Rosebud Doula & Pregnancy Lifestyle Consulting

My husband and I attended Amy Bookwalter’s ‘Weekend Madness’ Basic Childbirth 101 Class at the Freedom Center in December 2013, with a January 2014 due date. Attending her class was one of the single best decisions and investments my husband and I could have made leading up to the birth of our son.
First, this class is phenomenal, with tips on how to cope/​manage pain, pushing techniques, homeopathic/​natural options to use throughout the birthing process, positioning, «mental preparation» for what is to come, when to know you’re going into labor and WHAT TO DO (if contractions start during the day/​at night, etc.) and SO MUCH MORE.
Our son was going on almost 2 weeks past his supposed due date, and I was getting very anxious. I called Amy (having only been an attendee of her class), and she was right there for me — she went through some options with me, and provided solid advice and encouragement. She told me to call my son by his name all day, to speak to him, and to «get my mind right» in welcoming his birth, and the fact that I was going to become a mother. I did exactly this, and my contractions began at 2:00 AM early the next morning :)
When my contractions started, I knew EXACTLY what to do. I felt prepared, confident, and unafraid — despite some major contraction pain!!!
With my husband by my side and an incredible doctor (who also delivered many of Amy’s own children!), I delivered my son COMPLETELY non-​medicated, without even a Tylenol. This could not have happened without the investment and time spent with Amy in her class, so that both my husband and I could be prepared, and have the knowledge and mindset to withstand 11 hours of contractions, labor, and pushing.
Amy’s is incredible, her classes are outstanding, her knowledge is incredibly deep and comprehensive, and I just cannot say enough wonderful things about how much she helped me and prepared me as a new momma-​to-​be.
After her class, she was so excited to see how the delivery went, and how I was feeling. Her support has been felt and extended way beyond her class.
Sign up for her class TODAY — you won’t regret it.
