About the Owner

Hey there!

I'm Amber Bardini (she/her), Certified Full Spectrum Doula, Evidence Based Birth Instructor, and the heart and soul behind Blooming Families. As a mom of three, I've been where you are—navigating the wild ride of parenthood with a mix of excitement, [a TON of] coffee, and the occasional (okay, frequent) Google search.

Why I Do What I Do

Becoming a parent was one of the most transformative (read: challenging) experiences of my life. I remember the sleepless nights, the endless questions, and that constant feeling of "Am I doing this right?" Spoiler: You're doing amazing. But back then, I often felt lost and alone. That's when I knew something had to change in how we support new parents.

I founded Blooming Families to be the change I wished for—a place where every parent and parent-to-be feels empowered, nurtured, and genuinely supported. Think of us as your personal hype squad, here to cheer you on, hand you a snack, and remind you that you've got this.

Our Mission: Empowerment Through Support

At Blooming Families, we believe that every birth and parenting journey is as unique as your favorite coffee order (triple-shot, oat milk latte with a dash of cinnamon, anyone?). We're here to support you in a way that fits your vibe, whether you're aiming for a serene, unmedicated birth, navigating a complicated hospital induction, or seeking guidance on how to soothe a fussy newborn at 3 AM.

We're all about creating a safe, welcoming space for everyone, especially our LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities. Here, you're valued, respected, and embraced for who you are—no exceptions.

Let's Connect

If you're looking for a doula who's equal parts knowledgeable professional and supportive friend (with a dash of sass), you've come to the right place. Let's make your journey into parenthood as smooth and joyful as possible.

Warmly,
