CLASSES
I have classes going year-round and would love to help you find the perfect class for you. My classes are held online via Zoom. This has been extremely beneficial for couples, especially with challenging work schedules (less drive time, dinner routines, comfort of home, etc.). I encourage you to attend LIVE when able, but a previous recording can be emailed upon request if you need to miss class.
Because my classes are held online, you do not have to be local to join. The times listed are Eastern Standard Time. My classes are interactive and contain the same material as the in-person classes, including practicing relaxation, labor positions, and comfort techniques.
Classes are limited in size to allow individual attention for each couple. I hope to make this
experience not only educational but also relaxed and enjoyable! Each class is about 2-2.25 hours long.
TUITION
Tuition is $375. Each couple will receive a digital student workbook, digital handouts, private access to an online student center, as well as phone and email support as needed. Within the series, I utilize videos, group discussions, interactive games, visual aids, labor & position rehearsals, and weekly relaxation to help prepare couples for birth.
Please contact me for my current class schedule to see which one works best for you!
BIRTH DOULA
I am also a Bradley-certified birth doula and have availability for 2-3 couples per month for labor and birth support with an additional investment. I often book quickly, so please let me know soon if you're interested in doula services as well!
TESTIMONIALS
"We couldn’t put a price on the value of Amanda’s services as our doula. She is kind, attentive and just a joy to be around. Amanda was extremely helpful before, during and after birth. She is very prompt to answer texts/emails and is full of knowledge about all aspects of birth. Without Amanda’s presence at our birth, we might not have been able to achieve the natural birth we hoped for - she and my husband traded off doing hip squeezes for 15 hours! You won’t regret hiring Amanda as your doula!"

"Amanda is nothing short of incredible. We not only took her Bradley Method class, but also hired her as our doula. Our labor was relatively fast and short, so she was only with us physically for maybe two hours of it—but her support leading up to those two hours via text and of course the class were invaluable and we believe what allowed us to have the birth that we hoped for. Amanda was always available in the months leading up to delivery to answer questions and provide support and even more so postpartum. Amanda has become more than a doula to me—she has become a cherished friend. We will definitely continue to keep her part of our lives and would recommend her as a teacher and doula to anyone we care about."- Courtney & Jason, first time parents
"Amanda is the sweetest, kindest, most wonderful soul and doula!! We’re forever grateful that she is a part of our birth story! I went into preterm labor at 31 weeks and Amanda helped keep us calm. I was on bed rest for 6 weeks until went into labor again. My cervix was dilating more on one side and she helped me with exercises to make it dilate evenly... didn’t even know this was a thing! Labor stalled and we went home at 7cm (so fortunate our OB was supportive of our request). Four days later, my OB broke my water and we had a beautiful, natural, unmedicated delivery largely thanks to Amanda! She kept my husband and me very calm through the rough bits. We both agree our birthing experience would’ve been completely different, anxious, and chaotic without her. With Amanda, there was so much peace in the room because she has such a wonderful energy! We LOVE Amanda and will forever be friends! If you are looking for a doula, there is no one better than Amanda! I tell anyone who is considering a doula in Cincinnati to contact Amanda! If we have another baby, we will most certainly want Amanda by our side! Thank you Amanda for being a part of our birth story!!"- Esther & Randon, first time parents
