12 years experience)
Master's degree in Biblical Counseling
My doula journey began when a friend asked me to support her at her first birth because I'd "be calm under pressure."
It is extremely rare that a doula enters this job without her own children first, but that is exactly what I did! Unlike most doulas, I did not become a doula in order to "fix" or "save" woman from my own birth experience. My agenda is to learn your preferences and help you attain your goals for birth.
My unique skills in biblical counseling color my courses with an emphasis on information processing & decision-making in light of foundational biblical themes and principles.
I often use the tagline, "someone will choose, shouldn't it be you" as the birthing woman and parent(s)?

"Amanda is such a thoughtful, knowledgeable, empathetic and encouraging doula. Her Christian faith and beliefs were very important to me! I feel so blessed to have her on my birth team for my two pregnancies!"
"My wife and I have had the pleasure of working with her twice, for the births of two children. She prepared us for labor and delivery with in-person and virtual consultations. And she worked with us through the labor and delivery experience, providing relief and enabling my wife to achieve her goals."
"Amanda's services (prenatal, birth, and postpartum) are all amazing for first-time Christian parents in particular! felt much more equipped for labor/birth after meeting with Amanda for our prenatal courses. I felt like I knew what to expect and how to cope with the pain, unexpected, etc."
