About me

Hi, I’m Hannah — a doula with a heart for women and a passion for presence. My journey into birth work began in 2022, rooted in deep research, prayer, and a growing conviction that every woman deserves to feel heard, supported, and empowered during birth. With a background in English from the University of Kentucky, I’ve always been drawn to storytelling and the power of listening — both of which now shape how I support families in one of the most vulnerable seasons of their lives. I’ve always been empathetic by nature, and stepping into the role of a doula felt like a natural extension of who I am. I believe birth is not only a physical event but an emotional and spiritual one too, and I’m here to walk alongside women and their partners—helping them feel grounded, informed, and confident every step of the way. Whether you’re planning a hospital birth, home birth, or something in between, I’m honored to support your choices and hold space for your unique experience. I believe “life isn’t meant to be a sprint but a pilgrimage” - being a doula is one of my pilgrimage stops...

Hannah empowered us through education. She was always prepared and handled complex situations and emotions with compassion and strength. She shared in our prenatal excitement, provided an encouraging and empathetic presence during the exhaustion of a long labor, and held my hand gently through processing tough post-partum emotions. She helped me to reframe my experience in ways that reduced self-criticism and increased gratitude. I truly believe that her guidance and support contributed to my daughter's and my good health and positive outcomes in labor and delivery because she provided such well-researched information and the space to make informed decisions. I consider myself to be well-researched and educated about childbirth, and she still offered new and helpful insights to me every time we spoke! As a doula, Hannah is rock-solid in her knowledge, faith, communication skills, and ability to provide emotional support. Her approach is holistic and comprehensive- I believe that if my labor went completely differently, she would have been just as well-equipped and unflappable. I'm so happy that we got to be a part of Hannah's early career as a doula, and I highly recommend her services. Thanks again, Hannah! My husband and I will be forever grateful for your help in bringing our daughter into the world.

I’m so grateful for my experience with her. She brought a calm confidence to my birth that made me feel supported, seen, and safe every step of the way. Couldn’t imagine doing it without her.
