Your Birth • Your Support • Your Way

Hi, I'm Amanda. I believe our bodies are beautifully designed for pregnancy and birth, and every family deserves evidence-based information, compassionate support, and the confidence to make decisions that feel right for them.For thousands of generations, mothers have carried, birthed, and nurtured their children. However, navigating modern pregnancy, labor, birth, and the early newborn period often comes with countless decisions, unfamiliar information, and competing opinions.Whether you are a first-time parent, navigating the medical system and interventions, trying to facilitate a natural birth, or seeking to understand the multitude of decisions that go along with considering a birth plan.... I am here for you.As a doula, I provide non-clinical informational, emotional, and physical support throughout pregnancy, birth, and the early parenthood transition.This includes empowering you to make informed decisions, providing evidence-informed education, advocating for your preferences, and remaining by your side throughout labor, birth, and the early postpartum period.My role is to protect the birth environment to facilitate the best possible outcome. Prenatal education is an important part of this, which is why each of my packages include prenatal visits to help you and your partner advocate confidently throughout the process and make informed decisions.While birth is inherently unpredictable, your support should never be. My goal is to provide a calm, dependable presence so you always know you have someone in your corner.Whatever your needs may be and wherever your chosen path may lead, I am here to walk alongside you.

Hi there! My name is Amanda, and I am human mama, cat mama, and plant mama.I am also a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine who found a calling as a birth doula and childbirth educator.After my own experiences in my first pregnancy and natural home birth, I felt deeply called to empower women in their pregnancy, birth, and motherhood journeys.My philosophy is simple.Having a baby is a natural, healthy life event.Pregnancy is not a pathology, and birth is a physiologic process that deserves to be approached with confidence rather than fear.Nature in its remarkable design has crafted our bodies to be able to carry, deliver, and care for our children.At the same time, every woman walks with her own history, values, and circumstances. Each deserves education and support tailored to her unique needs throughout matrescence.I am devoted to supporting the wellness and fitness of women, in every stage, and with it,
every child, partner, and family.My calling is to protect the unconditional
mother-child bond—
from the ember of pregnancy, to the fire of birth, and the glow of motherhood thereafter.

I am a Chicagoland native from the Northwest side.I did not venture far for my undergraduate studies at Northwestern University, where I obtained my Bachelor of Science and double major in Biological Science and Dance, and minor in Psychology.
Go Wild Cats!Before medical school I built upon my knowledge and passion for health, fitness, and movement, working for a research organization studying exercise intervention to reduce fall risk in older adults. I served as Research Assistant, Fitness Intervention Leader. Concurrently, I continued to teach specialized acrobatic, tumbling, and dance throughout the Chicagoland area.I later attended Midwestern University, Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine where I was selected for a scholarship junior faculty position which extended my medical school journey from 4 to 5 years to build my training and knowledge in osteopathic manipulative medicine and technique.At the beginning of my fifth year of medical school, my son joined our family and changed everything.Experiencing informed, empowered pregnancy and birth firsthand deepened my appreciation for the complexity and beauty of motherhood. It also transformed my perspective, shifting my focus toward supporting the maternal-infant bond—recognizing that one of the most meaningful ways to protect infant and early childhood physical and emotional development is by directly supporting mothers.After earning my Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from Midwestern University, I went on to obtain DNT Doula and Childbirth education certification.I also founded EmberMama, a newly growing online community for mothers to read experiences, learn, and share on topics such as wellness and movement, motherhood, self-growth and discovery, natural living, and family-friendly outings and adventures.In addition to my birth and women's wellness work, I serve as Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine faculty while also working as a women's fitness specialist and acrobatics, tumbling, and dance instructor.
