Mission Statement
The labor room is a chapel, the birthing bed an altar and the laboring woman is an offering of love bringing forth new life into the world. Perfect Love Doula Services understands that birth, especially when approached in love and wonder, is a transformative and sacred moment in the life of a woman. As a woman’s soul is transformed through the physical process of birth, Perfect Love Doulas aim to assist the laboring woman to engage her body, mind and soul in the transformation. About Amanda, Founder
Before becoming a married woman and mother, Amanda Antony spent over 6 years in religious life (i.e. After realizing that her true vocation was to find the man who would hold her in awe and exclaim, “At last, this one is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh,” she left the convent in search of her beloved. Four year later, she met Benedict who was searching for his “lost rib, tossed across oceans.” They were married in October 2017. In preparation for their first child, Amanda searched for a doula who shared her spiritual and moral outlook on pregnancy, birth and the unborn. She found a doula (whom she loves) through word of mouth and realized the need for Christian leadership in birth preparation and the labor room. She also developed a passion for a whole-person centered, evidence-based birth experience, one that engages the spiritual faculties through prayer. After a time of financial preparation, discernment and training, she made the leap to begin her journey as a doula and birth coach. Amanda looks forward to working with clients who desire to incorporate Christian spirituality into their birth experience. Using both traditional and modern modes of prayer, as well as modern doula techniques, Amanda will help the laboring woman to approach labor with interior strength, confidence and love.
