Amanda van Zee (USA)

Hello I’m Amanda

I’ve been where you are… striving towards that something that’s exciting but it’s also a little bit scary - just not sure where to start? Well, I’ll tell you from personal experience, that you’re in the right place to take that first step forward. Doula work around the world can look different from country to country, but what remains the constant, is the purpose, the passion, and community that resonates within all ibirthprofessionals doulas.

Sharing these common values, I have had the honor to be able to support many families in both Asia and America, and mentoring a growing count of fellow doula sisters as they embark on their own journey. It is the supportive and nurturing foundation that ensures that doulas like you, are going to be successful and thrive as an international birth professionalI’m so excited for you and your doula journey to begin!

Best,

Amanda van Zee
