Hi, we’re Amanda Matthews and Katarina Lunde—the co-founders of The Birthing Boutique. ✨
We are certified birth doulas, postpartum doulas, and HypnoBirthing® Childbirth Educators, offering full-spectrum, heart-centered support for families throughout pregnancy, birth, and beyond.
At The Birthing Boutique, we believe your birth experience matters just as much as your baby’s arrival. Whether you’re planning an unmedicated birth, considering an epidural, or preparing for a cesarean, our role is to walk beside you—not to direct or take over, but to support, guide, and empower you every step of the way.
We provide personalized, compassionate care rooted in evidence-based practices and the calming, powerful techniques of HypnoBirthing. From pregnancy through postpartum, we’re here to help you feel informed, grounded, and deeply supported.
Together, we support our clients in:
- Understanding the physiology of birth and what’s happening in your body
- Finding comfort through breathwork, movement, positioning, massage, and visualization
- Navigating choices with confidence and clarity
- Creating a birth experience that feels safe, supported, and aligned with your values
We know that pregnancy and birth can bring a mix of emotions—excitement, vulnerability, strength, and uncertainty. Our goal is to hold space for all of it, while helping you step into your birth feeling calm, confident, and empowered.
You deserve to feel seen, respected, and fully supported as you bring your baby into the world.
This is your story—your body, your baby, your birth.
If you’re looking for intentional, supportive care and a team that truly listens, we would be honored to walk this journey 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 childbirth education, HypnoBirthing®, comfort and pain-relief techniques, and emotional support designed to help you feel confident every step of the way. I’m also certified in Acupressure for Labor, a powerful hands-on method that can support progress, relieve pain, and promote relaxation naturally.
My goal is to provide evidence-based information so you can make informed choices that align with your personal birth preferences. Together, I'll help your body work calmly, confidently, and in harmony with your baby’s birth.
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
