Hi, I’m Amber! I’m a trained and credentialed postpartum doula, certified through Childbirth Professionals International, and deeply committed to supporting families in the early days after birth. My passion for newborns and new motherhood began with the birth of my first child in 2006 while living as an expat in Salvador, Brazil. and it grew with the births of my second in Berkeley in 2009 and my third in 2011. That experience, followed by the births of my second child in Berkeley in 2009 and my third in 2011, inspired me to build a career centered on caring for families as they welcome new life.

In 2014, I began pursuing a BSN with the goal of becoming a labor and delivery and postpartum nurse. During my studies, I discovered the vital role doulas play in supporting families and realized it was the perfect fit for me. While I value the science behind nursing, I’m most drawn to the personal connection, steady presence, and hands-on support that define doula care.

My approach is gentle, respectful, and family-centered. I offer evidence-based guidance alongside emotional support, practical newborn care, and steady reassurance to help create a calm, confident transition home. I honor your feeding choices, parenting style, and values, and I am fully invested in your family’s well-being and growth.

As a mother of three teenagers, I bring both professional training and lived experience to my work. Parenting has shaped my understanding of family life and allows me to show up with empathy, perspective, and genuine care for each family I support.

I speak fluent Portuguese and proudly support LGBTQ+ families. I believe every family deserves compassionate, nonjudgmental care, and I would be honored to be part of your journey.

Amber was a complete godsend for my husband and me in the first few weeks after my baby’s birth. From the very first visit, she brought such a calm, collected, accommodating energy that was so welcome in our household, that contrasted greatly with the utter chaos of taking care of a newborn and trying to recuperate my body after labor. Amber was super prompt showing up to our house each night - and each visit was a huge wave of relief that she was here. In particular she allowed my husband to take a break and sleep through the night (I still needed to wake up to pump periodically through the night). Amber helped with feeding, changing, burping, baby laundry, washing pump parts, etc., and taught us so many tips and tricks on feeding our baby that we now use daily. I could tell our little baby was more calm and cooperative when she was here. Additionally I peppered Amber with so many random questions each night about our baby - she was very patient to answer everything and was incredibly personable as well.

It has been a pleasure getting to know Amber over the last few weeks. We are so immensely grateful for her support as our night doula! I would not hesitate to hire her as a doula again!

Amber Pirker was a wonderful postpartum overnight doula. She was experienced, knowledgeable, respectful, professional, and very engaged with my baby. she seemed very comfortable taking over care right away and I appreciated that she wore a face mask during her entire shift since she worked with other families simultaneously and wanted to prevent spreading germs. Amber was accessible to me via phone and text message in between shifts when I had questions about my baby's routine (e.g., sharing her knowledge about sleep training). I would highly recommend Amber as a doula!

I couldn't imagine surviving my postpartum months without Amber. She was professional, kind, and most importantly, extremely calm and gentle around my babies and was always very responsive to them at night. My babies were also reflux babies, so she helped me navigate the stressful part of feeding them at night—she gave me tips and tricks. And most importantly, she helped me with sleep training them.

We highly recommend Amber's night doula services. We learned so much from Amber to support our daughters sleeping and feeding schedule as well as trouble shooting if our daughter was upset/fussy. Our daughter loves Amber and is always so calm and happy when Amber picks her up. Amber has always been professional arriving on time, flexible with scheduling dates, and letting us know how our baby did overnight. She even went above and beyond to arrange coverage when our daughter came two weeks early and she wasn't available yet. We're so grateful to be well rested parents to better care for our daughter during the day thanks to Amber. If you're considering Ambers services, we recommend booking ASAP since she books so far in advance.

She was always on time, had great advice, and was so sweet that on her last day with us she left us a flower and card for best wishes with our new family member. We always looked forward to “An Amber night” in our first weeks postpartum. She was great with our baby, and she offered great sleep advice. Thanks, Amber!

"Amber was amazing!" 

- Andrea a.

As second time parents and as someone who has a chronic illness, sleep and rest was a priority for our second one. Amber was very easy to talk to and put us at ease with her years of experience and made handing over a newborn for overnight care easier. Amber recognizes that every family is different with varying complexities and provided us a variety of strategies based on her experience. She has been a great addition to our family for the first 8 weeks of our daughters life and any family would be lucky to have her.
