Service introduction

No pregnancy, birth and postnatal journey is the same because every human born is unique. I provide a lot of support services that can be utilized in addition to Birth Prep, Breastfeeding, and Newborn Care. Reach out and I will be happy to set up a consultation so we can develop goals and personalized care that meets them.

Anne was my doula for both of my kids and I credit her to a smooth pregnancy and delivery. Anne was available for all my questions, including when I got Covid while pregnant, and offered my guidance and even a recommendation that totally “cured” my symptoms (!). She also guided my husband and I in education on pregnancy, birth and parenting, provided helpful resources and advocated for us. Both my children were “sunny side up” during labor which made delivery challenging. I swear that if it wasn’t for her, I’d have had to have a c-section which I was hoping wouldn’t happen. Considering how difficult it was to push my kids out, if Anne wasn’t there to offer positioning tips, relaxation tips, or breathing tips, I really don’t believe I would have been able to push my babies out. I am so grateful to have met Anne and had her part of these incredible milestones!
