Meet Annie S.
Annie is a DONA trained birth doula on our team. She offers her families a warm and compassionate listening ear and encourages parents to gain confidence in their abilities and their knowledge. She believes in evidence based care, and also getting in touch with traditional and holistic customs. She is experienced with vaginal hospital births, medicated and unmedicated births, as well as Cesareans.
Annie knew she wanted to become a doula soon after she was pregnant with her first child. Having a doula (the same doula!) at both of her births was something she would never change. She also learned more about doula work after learning about the Fertility Awareness Method of birth control; this opened her mind up to so many things women aren’t educated on with their own bodies: from normal cycle functions, to birth and postpartum. Once she began learning, she took a deep dive into birth work and women’s care. She loves supporting families in pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Families need care and support in the most vulnerable times!
When Annie is not supporting families, she is spending time with her two children, reading, cooking, and doing hand embroidery. She is also a coffee fiend!
