I loved having Annie as my doula! As a first time mom, I had a lot of questions regarding my health and how to prepare for labor and delivery. Annie took her time to meet with me multiple times, and would make herself available to me for phone calls for random questions I had. She really gave me peace of mind having someone to talk to that is experienced in pregnancy and birth. I also had gestational diabetes and lots of pelvic pain during my pregnancy, and Annie's knowledge in physical training helped me so much to know what exercises to do for both conditions. She met with my husband and I to prepare us for labor, and coach him on what he could do to alleviate my pain. During labor and delivery she was readily available and now I have a beautiful healthy baby girl!

We searched for a doula for quite a while, and we were so lucky to finally find Annie! From our very first conversation, I had a feeling that she was the right person for us. Her experience, both as a mother and as a doula, immediately made me feel confident and supported.
Annie is incredibly proactive, caring, and knowledgeable. The in-person prenatal visits were especially helpful because they gave us the opportunity to get to know her and made me feel completely comfortable having her by my side during labor.
As a first-time mom, I honestly didn’t know what to expect from labor, but everything went as smoothly as we could have hoped for. The techniques Annie taught us beforehand, along with her support throughout labor, really helped me manage the pain and work through each stage of the process.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Annie and are so grateful that she was part of such an important and special experience for our family. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a supportive, experienced, and compassionate doula!

It can be so difficult to find a good doula these days, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found Annie. We were already 34 weeks into my wife’s pregnancy when we started working with her. We wanted someone who had firsthand experience with labor and was a mother herself, and Annie was exactly the person we needed.
She is extremely knowledgeable and truly excellent at what she does. She is a great listener and always delivers information in a clear, professional, and easy-to-understand way. She was incredibly supportive, friendly, and reassuring throughout the entire process. Whenever we needed her, she was there for us.
Thanks to Annie’s support and guidance, we felt safe and confident throughout the pregnancy, and the labor went as smoothly as it could have. Her presence made such a positive difference in our experience.
We would highly recommend Annie to anyone looking for a doula. She is truly wonderful at what she does, and we are so grateful to have had her by our side!

Annie is so great, thoughtful and resourceful! She is knowledgeable in her field and any question I had that she didn't have the answer to, she was willing to look into it! When it came time to deliver, she remained calm and helped me focus on my breathing. We got to the hospital when I was already 9 centimeters. Annie talked through the things the doctors were telling me and my husband. I could feel confident after that. Now that baby is home, Annie has kept up with us, always checking in, and willing to come visit. I also appreciate her personal training background. Once I'm cleared for exercise, I'm looking forward to Annie's assistance into getting back in shape. Thank you Annie for all that you are!

Annie was helpful, willing, and very attentive to my wife’s needs during her pregnancy and birth. She is knowledgeable and respectful. Annie’s experience in personal training gives my wife access to specialized advice and support during her recovery which is extremely beneficial. Highly recommend Annie for anyone looking for a Doula.

My wife and I had a very positive experience with Annie. She was very knowledgeable and supportive of our needs, and was there for us before, during, and long after delivery. She made us feel so special like we were a close family friend. She understood our needs and was able to properly advocate for them during the whole process. We would definitely recommend her to anyone, and would certainly harness her wisdom and services if we are ever blessed with another child.

Annie was my doula for the birth of my son in December 2024. This was my first baby so I was nervous about what birth would be like and if I could handle it since I wanted to go all natural. The hospital referred us to a list of doulas and after interviewing several, we met Annie. After we hung up the phone, my husband and I immediately said, "This is the one!"
Leading up to the delivery day we met with her to discuss our birth plans and what we hoped for. It was a very positive and helpful meeting. She brought up things I wouldn't have thought to consider.
When I went into labor, she and my husband were texting and she made her way quickly when we said we were ready for the extra support. She had different tools - tens unit, pressure holds, belly sling, diffuser/oils, and a lot more that I can't recall. Even more than the physical things she brought to support me, her presence was an incredible blessing. She is very good at adapting to the mood of the room. I wanted a quiet, dark environment and her calm, reassuring presence was exactly what I needed. She would suggest trying something new when she could tell I was starting to have a hard time getting through contractions, but would also give me space when I didn't want anyone near me or touching me. As I'd requested during our planning session, she and my husband worked together to support me throughout labor and they would quietly check in with each other about how I was doing and if they thought it was time to try something else. I wanted my husband to be my primary support person and Annie did a great job of coaching him and having a balance between supporting me and giving my husband and I space when I wanted it. They made a great team for me! Lastly, she has endurance! It was a long labor and she was with us for over 10 hours of it. She kept up her quiet, calm energy throughout and continued to support me physically too (like with holding my belly up in the sling or doing pressure squeezes on my forehead) for hours. That must have been tiring but she never gave any indication that it was. I am so grateful for her involvement in the birth of our son.
I truly could not have done it without the support of Annie - she was amazing! I absolutely want her there for the birth of our future babies and would recommend her to anyone!

Annie is the best! I was scheduled for a vaginal delivery and was looking for a knowledgeable doula that could provide support and guidance. This was my first delivery and I was very scared. Annie helped to appease my concerns and was very professional. We met to discuss my goals. She was very attentive and would consistently check-in on me before the delivery. She was readibly available when I would message her. On the day of the delivery, she stayed by my side. No complaints and always willing to help. She maintained a good balance of still letting my partner feel that he could support me. She was couteous to the medical staff and asked insighful questions. Although my delivery ended up in a C-section, I am glad that we hired her. I would hands down recommend her to anyone, especialy if this is your first birthing experience.

Very sweet woman, attentive, and genuinely cares about you. I’ll be choosing her for all my future pregnancies. If you’re high risk like myself, she’s knowledgeable about preeclampsia and if she doesn’t know something best believe she will do her research to get an understanding and to better help you. She’s spiritual so if you’re a spiritual person, she’s your match!

I am so thankful Annie was my doula for my first birth! She was always quick to respond to my texts and doubts during my pregnancy. I read so many books and took classes but was not prepared for how my labor went down. My labor was painful because my son ended up being slightly transverse and was initially pushing with his head on my pubic bone. I was able to bear the labor pain thanks to Annie's counter pressure and her calm, kind reassurances. Once I was accepted to labor at the birthing center she continued being my biggest cheerleader and assisting with pain reduction as labor continued to intensify. There was never a feeling of needing to rush. Sadly my son did not descend after 7 hours laboring at 7cm dilated so I went to the hospital at the midwife's recommendation. Annie met us there and stayed calm, kind and offered helpful positive perspective to me when I was crying and struggling with accepting a medicalized birth when I had envisioned a water birth. It ended up being a c section. She was with us for what may have been 24 hours through an incredibly difficult labor and delivery and never faltered when it came to emotionally and physically supporting me. I am so grateful she was there and would highly recommend her services to any expecting mom.
