Baby Minerva K.
"I chose Amanda as my midwife for my homebirth because she made me feel safe again after a hospital experience that had left me doubting my own ability to give birth safely. It is hard to describe how life changing it is to have the kind of support and compassion given to you that a good midwife provides. She does so even through the phone.
Always available and always answering any questions I have. 
Amanda is experienced and calm as a midwife and it reflected over everybody in our home including my husband. Less than an hour after her arrival our baby was born in a comfortable position and with our whole family in high spirits and good humor. Everyone participated, including our toddler.
Up to this birth, following my previous experience with childbirth, I had been dealing with severe PPD. And now after having this amazingly supportive and empowering experience, I feel like I am coming back to find my happy and confident self again; something I lost at the hospital.
If you are anything like me, hire someone who really listens to you and supports you fully; hire a midwife. If you live in the Kentuckiana area, hire Amanda Chandler."
