“I can’t imagine going through labor without Anna by my side. Anna was so calm, reassuring and available for me during the entire labor. She worked so well with my husband and the hospital staff and she was able to support me in the birth that I wanted and the birth was such a special experience. Anna has a ton of knowledge but she also has intuition and a great presence. I highly recommend Anna!! ”
“We reached out to Anna for support with our first baby, and she exceeded every expectation. Meeting her over zoom for our consult put us immediately at ease as she explained her thoughtful process, and the in-person meetings deepened our mutual understanding and trust in her.
Through our 12+ hour unmedicated hospital birth, Anna provided unwavering physical support—modeling breath, suggesting positions, and providing soothing touch and counter pressure while maintaining incredible energy and focus. Later, we learned that she did this after having been up from early morning to late at night supporting another family through their birth the day before.
What set Anna apart for us was her ability to help us discover what we wanted without imposing her own opinions. A skilled thought partner, she asked just the right questions, helping us draw from our values and prior experiences. She also masterfully translated between medical providers and us, advocating for our preferences while helping us stay flexible within the hospital system when that mattered most for our goals. When our journey took an unexpected turn with NICU time, Anna helped us process and heal from the scariest moments with compassion.
Anna integrates seamlessly with medical teams while keeping our needs at the center. She embodies therapist, coach, guide, and mother all in one. From the moment we met her, we felt incredibly soothed by her warmth, perceptiveness, and wisdom.
Any family would be extraordinarily fortunate to have Anna’s support.”

“From the very first meeting until the postpartum visits, Anna was a wonderful support and resource to our family. Her calm demeanour coupled with the wealth of information about preparing for labor, possible pain, and birth were key in helping to bring our daughter into this world. Anna demonstrated a genuine interest in getting to know who we are and what type of experience we wanted to cultivate. Anna was also flexible when the time came to change our labor and birth wishes. She kept her promise to remain supportive no matter what happened. I recommend those looking for a wonderful doula to consider Anna. ”
