About
Aloha, and congratulations to you and your family. My name is Amber, and I have been a doula since 2015. I am a military spouse, and a mother to a spunky 5 year old. After my own unplanned, and highly unexpected, unassisted home birth I suddenly understood, on a primitive level, the strength and power that came naturally with my own womanhood. Feeling empowered, I began my journey to help others discover the strength that already resides within themselves. I received my training from CAPPA and have had the honor of working with, and learning from a wide variety of birth keepers over the past few years. I have learned so much on my journey and with every birth I fall more and more in love with birth work. I never imagined myself working within the birth world but, now that I am here I cannot imagine doing anything else. In 2017, and again in 2018, Artemis Doula and Birth Services was chosen as "Top Doula Services" in Honolulu, Hawaii. I whole heartedly love what I do. In addition to my work as a Doula I also offer Placenta Encapsulation, Postpartum Belly Binding, and Yoni Steaming.
Doula Philosophy
I believe that during birth a person should feel strong, confident, and powerful. I provide birthing individuals and those journeying with them unbiased, evidence based information so that they are able to make the best choices for them and their baby. I am not an advocate for any one particular type of birth but rather I am an advocate for repectful care and bodily autonomy.
