I hired Ann somewhat last minute as plans changed with my previous Doula. Ann came to the rescue and was ready to work with me ASAP! She was kind, empathetic, excited, open and affordable. Ann regularly checked in with me prior to my delivery to ensure I was feeling good and had all the support I needed and wanted. At my delivery, she was calm, encouraging, and provided me with the tools I needed to get through my intense contractions. She was also so helpful in providing my mom and family with support during my delivery. Postpartum, I struggled with baby blues and Ann was there to support me. She showed up at my door with a very thoughtful gift and gave me a Reiki session to release some of the extra energy in my body. I was able to sleep right after. I can’t say enough good things about Ann! She is an amazing Doula and support person! ♥?

We were fortunate to have Ann as our "tele"Dula during my pregnancy. Our situation was unique as Ann and I live states away from one another. Ann and I crossed paths as co-workers years ago. Ann moved and I found new employment.  When I learned I was pregnant I knew I needed to reach out to Ann in hopes she'd provide me with long distance Dula support. Ann gladly offered us her service without hesitation. 

Ann provided prenatal sessions via video call, allowing us to ask questions and helped us better understand the process.  She made us feel at ease through a very uncertain/scary time. Ann is so supportive, welcoming, gentle and kind.

Ann always made herself available day and night to answer questions. When she was unsure of an answer to a question she would always get us the answer.

Ann performed long distance reiki healing, which I was skeptical of but whole heartedly believe helped relieve/ heal me through pregnancy pains.

During the delivery Ann made herself available via phone and was very attentive to our needs. She provided indivudualized emotional support and due to distance, effectively guided my partner through ways to support me physically during labor.

She is well versed in pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum. We could not imagine going through this experience without Ann. She is still a part of our journey almost 1 year later. I would 10/10 recommend Ann to anyone searching for a doula.

Due to interesting circumstances, I didn't meet Ann until we were already at the hospital. Though I only got to spend 14 hours with her before baby was born, I felt like I had known her much longer. She's very welcoming and it's easy to feel comfortable around her. I was impressed by her "bag of tricks." Anytime I needed something or was just in the middle of laboring, Ann would reach into her bag and pull out exactly what was needed. What I loved best was her postpartum visit and the card she gave us with a timeline of my labor and delivery. It was wonderful seeing that timeline, especially since you're so tired and can't always remember when things happened! If my husband and I have another baby, Ann will be my first call!

Ann has the BEST personality for being a birth doula. I am so so grateful to have found her. This was my second birth, I had a doula with my first child when we lived in another state, and while I loved that doula as well, Ann was a breath of fresh air for me and my husband. Ann was so supportive and knowledgeable and most importantly: not judgemental. Ann had great tricks and tools to support me and the BEST bedside manner. I felt so comfortable with Ann, like I had known her forever. And thanks you Ann I was so relaxed and at ease leading up to and during labor and even pushing little boy out. The hospital staffed loved her too! Do yourself a favor and hire Ann as your birth Doula, you won't regret it! I only wish she were also my mother in law!

I was lucky enough to have Ann as my doula during the pregnancy and delivery of my son. As a first time Mom, I was feeling nervous and overwhelmed with the thought of birth. Ann walked me through the process, discussed the choices I had, and put my mind at ease knowing that she was going to be there to support me. During my labor, Ann was so gentle and a calming force when I needed it most. She answered questions when I asked, advocated for me to the hospital staff, and encouraged my partner to support me in helpful ways. She was an incredible part of my birth story and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

We could not imagine going through this experience without Ann!! Ann always gave us the information to make informed decisions and she always supported us throughout. Our prenatal sessions with Ann set the stage for a great relationship. We learned a lot and got a chance to bond that made the experience so much easier. During the delivery Ann was attentive, caring and supportive. She is by far the best.  Highest recommendation.

We had the pleasure of working with Ann for our first child. She did a couple consultations prior to delivery and did a great job answering any questions we had. One thing I really liked is that if our questions bordered on medical questions, she did a good job of deferring to the medical professionals where it made sense, helping to reduce any conflicting information. At no point did we ever feel like she was pressuring or trying to influence any of our decisions, she was there to help us through OUR experience - she was there for us and whatever we needed.

Once in labor she was very accommodating and quick reacting to our fluid situation. She really did a good job listening and adapting to our needs and wants.  She was extremely supportive and had great advice to help get us through the birthing experience. I would highly recommend Ann for anyone looking for a great doula experience.
