Doula Support

“I approach my baby’s birth with compassion, confidence, and curiosity.”

~ Your new positive affirmation!

Pregnancy Support

We will plan for the birth experience that you intuitively know is right for you and your partner. We will discuss Plans A, B, and C — recognizing that labor and birth are often unpredictable and no two births are exactly the same. We will talk about current evidenced-based information so you feel comfortable with your decisions, confident in yourself, and prepared for birth. We will process any fears and worries in preparation for a more relaxed pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period.

Labor Support

Comfort measures during labor are often a matter of trial and error. My doula tool kit is full of both physical tools and guided comfort measures including breathing techniques, meditation, visualization, touch (or not!) and energy awareness. During labor, I pay attention to your mindset and energy, the biomechanics of your pelvis, position of baby, and all of the other good stuff so you don’t have to! I will be there to remind you of your chosen birth preferences and will help you self-advocate with care providers. And partners will feel more secure and confident in their ability to support you!

Postpartum Support

You will continue to have my support after baby is born. For those choosing to breast/chest feed, I will help initiate skin to skin contact, the “breast crawl”, and the process of latching during your Golden Hour following baby’s arrival. Once home, I will support your overall emotional and physical wellness in a way that best fits into your unique transition of having a newborn and growing family.

Client Testimonials

"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 to 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!"

Erica, second-time mom
"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."

Adam, first-time dad
"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."

Stephanie, first-time mom
"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!"

Elizabeth, first-time mom
"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."

Christian, first-time dad
