Blossoming Babies Childbirth Services

Hi, I’m Amanda Matthews—a certified birth doula through DONA International and a Gold Seal Certified HypnoBirthing® Childbirth Educator. I provide compassionate, personalized birth support for women who want to feel informed, empowered, and truly supported throughout their pregnancy and birth journey.

Whether you're planning an unmedicated birth, considering an epidural, or preparing for a planned cesarean, your birth matters—and so does the way you experience it. As your doula, I walk beside you every step of the way—not to direct or take over, but to offer steady emotional presence, physical comfort, and evidence-based information so you can make the choices that feel right for you.

Pregnancy and birth can stir up a mix of emotions—excitement, uncertainty, joy, fear, hope. My goal is to help you move through each stage with confidence and calm, knowing you're not alone. I offer tools and techniques to support your mind and body during labor—drawing from both traditional doula training and the deep relaxation and breathing techniques of HypnoBirthing.

With a strong foundation in childbirth education and years of hands-on support, I’m here to help you:

• Understand what’s happening in your body as labor unfolds
• Find comfort through proven techniques like breathwork, position changes, massage, and visualization
• Advocate for your preferences in a way that feels confident and grounded
• Create a birth experience that feels safe, supported, and uniquely yours
• 
  

You deserve to feel strong, respected, and fully present as you bring your baby into the world.

This is your story, your body, your baby—and your birth should reflect that.

If you're looking for calm, confident guidance and a doula who truly listens, I’d love to connect with you.

Congratulations on your pregnancy! I am thrilled to have the opportunity to support and guide you through this incredible journey of bringing new life into the world. With both professional training and the lived experience of being a mother of six, I am dedicated to providing you with compassionate, knowledgeable, and personalized care throughout your pregnancy, labor, and postpartum period.

As your doula, my role is to be your advocate, your source of information, and your unwavering support system. I believe that every birthing mother deserves to have a positive and empowering birth experience, and I am committed to helping you achieve that. Whether you are planning a hospital birth, a birth center experience, or a home birth, I am here to ensure that your wishes and preferences are respected and honored.

My training includes comprehensive education in childbirth preparation, HypnoBirthing®, comfort measures, and emotional support techniques. My goal is to provide you with evidence-based information, helping you make informed decisions about your birth plan. I will be by your side throughout labor, offering physical support such as massage, positioning suggestions, HypnoBirthing® relaxation, and breathing techniques to help you find comfort and calm.

Beyond the birth itself, I am here to support you during the postpartum period as well. I can assist with breastfeeding guidance, newborn care education, and emotional support as you navigate the joys and challenges of early motherhood.

I am honored to be a part of your birth team and to witness the strength and resilience you will display during this transformative time. My commitment to you is to provide non-judgmental, compassionate care, and to create a safe and nurturing environment where you feel empowered and supported.

I look forward to getting to know you better, understanding your unique needs and desires, and working together to create a birth experience that is truly memorable and positive. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns you may have. Let’s embark on this incredible journey together!

HypnoBirthing® is more than just a childbirth class—it’s a complete philosophy and method for approaching pregnancy, labor, and birth with calm, confidence, and empowerment. It is based on the belief that birth is a natural, normal, and healthy life event—not something to fear.

Through a blend of relaxation, self-hypnosis, breathing techniques, visualization, and education, HypnoBirthing® helps parents release the common fears and misconceptions about birth. By doing so, families are able to work with their bodies instead of against them, creating a smoother and more positive birthing experience.

Some benefits of HypnoBirthing® include:

✔️ Reduces fear, stress, and anxiety before and during labor
✔️ Promotes shorter and more comfortable births
✔️ Lowers the need for unnecessary interventions and pain medications
✔️ Builds confidence in your body’s natural ability to birth
✔️ Strengthens the bond between the birthing person and their partner
✔️ Creates a calm, peaceful environment for welcoming your baby

HypnoBirthing® is for every family—whether this is your first baby or your fourth. It is equally supportive in home, birth center, or hospital settings, and can be practiced alongside midwives, OBs, or doulas.

By taking HypnoBirthing®, you aren’t just preparing for labor—you are preparing for a positive, empowering start to parenthood.

✨ Your birth story matters. With HypnoBirthing®, you’ll discover that birth can be joyful, peaceful, and deeply empowering. ✨T
