What families are saying

I had an amazing birth experience at the hospital with Anna. She helped me so much throughout my pregnancy till postpartum, her knowledge and passion are priceless. I watched documentaries and read books she recommended and they were so helpful in my whole journey. I was looking for the most natural birth without interventions at the hospital and I believe I could achieve it in many ways because of her. She helped with contraction pain by massaging my lower back constantly, showing me how to breath and relax….it was sooooo helpful i can't even describe it in words. I truly think I couldn’t get anyone better, her energy as a human being is very positive and sweet her passion to what she does radiates and motivates. THANK YOU ANNA for being my doula from pregnancy to postpartum :) M.M.
Anna was amazing, and I would recommend her to anyone. I called her the day I was due to deliver, having decided at the last minute that I wanted a Doula. She set up a meeting right away, and was calm, direct, helpful, and made me feel two things at once: that I was totally in control, and that I was in great hands with someone with both compassion, wisdom, and openness. She came with me to the hospital before the birth to meet the practice, and was there throughout the birth when I needed her. She helped me switch hospitals last minute, and then ask the right questions when I was there. I had wanted a natural birth, but after being two weeks late, I decided to induce; when the induction didn't work after another two days, I decided to have a C section. Anna was there for the hard decisions, really helped me think them through, and made me feel good afterwards, instead of disappointed that the natural birth I had hoped for didn't work. When I asked her about things she wasn't sure, she immediately followed up with resources and ideas. I really can't say enough good things. You will be lucky to have her! Z.T.
Christine was a calming voice in the birthing room, and an advocate for me when things got hard. Postpartum she has continued to be a support person as questions have arisen.
