Every birth is unique, and having the right support can make all the difference. As a Birth Doula in training, I provide continuous, compassionate guidance from pregnancy and throughout labor and delivery; helping you feel confident, informed, and empowered. My goal is to support your choices, your pace, and your comfort, whether your birth is at home or in a hospital, with an epidural or unmedicated, C-section or VBAC. I’m here to advocate for you, offer physical and emotional support, and ensure you feel seen, supported, and celebrated every step of the way. I offer prenatal support, birth support and postpartum support with specialised care in Lactation.

Hanna was my doula for the birth of my second child and I can’t say enough good things about her. She took the time to listen to my history, my goals, anxieties/worries, as well as my expectations of her as my doula. During our meetings, she always provided lots of helpful information regarding exercises that can help my discomforts during pregnancy, meditation, labor positions, ways my husband can help me throughout pregnancy as well as during contractions, etc. All of this helped me prepare mentally, physically and emotionally for the big day. Most importantly, her calm and grounding presence and the emotional support she provided during labor was so helpful in keeping me and my husband stay focused and motivated while feeling safe and supported. Thanks to Hanna, I had a very positive birth experience and I was able to give birth to a healthy baby girl! She continues to follow up with me regarding breastfeeding which is helpful. Hanna truly cares about her clients I would without a doubt recommend her to anyone looking for a doula!

I have never hired a doula before, but with this 4th baby and having complicated past births, I knew I needed support with this pregnancy. Thank gd and with Hanna's help, this birth was truly a great and safe experience. As an anxious person, Hanna's approach provided the clarity I need throughout pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. She took care that we looked to my past experiences to prevent complications with this birth. Hanna also took several pictures throughout labor and delivery which I've never had before and cherish today! She has been available round the clock for lactation support and 100% would not be nursing my baby still if it weren't for her guidance!
