I believe birth is an amazing miracle designed by God and is a journey that will impact your life forever.
Every woman deserves steady support and care from beginning to end of her birth story!
***
As a Christian birth doula, I support expecting families throughout Cincinnati, Dayton, and areas of Northern Kentucky and East Indiana. My goal, no matter your birth setting or plan, is to help you feel safe, informed, and confident in your choices.
Every birth matters and every heart matters. I’d be honored to support yours!
Labor Support Packages
I offer a variety of in-person birth doula packages designed with different needs in mind. You will receive prenatal support, in-person labor support, and postpartum care.
One-on-One Birth Planning
Overwhelmed by birth and not sure where to start? Bring all your questions and let's create a birth plan one-on-one! I offer either an in-person or virtual meeting.
Why Should I Hire a Doula?
Hot take: You don’t NEED a doula to be able to birth your baby.
Just like you don’t NEED a birth tub, a yoga ball, or even any kind of birth plan. You will end up birthing your baby regardless of what or who you have present. Births with support tools often go smoother for a reason – but you don’t HAVE to have them.
But they are sure nice to have.
Did you know that doulas have been shown to
1. Increase birth satisfaction and
2. Reduce unwanted interventions?
How?
By putting fully informed mamas back in the driver’s seat of their own birth! My goal is that when it’s baby time, you feel confident, know exactly what you want, and feel secure in your support team.
Birth Doula Benefits
Personalized Support
What if you had access to someone who is willing to answer all your questions with evidence based info? Someone who listens to all your concerns, fears, and triumphs? Someone who is always in your corner? That’s exactly what you get with me as your doula, and more!
Comfort Techniques
I’m fully with you emotionally and physically throughout your whole labor. I bring hands-on knowledge with positioning, counter pressure, breathing, relaxation, and more that we will also practice ahead of time.
Informed Choices
When you’re having a baby, the world throws all its opinions at you – and it’s overwhelming! I help you get a clear picture so you can make informed choices that are best for YOU. I will not push you in any direction, but will make sure you know all your options.
I'm incredibly thankful for Anna's support before, during, and after my birth! She never pressed me in to any decisions but helped me weigh all the options as I thought through my birth preferences. Anna has such a personal approach to her work as a doula, and I would gladly recommend her to anyone who is preparing for motherhood!
-Karina
During labor, Anna had a calming presence that held space for me. When I was in a position that she couldn’t help physically, she held my hand and prayed for me and my baby. Anna helped to provide the spiritual connection during labor that I longed for, making my birth so God-led. After birth, she made sure that me, my baby and my husband, were all taken care of.

Let's Chat!
What's the next step? Let's schedule a consult to find out if we are a good fit for each other!
These consults are FREE and non-committal. I normally prefer in-person so it's easier to get to know each other (I love a good coffee shop!), but we can also have a virtual consultation.
