My husband and I are so glad we found Anna as our doula. Our first planning sessions were extremely helpful for planning and understanding all the different choices we might face. It took 50 hours from starting my induction to delivery and Anna was a fantastic support, guide, and sounding board. She helped us make informed choices about the medical assistance offered. I was very happy with my birth experience and most importantly, having a safe delivery and healthy baby. Her follow up appointments were so helpful as new parents navigating breastfeeding and overall baby care. I highly recommend her services!

Anna was a godsend for our family! She was with us for 2 homebirths (1 during covid times). Her personality is so warm, comforting and nonjudgemental. She is easy to talk to, listens well and can take your mind off the bad moments quickly. Anna has great reccomendations for all sorts of pernatal/postpartum care & comfort. She was always willing to go the extra mile & take initiative. I would consider Anna a friend more so now than just my Doula. We love Anna and will hire her time and time again.
