Welcome, I am so glad you are here!

My name is Amber Sanchez and I am so glad you are here! I have the honor of serving as a Birth Doula throughout most of East Texas as well as some parts of the DFW Metroplex. Birth is something I am very passionate about and my goal is to make sure moms are given the support, education, and confidence they deserve for that miraculous moment they have always dreamt of. Aromatherapy is also something I have a great passion for and a desire to spread awareness to others on how you too can incorporate it into your everyday lives. I am a Certified Aromatherapist and soon will be one of the few Registered Aromatherapists in the state of Texas. If I can be of service to you and your family I would love to hear from you!

What is a Doula?

The original word doula comes from the ancient Greek meaning "to serve".
A doula is a professional that is trained in childbirth who provides emotional, physical, and informational support to a mother throughout her pregnancy & labor. Their main purpose is to help women have a safe, memorable, and empowering birthing experience.
A doula does not give medical advice nor perform tasks such as blood pressure, listening to fetal heart tones or vaginal exams, make decisions for or on your behalf, nor promise a pain free labor or birth. 
Doulas are not a replacement for your support partner, family, or provider, but an addition of skills, training, and experiences that helps build a confident team for birth. I believe that all women deserve an unbiased and unconditional support system during this time in their life.
If you are seeking a doula or have any questions in regards to what a doula can do for you, you've come to the right place! I would love to help you achieve your goals and dreams as being part of your birthing team! Click here for more information about my Doula Services.

What is Aromatherapy?

In brief, holistic aromatherapy is the practice of using volatile plant oils, particularly essential oils, for physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. Holistic aromatherapy does not include the use of fragrance oils or other synthetic products.
The history of aromatherapy and the exploration of its origins is quite fascinating, in my opinion. Although the term aromatherapy was not used until the 20th Century, the use of aromatic botanicals and aromatic oils date back thousands of years; even in biblical times: 
"On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh." Matthew 2:11
In the U.S. there are no laws that govern the use of the term aromatherapy, so any manufacturer, even those that include synthetic ingredients and adulterate the product itself, can slap the word aromatherapy onto their product labels.
Even though this type of practice has been used for thousands of years, today people tend to confuse it as a fad rather than a way of life. My goal is to educate individuals on how to use oils properly, safely, and adequately because I can promise you that those drug store oils are not what they state they are.
