Anna Siwakoti (she/her) is a holistic reproductive practitioner and prenatal educator. Her journey to become a holistic reproductive practitioner began before she was even born. Anna’s parents struggled for many years with infertility and after many years of trying to conceive and multiple miscarriages they conceived. “Growing up, I saw the pain infertility left on my parents. I saw the stress and the scars it left on them. I always knew I wanted a career that had to do with birth and healing but I was never quite sure how that would look.” Having a background in health education, she has always been a strong supporter of informed choices. She strives to be able to help her clients learn in an unbiased and judgement free environment. She hope to become a safe space, a person you can confide in, ask your questions and feel support regardless of what you would like to say or do. “I look forward to supporting you make the right choices for you and your family. The only choice I will advocate you make is an informed one, one you can live with.” Anna loves to approach situations considering all aspects of the being: mind, body and spirit. Anna looks forward to joining you on your journey.
