Consultations
Expectant parents, new parents, friends and family of expectant parents, doulas… I would love to help you consider some aspect of your role or your process that doesn’t easily fit into the boxes and relationships you already have for processing. Reach out through my contact page with your inquiry and I will send you a scheduling link!
Birth Doula Support
I accompany expectant families through preparations for birth, birth itself and the early postpartum period. This has been the heart of my work for 10 years.
Postpartum Coaching
Early parenthood is transformative. In postpartum coaching, I combine information and guidance from my experience as a postpartum doula and educator with tools for personal growth, emotional regulation and identifying opportunities for change. It’s woven together by my reverence for the experience of parenting, the internal and external revolutions that collaborate to make it so incredibly challenging and rewarding.
“Thank you, thank you for everything; you are making our experience wholesome and empowering.”
“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.”
