Amber Zrust is a practicing Doula in the Central - Illinois Valley Area. She is a mother of 4 cool kids, ages from 9 years to 15 months. Her passion for birth, breastfeeding, and supporting women began about 12 years ago with the need to take back her own births. After experiencing her own birth trauma, she hoped that there was a better way. There was. As a doula she now takes these same hopes for
herself, to each mother. She believes each woman should get the support they need during pregnancy and birth, have a place to feel loved and safe, and feel powerful and in control of her birth. In her time as a doula she has experienced many different births, supporting each woman individually, but equally. She supports all families and feels comfortable in any environment from home birth to cesarean, and is confident that her presence can help the family in any situation. Recently, Amber became a trained Lamaze Childbirth Educator, and soon plans to train in Bereavement Support, as well. She has a love for photography and has really enjoyed adding Birth Photographer to repertoire. When she isn’t supporting families at their birth, she can be found at home sewing for her other business, RockerByeBaby, going on adventures with her family, or snuggling up with her husband at the end of a long day.
