About me

I became a birth doula because I am in awe of the strength and wisdom of women. It is an honor to help you tune into the wisdom of your body, and to support your family as they learn how to support you. I help you find your breath when things get big. I remind your partner how to hold you. I help create a quiet, womb-like space—dim lights, soft sounds, warm water, and anything else that helps you feel safe, grounded, and undisturbed. I attend home births, birth centers, and hospital births. Wherever you feel safe is the right place to have your baby. My job is to help regulate the space, so that you can surrender. I offer peace of mind, solid education, and steady presence so you can meet this experience with courage. My care is personalized and client-led. I follow your rhythm. My approach is grounded in the belief that women already have everything they need within them to safely and instinctively bring their babies into the world. Whether this is your first baby or your sixth, your birth matters. Each one is a new journey, a new chance to grow and expand and meet yourself in a whole new way.

Packages
Birth Doula
2 prenatal meetings (each ~2 hours) to deeply explore your birth hopes, preferences, possible interventions, partner role, comfort measures, and develop a written birth plan. Unlimited phone/text/email support, plus one optional virtual meeting in late pregnancy (e.g., 36–37 weeks) for final preparation. On-call status beginning at ~36 weeks. Though, I am on-call as soon as you are in labor, so if you go into labor early, I'll still be there for you! Continuous in-person support during labor and birth (from active labor through ~2 hours postpartum). One postpartum visit (1-2 hours) within the first 5–14 days after birth, to support feeding, newborn routines, parental adjustment, resources/referrals as needed, and to hear your birth story from your perspective and support you in processing your experience.

Hannah is a fantastic doula! She has so much information to share in the prenatal appointments that made me feel that much more prepared. She was present during my long labor - day and night - and offered so much support to me and my husband during the process. And her helping hand during my postpartum period was much appreciated as well. I'm so glad she was a part of my birth experience and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, caring, and dutiful doula.
