Amanda loves lighthouses and I think it’s because they are very similar. Not only did she grow up on the rocky coast of Maine, but she is a pillar of strength, a solid, trustworthy person. Someone I can stand by and admire during the lovely days and someone I am grateful for during the storms.

Having Amanda by my side through pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum meant I had a fierce advocate, a cheerleader, an educator, a helper. She was even at my house folding laundry on the day we came home from the hospital.

During the birth, Amanda was very present and supportive of my decision to deliver naturally. She continued to remind me of my options, helped calm me, and was a steady support throughout the birth.

"My husband simply says Amanda is worth her weight in gold. I am certain our birth would have gone differently without her. Amanda is the total package - she brings prenatal support and suggestions, perfect labor support and wonderful postpartum connection.”

— Sarah R. K., Freeport

Amanda is one of the most kind-hearted, compassionate people I know. She is fun and very easy to get along with and work with. She is also able to stay focused on the task at hand and see a job through to successful completion.

“I had reached a point where I was about to give up on breast feeding, but my lactation consultant Amanda turned everything around for me.”

— Caroline C., Westbrook

Not only is Amanda a knowledgeable, helpful, and dedicated team member, she is a strong advocate for all issues affecting people throughout the perinatal period.

To say the least Amanda was incredible. She was very professional and an amazing advocate during labor following not only what we had talked about before labor in my birthing plan but responding to and discussing any changes I felt necessary whilst in labor and relentlessly advocating when it felt as though my voice hadn't otherwise been heard. Amanda was also an incredible support for my husband and helped to keep both of our moods upbeat when we are exhausted and/or at our wits end. I would highly recommend Amanda.
