My name is Amy. I am a wife and mother of four daughters. I grew up in western Ohio and have been in the Houston area for over twenty years. I am a DONA (Doulas Of North America) certified doula and have been in practice for several years. It’s my pleasure to assist moms and their babies in a traditional hospital setting. Or, as a safe, personalized alternative to hospital childbirth, at a local birthing center in the Montgomery County area.
It's my passion to assist moms through the entire birthing experience, providing a tailored amount of partnership as needed. My goal is to provide every mom with the right amount of information, encouragement and support needed for a satisfying and fulfilling childbirth experience. Let me help you! The G&G Baby motto is: “Serving moms and babies from a heart filled with grace and gratitude”.
“All DONA certified doulas and members sign and agree to adhere to specific Standards of Practice/Code of Ethics. Families and practitioners can feel assured that when working with a DONA certified doula, they will receive the highest standard of professionalism.”
I’m looking forward to meeting and working with you!
