Amy is a woman’s woman. You know, the kind of woman who digs deep into the riches of relationships. The kind of woman who respects the Matriarchs for their wisdom and contributes to those in emotional need by giving soulfully from within herself. Amy was born and raised in Fort Myers, Florida. In 2001, she made her way to Chicago where she completed her B.A. in Arts & Entertainment Management. After an exciting yet grueling and unfulfilling 10 years in the fine-dining restaurant and entertainment business, she had a life and career changing epiphany. It went as follows: “I am a woman who serves. Who is in need of my acts of service?” In 2013, that epiphany became a reality when she began caring for very elderly women in what felt like her first “mothering” role. Amy believes that the vision is only the first stone on the path and that the actions that follow are the stepping stones that take you to your true purpose. She has walked her path by caring for these women, her own grandparents and the children and loved ones of others and became a mother herself in 2016. Her heart overflows with joyful love and gratitude. The evolution of Amy's career has repeatedly found it's place in the care of women. And the manifestation of her life’s work is her fondest professional role yet-- it is that of a Doula. Providing physical in-person support, being intuitive, emotionally attentive and utilizing her colorful knowledge of pregnancy, birth and early parenting has made an incredible difference to the clients Amy serves. Amy is certified through DONA International, the leader in evidence-based doula training, certification and continuing education, and is also a trained Hypnobabies Childbirth Hypno Doula.  She is nurturing, compassionate, patient and kind. And when it is necessary, she knows exactly how to reach in and unlock the power in others in order for them to own their experience and create a life altering story. Amy recognizes each client’s birth as a unique opportunity for a woman to find herself as a mother and she considers it a privilege each and every time she is invited in to support that journey.- Randy Patterson, 2019
