Meet Your Doula
Delivery & Postpartum Doula
Amber has spent more than 20 years walking alongside families through birth, postpartum, and the full arc of early parenthood. As a certified Labor and Postpartum Doula — and a mother of six — she brings both professional training and real lived experience to every family she works with.
Her approach is personal and practical. She works with families throughout South Florida — Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, Broward County, and Palm Beach County — and is available for travel births. Hospital, birth center, home birth: she meets you where you are, without judgment or agenda.
Families work with Amber because she shows up fully: present, calm, and focused entirely on what you need in the room. From your first consultation through your last postpartum visit, you are not doing this alone.
Certified by ProDoula
Services
Whether you need a steady presence in the delivery room, nurturing care in the weeks after birth, or both — Hummingbird is here.
Not every family needs continuous labor support — some need deep preparation. Birth coaching is personalized education, birth plan development, and mental and emotional readiness work, available as a single focused session or as ongoing support leading up to your birth. You choose what fits.
Pricing is based on your specific needs and is determined together during your complimentary consultation.
Labor doesn’t keep business hours — and neither does Amber. When your contractions begin, whether it’s midday or 2am, she comes to you. She stays by your side through every wave: managing the environment, supporting your partner, advocating for your wishes, and helping you stay grounded from early labor through the moment your baby is placed in your arms.
Becoming a mother changes everything — and no one should navigate that transformation alone. Postpartum coaching offers space to process your birth experience, build confidence in your new role, and create a rhythm that works for your whole family. Especially meaningful for first-time mothers and families welcoming additional children, this is grounded guidance for the emotional and practical realities of life after birth.
Pricing is based on your specific needs and is determined together during your complimentary consultation.
The weeks after birth are demanding in ways you cannot fully prepare for until you are in them. Amber provides hands-on support through the days and overnight hours of your fourth trimester — newborn care, feeding guidance, recovery support, and steady help with the whole-family adjustment that comes with a new baby. She is there so you can rest, heal, and find your footing.
Overnight care a nanny isn’t trained to provide. Amber handles feedings, soothing, and newborn care while you sleep — so you wake up rested, not depleted.
One-time overnights or weekly shifts through week 8.
All services include prenatal education, birth plan support, and postpartum check-ins.
Doula services may be FSA/HSA eligible — Amber provides documentation with her NPI number. Confirm eligibility with your plan administrator.
Why Amber
Here is what makes working with Amber different from any other doula in South Florida.
Amber has lived pregnancy, birth, and postpartum six times. She brings real, embodied wisdom alongside her professional training — because she has been exactly where you are.
Over two decades of supporting families through their most vulnerable and meaningful moments. Her calm is practiced, not performed.
Amber is committed to ensuring that Black and brown mothers feel heard, respected, and safe — in any birth setting, with any care team.
With approximately 20 VBAC births supported, Amber understands the emotional and practical complexity of choosing a vaginal birth after cesarean. She will walk that path with you.
Amber has served high-profile families and understands that privacy matters. Every client relationship is held with care and complete confidentiality.
No two pregnancies are alike. Amber integrates nutrition education, movement, mindset, and practical planning — tailoring her approach entirely to you and your family.
Choosing a vaginal birth after cesarean is one of the most courageous decisions a mother can make — and it deserves unwavering support. With approximately 20 VBACs supported, Amber is uniquely equipped to help you navigate the medical conversations, the emotional weight, and the moment-to-moment reality of your VBAC journey. You will never feel alone in that room.
How It Works
From your first conversation to the weeks after birth — here is what working together looks like.
A relaxed, no-pressure conversation — by phone or video — where we get to know each other, talk through your birth vision, and answer every question you have. No commitment required.
Once you decide Hummingbird is the right fit, we finalize your package, schedule prenatal sessions, and begin building your birth plan and postpartum care plan together.
Through prenatal sessions, Amber prepares you — body, mind, and home — for birth and the weeks that follow. Partners are welcomed and included every step of the way.
Amber is on call from 37 weeks onward. She is with you through labor, delivery, and into the postpartum window — checking in, supporting your recovery, and celebrating this new chapter alongside you.
What Families Say
From the very beginning, she brought a calm confidence that made me feel safe, informed, and truly supported. She never pushed, never judged — she simply met me exactly where I was and helped me believe in what my body was capable of, even in moments when I doubted it myself. There’s something incredibly powerful about having someone beside you who doesn’t just support you, but truly sees you. In my most vulnerable moments, she was my calm, my anchor, my steady reassurance that I wasn’t alone. My VBAC wasn’t just a physical experience — it was emotional, healing, and transformative, and Amber played a huge role in that.
— Anonymous · VBAC Birth
During my labor, I needed someone to remind me to breathe, speak life over me, and help me stay anchored in peace. Amber did exactly that. She carried such a calm, gentle presence and continually encouraged me with truth and positivity. She was also an incredible support to my husband — guiding him, caring for him, and stepping in whenever he needed a moment so I was never without support. When decisions arose, Amber helped us slow down, ask questions, and understand our options with wisdom and confidence. Because of her support, I had a beautiful and positive birth experience.
— A Hummingbird Mama · Labor Support
— Barbie · Birth Support
If you’re thinking of working with Amber, please do. She was such a blessing for me and my birth experience. It was so positive — and it wasn’t easy. I had a very long, hard labor overnight, and she was just there with me the entire time.
The reason I highly recommend her is because she truly cared about my dream and advocated for what I wanted. She’s so calming, and I just needed that in my birth. In those intense moments, having her hold my hand and remind me to breathe — to let the oxytocin flow and help my body progress — made all the difference.
My husband was there loving and supporting me, but he needed a break sometimes too. Amber was there to relieve him, and that trio — my husband, Amber, and me — was just amazing. It was everything I ever wanted, everything I dreamed of. Thank you, Amber.

Common Questions

Amber is certified in both, and many families choose to work with her throughout the entire journey.
A VBAC doula supports families choosing a vaginal birth after cesarean — helping navigate medical conversations, manage the emotional weight of the decision, and providing continuous physical and emotional support throughout labor.
