“In an age of fear-based parenting advice, Amy gave me the calm, uncluttered, and sensible tools I needed to have confidence in my first year of motherhood. What I found most helpful was how, on each topic, she blended evidence-based research from the fields of medicine and child development with her own authentic experience as a mother of 5. Each time I finished a session with Amy, I felt empowered, loved, and more comfortable in my own journey in raising my children. Her advice is invaluable and it has blessed me and my family!”

"Amy is someone I deeply admire. As an educator, she is knowledgeable and relatable, providing parents with the information they need AND practical ways to apply it. Her strong educational background paired with her personal experience raising five unique and beautiful children make her perspective incredibly valuable. Learning from her made me feel prepared, capable and lucky!"

"As a Pediatric Registered Nurse, Amy is a wealth of knowledge around parenting, health and education for all ages. Her knowledge base and experience are phenomenal! Even more amazing is that she is a Mama of five! Furthermore, she is one of the most empathetic, patient and kind teachers and an advocate for all Mamas."

"Amy is a parenting inspiration and I truly don’t know how she manages to balance 5 kids and all of her other obligations, but she does it with a positive attitude and oodles of patience and love. She is a wonderful role model and her parenting tips are always spot on and so creative."

"I could not sing Amy Stewart’s praises enough, both with respect to her talent and knowledge as a parenting education professional and her character as a person. Being a new, first-time mom, I needed and wanted all the help and knowledge that I could get. Without having my parents or many friends in town, she quickly became my key resource on all things parenting: sleeping, safety, health and wellness, discipline, reading/literacy, and potty training, to name a few. I went from being unsure and insecure in my new role as a mom, to feeling like I had a strong grasp on what I was doing. Amy is a wealth of information."

"I feel so fortunate to have connected with and begun learning from Amy only weeks after having my younger daughter. At that time, I had two babies, one who was adopted and had just turned eight months old, and a newborn who was the result of a surprise pregnancy. I was very overwhelmed having quickly gone from someone who wanted desperately to be a mother, to having two babies without much knowledge of how to care for them and help them grow. I enrolled in a parenting class that Amy was teaching and she helped me navigate this new adventure and helped me find comfort in being a mom. She shared guidance on sleep, routines, discipline, play, among many others, from the lens of a medical professional, but also taught us tricks and tips that worked for her with one or more of her children. I loved that we shared the bond of building our family through adoption, and we could commiserate on the unique circumstances that come up for adoptees and families that may have been formed in a different way. I was so excited to hear that Amy's guidance will now be available nationwide through Hope in Adoption! Now, as an adoption professional that helps families grow through domestic adoption through my business Purl Adoption Advisory, I will be recommending Amy's services and guidance to all of my Purl families!"
