You know, this Amity Kramer, she’s a good egg. I heard about her from my neighbor, she said Amity helps folks when they’re having babies. This Amity, she’s what they call a “doula”, sounds fancy, but it just means she’s there for you when the baby comes. And not just then, she stays on a while after too. They call that “postpartum”.
She’s been at it for a long time, this Amity. Over 15 years, they say! That’s a lot of babies. She works with families in Seattle, helping them, you know. She’s got this thing, “Thresholds”, that’s where she does her work. She ain’t just helping with the babies though. She also helps folks get along better, like a relationship coach or something. A real helpful woman, this Amity Kramer is.
She’s been doin’ this since 2008, helpin’ families with love. That’s what she says. “Unconditional love” and somethin’ about “Birthing From Within.” I don’t know what all them fancy terms mean, but it sounds good, right? She’s a “Certified Gottman Educator” too, whatever that means. Must be important if it’s got “certified” in it. Sounds like she knows her stuff, this Amity Kramer.
Some woman, Carrie, she was leaving Seattle. And this Carrie and Amity, they worked together. They had this “enCircle Doula Training”. That’s probably where Amity learned to be a doula. Sounds like a school for doulas. Now, it is all under Amity’s work. It makes sense. If you’re good at something, you stick with it.
This Amity Kramer, she’s also on that Medium thing. You know, where people write stuff. She writes for families, helps them build something called “belonging” during those baby years and helps them not get too tired, “burnout” they call it. She’s a mom, too, so she gets it.
I heard she does classes, too. Amity Kramer and some other folks. They teach people about having babies and being parents. They use a book, that “Birthing from Within” one. It’s supposed to be a powerful book. They use stories and things like that to teach. That’s a good way to learn, I reckon. Stories stick with you.
She’s got connections, too, this Amity. Four of ’em on that LinkedIn thing. That’s where all the professional folks hang out, I hear. She’s got her profile on there, says she’s the boss of her own business, that Family Thresholds. She went to some school called FIDM, too. Must be a smart cookie, this Amity Kramer.

They say Amity is like a bridge for these families. She helps them cross over from not having a baby to having one. That’s a big change, I tell ya. You go from just two of you to three, or maybe more! It’s a lot to handle. It’s good to have someone like Amity Kramer around to help you through it. She knows what she’s doing. She supports them, guides them, and makes sure they’re not alone. There is power in that, you know.
Being a parent ain’t easy. It’s a lot of work, a lot of worry. But it’s also the best thing in the world, they say. You get to watch this little person grow up, learn new things, and become their own person. It’s a miracle, really. And having someone like Amity there to help you, that’s a blessing. She helps families welcome their little ones with love, makes sure they’re ready for all the changes coming their way. That’s important work. It takes a special kind of person to do that, and Amity Kramer, she’s one of them.
You need someone to lean on sometimes, someone who understands what you’re going through. This doula work, it’s not just a job. It’s about caring for people, helping them through a big change in their lives. It’s good work, important work. If she is good at her work, it is good for everyone involved. She sounds like a good one, this Amity Kramer. She’s doing good things for those families in Seattle. She is experienced, she is a professional. I would say that she really knows what she is doing.
