“She believed she could, so she did.” This mantra has carried Amanda through some of life’s most transformative moments — including the birth of her son, which became the spark that ignited her true calling.
When Amanda became pregnant, she had always envisioned an unmedicated, empowering birth surrounded by the people she loved most. But at 38 weeks pregnant, life threw her an unimaginable curve: her partner walked out unexpectedly, leaving her to navigate her final weeks of pregnancy, a new home, a young puppy — and soon, motherhood — alone.
Still, Amanda stayed deeply committed to the birth she dreamed of. With her sister by her side and the support of her midwife mother, she leaned into the tools, mindset, and preparation that would become the foundation of Mindful Birth. Through breath, movement, visualization, and trust in her body, Amanda brought her baby into the world with power and peace — turning to her sister moments after birth and saying, “That was f*cking amazing.”
That raw joy, despite the pain and hardship, is what drives Amanda to help other families find their own strength, resilience, and beauty in birth. She knows firsthand that birth is not only a physical act — it’s an emotional, spiritual, and deeply human experience. And no matter the circumstances, it can be beautiful.
Amanda is now a certified birth and postpartum doula, HypnoBirthing® educator, and passionate coach for families navigating pregnancy and the postpartum transition. She specializes in helping first-time moms prepare for unmedicated hospital births with intention, confidence, and personalized support.
Based in northern New Jersey, Amanda lives with her energetic son Gavin and their loyal Australian Shepherd, Frisco. When she’s not attending births or teaching, you’ll find her hiking in nature, lifting at the gym, or hosting cozy outdoor gatherings with loved ones.

Jennifer Watt
RPYT®, CD(DONA), HBCE®, Mindful Birth Doula
Jennifer’s training and devotion as a birth doula, prenatal yoga instructor, childbirth educator and wellness center owner stems from her own spiritual journey. On her third and final round of in-vitro fertilization, IVF, Jennifer won her battle with secondary infertility, becoming pregnant not once but twice with the help of her reproductive medicine doctors at RMA of NJ. She has three beautiful children and has given birth three very different ways, including one natural vaginal birth after cesarean section, VBAC. She has survived both antepartum and postpartum depression (different pregnancies), and has been able to help others because of these unique experiences. The balance, spiritual growth and inner peace, yoga and mindfulness provided her during these challenging times inspired Jennifer to alter her life’s course and use her experiences to educate and empower other mothers-to-be.
“Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny.”
