Hi, I’m Becca. As a passionate birth worker, I've dedicated my life to empowering and supporting families through the transformative journey of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Inspired by Ina May Gaskin's profound words, I firmly believe that the birthing experience shapes one's emotions, mind, body, and spirit. My journey began with doula work in 2019, where I've had the privilege of witnessing strong mothers bring forth life. In the sacred space of postpartum, I've supported families through various challenges, from colic to postpartum mental health. In July 2020, my path took a new turn as I completed my Midwifery Assistant training, followed by blindly applying to the National College of Midwifery. Guided by local midwives, I'm on a transformative journey to becoming the best version of myself in the field. Over time, my business has grown, and I now lead an incredible team of passionate doulas. Our village is committed to supporting families without imposing our beliefs.

I’m Anneke Valles, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and a La Leche League Leader with over a decade of experience supporting families in their breastfeeding journeys. I hold a bachelor’s degrees in communication and Spanish, graduating summa cum laude from Andrews University with B.A. in Communication and Spanish. I also earned a master’s degree in Secondary Education from Grand Canyon University, also graduating summa cum laude. My passion for lactation support began with the birth of my child in 2014, when I faced my own challenges adjusting to motherhood and breastfeeding. With the support I received during that time and in the years that followed, I successfully breastfed all three of my children—now ages 6, 8, and 11—and have discovered along the way my deep commitment to helping other families navigate similar experiences. Today, I combine my personal journey, professional training, and compassionate approach to provide evidence-based, empathetic lactation support to parents and caregivers. I have additional training in post-partum mental health, low milk supply, and mastitis.

With years of experience as a midwife and birth professional, I support families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with a holistic, grounded approach that honors both physiology and personal choice. Whether you are planning a home birth, hospital birth, birth center delivery, medicated or unmedicated experience, my role is to help you feel fully prepared — physically, emotionally, and mentally — for the birth you desire. My pregnancy bodywork sessions are designed to support optimal fetal positioning, pelvic balance, and nervous system regulation. When the body is aligned and tension patterns are released, babies can settle into ideal positions and labor often unfolds more smoothly. A regulated nervous system allows you to feel safer, more present, and more empowered — which can significantly impact both birth and postpartum recovery. In addition to hands-on bodywork, I offer comprehensive childbirth education that prepares you for the realities of labor, informed decision-making, partner support, and postpartum recovery. My goal is not to push a specific birth path, but to equip you with knowledge, confidence, and tools so you can navigate your experience feeling supported and in control. I bring both clinical insight and steady presence. I understand the nuances of hospital systems and home birth environments, and I help families advocate for themselves while staying connected to their intuition. Birth is a rite of passage — and preparation matters. When your body is balanced, your nervous system is regulated, and your mind is informed, you enter birth grounded and ready. It is an honor to walk alongside families as they prepare to welcome their babies and step into parenthood with confidence.

My name is Andrea Levesque and I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) with over 10 years of experience working with mamas and babies. A love of all things pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding came from having my two sons. Helping mamas and babies is truly a passion.

It is my honor to help parents reach their infant feeding goals, whatever they may be.
