I have been a Birth Doula since 2014 and a Fertility Educator since 2016. I am passionate about helping women understand their bodies better from preconception through postpartum. I was inspired by my own experiences throughout my 4 pregnancies and have worked with clients from all backgrounds and delivery scenarios including, but not limited to: hospital, birth center, home birth, c-sections, VBACs, medicated, Un-medicated, multiples, high-risk, micro-preemies, and adoption (birth and/or adoptive parent support). As a Doula, my goal is to help my clients experience the birth of their dreams. My training is body-centric and focused on optimizing fetal positioning for a more comfortable pregnancy, smoother delivery, and better postpartum recovery. I am hands on and often provide comforting touch and release work. As a Fertility Educator I support clients who want to better understand their menstrual cycle to either avoid or achieve pregnancy through private, virtual classes.

Hey, I'm Annie! I am a proud single mother to my beautiful son and extremely passionate Pre & Postnatal Corrective Exercise Specialist and soon to be Diastasis and Core Consultant. My passion for helping other moms and birthing people grew when I became pregnant at a challenging time in my life - 21 years old and in the middle of my Bachelor’s degree. It was the most uncertain, scary, and difficult time of my life yet I found a way to fully embrace it. As I began my education in the field of pre and postnatal wellness, I realized that there is a significant need which is simply that, WE NEED TO TAKE BETTER CARE OF THE WELL-BEING OF THOSE WHO ARE BIRTHING OUR NEXT GENERATIONS - our mothers and birthing people need, and deserve more. ⁣More resources, more education, more intentional whole-person care. My mission is to guide and educate others in how to cultivate vibrant birthing years in their own unique journey. ⁣ Thank you for joining in and I am SOO excited to begin this journey alongside you. 💛✨

As an orthopedic and pelvic PT, yoga therapist and pilates instructor, I work with a variety of people who are seeking to better understand their bodies and optimize health. Often people seek my services when they are experiencing distressing symptoms, but I also work with people who want to minimize the risk of symptoms. Pregnancy can be an exceptional time to listen to your body's signals and learn from it's wisdom. We know that those who carry children to term are at a higher risk for developing pelvic floor and core dysfunction, it is a natural accommodation that the maternal body makes to accommodate growing life! I am passionate about working with this population to provide the support they need to feel resilient, strong, capable so that they can recover from the amazing physical and emotional feat of bringing a new life into the world. We are highly adaptive, and with the right support and resources, healing and transformation is possible. By honoring the divine feminine and supporting the body's natural ability to heal itself, you can embrace pregnancy and post-partum (or very postpartum!) with a sense of confidence and connectedness to their inner strength.

As a doula, I believe birth is not just a physical event — it is emotional, spiritual, and transformative.

Hello, and welcome!

After a beautiful and empowering first birth, although it didn't go according to my original vision, a fire was lit to come alongside families in their own birth journeys. As a doula, I will support you whether you choose a home birth, a planned cesarean, or anything in between. My goal is that you know your options, are supported in them, and are surrounded by feelings of safety and love. I have worked in a variety of capacities before arriving in the birth world. I studied Exercise Science in college, where I learned the amazing things our bodies are capable of when we treat them properly or move them in certain ways. I've worked as an exercise physiologist in cardiac rehab, and as a wellness coach in a hospital setting. I was in full-time ministry, working with college students and teenagers. In that capacity, I learned to meet people where they're at, to comfort and to “hold space” for someone. These experiences brought me to a new understanding of wholeness - body, mind and spirit. This set me up perfectly to team up alongside women in their birth journeys - one of the most life-changing events we can experience!

Hi! I’m Jodie. I’m a birth and postpartum doula, and a NICU-informed doula. I’m a certified perinatal meditation guide, sound healer, and prenatal yoga teacher, so I really love bringing calm, practical tools into the birth space. I teach a prenatal birth prep course and specialize in helping families use evidence-based coping tools, breathwork, and mindfulness to reduce stress and anxiety throughout pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. I’ve experienced inductions, epidurals, unmedicated labor, cesareans, and a NICU stay, between my births and my past clients, so I understand how different every journey can be. My husband and I have two daughters. They’re 6 and 1. Outside of doula work, I enjoy practicing music, learning Korean, crocheting, and unwinding with good movies, books, and music.
