Our doulas
Amber Skaggs, CLD
I’m Amber - follower of Jesus, wife to Victor, mom to five littles. If you had a window into my life, you’d catch me barefoot around my house, always with an iced latte in one hand and a baby in the other, worship music playing, tending to my home and the hearts inside it, baking new things, giving hugs, kissing owies, and playing card games. I’m a homeschool mom and love raising our kids - Benaiah, Adalynn, Gideon, Malachi, and Oaklynn. We have one special needs little who was diagnosed with PANDAS at age 2; and also carry Banner in our hearts, who is in heaven already face to face with Jesus. Joy and grief go hand in hand and we are no strangers to it. Forever thankful that we get to follow Jesus through it all!
It goes without saying that all of our children’s births were life changing and each special in their unique ways. And when I had my first midwife assisted home birth with Gideon (# 3), it shook everything we thought we knew about childbearing - in the best way. Through that, the Lord lit a burning fire inside of me to help other women do the same.
I’ve not only experienced the beauty and intensity of birth many times myself, I’ve also assisted women both in person as well as virtually, ranging from home birth to hospital vbac to lactation and postpartum support. I care deeply not only for a woman to be adequately informed and educated on the process of her pregnancy and birth, but also specifically in preparing for the fourth trimester - postpartum. It all matters, how you prepare your body, heart, mind and spirit for this new season of motherhood. And it’s such an honor to get to serve women through it all.”
