I couldn’t recommend Anya enough. I have loved working with her and credit a lot of the success in my labor and birth to her. She is so knowledgeable, kind, and supportive. She’s open minded and would never be judgmental in the decisions you make. She’s there to help discuss all the options with you during pregnancy as well as during your labor and birth. My partner and I used her as sounding board while we were creating my birth plan and during labor. After labor, she’s been monumental in my recovery ensuring my partner and I have the support we need as well as providing us with so many tips and tricks for our baby.

Anya was incredible!! 

From our prenatal meet ups to my birth and then postpartum, Anya was right there!!

During prenatals Anya answered every single question my husband and I had! She made sure we knew what to expect and hos she would help throughout. 
My birth, which was very painful, atypical, and ended in an emergency caesarean. Anya was right there, giving me advice, offering support, counter pressure, and just being a guide and secondary person during a really scary time. She stayed through the night and checked in on not only me but my husband multiple times throughout the next day and following days. We are eternally grateful for Anya and will use her for any other pregnancies and births we decide to have.

Anya was our doula for our second birth. She paid careful attention during our prenatal visit and recalled my preferences during labor. She was also passionate and knowledgeable about helping me and my husband prepare our firstborn, almost 3 years old, for the arrival of his new brother. I had a fast labor, and she provided a calm presence and physical support, for both my husband and me. When I didn't need physical support, she found opportunities to take photos of special moments during labor and birth, which I treasure. She took notes with time stamps, which I appreciate, as the timeline can get fuzzy really fast in the postpartum period! She made sure to give us space during our postpartum visit to process, ask questions, and reflect on how the transition went with our firstborn. We are so glad we had Anya on our birth team!
