Anais sorkhabi - Birth & Postpartum Doula

About Anais

I’m a single mother navigating the rewarding and challenging journey of raising an adventurous young boy. My life is a blend of nurturing a curious and growing child while indulging in my passions and interests. For many years, I’ve been deeply immersed in the food industry, managing a beloved family-owned Mexican restaurant that was started by my grandparents in 1964. This restaurant has been a cornerstone of our family and community, and my work there has not only shaped my professional life but also my personal identity. Running the restaurant has been a labor of love, connecting me to my heritage and allowing me to share our family’s culinary traditions with others. Cooking remains a significant part of my life, whether it's preparing meals at home or experimenting with new recipes. I find joy in exploring new culinary experiences and discovering new flavors, both in my own kitchen and through dining out at different restaurants. Traveling to foreign countries is another passion of mine, as it offers a chance to immerse myself in different cultures, gain fresh perspectives, and experience the world from new angles. Nature is my sanctuary, providing a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Whether I’m hiking through scenic trails or simply enjoying the outdoors, I cherish the connection with nature and the tranquility it brings. My Philosophy Central to my philosophy is the belief that no woman is ever truly alone in her journey. As a mother and a professional, I embrace the idea that support, solidarity, and shared experiences among women are powerful forces that uplift and strengthen us. Whether through the bonds we forge in our personal lives or the communities we build in our professional endeavors, the connections we make are vital. I am committed to fostering these connections and drawing strength from the collective wisdom and support of the women around me. In addition to my work in the food industry, I am a certified prenatal doula. These roles allow me to provide comprehensive support to families during one of the most transformative times in their lives. My certifications reflect my dedication to helping others navigate their birthing journeys with confidence and care. Balancing motherhood with my professional and personal interests, I strive to create a fulfilling and vibrant life for both myself and my son. My experiences in the food industry, coupled with my passion for travel, nature, and my work as a doula , shape a life filled with creativity, exploration, and deep familial bonds.

Anais was an amazing support before and during my labor. She helped me craft my perfect birth plan and supported me 100% the whole time never leaving my side. I am extremely grateful for her services and would recommend her highly to anyone I know.

I had the pleasure of working with Ana during the birth of my daughter, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the initial consultation to the postpartum support, Ana demonstrated an incredible level of professionalism, empathy, and expertise. Their calming presence and extensive knowledge helped me feel prepared and supported every step of the way. Ana was attentive to my needs, provided invaluable emotional support, and offered practical guidance that made a significant difference in my birthing experience. Post-birth, Ana continued to be a source of support, offering helpful advice and reassurance during the early days of parenthood. If you're looking for a doula who is compassionate, skilled, and genuinely dedicated to supporting you through your birth journey, Ana is the perfect choice.

I provide continuous emotional support, physical comfort measures (like massage and positioning), and guidance on breathing and relaxation techniques. I also help with communication between you and your medical team.

How do we work together before labor begins?

I typically have prenatal meetings to discuss your birth plan, preferences, and any concerns. I also provide information and answer questions to help you feel prepared for labor.

What if I go into labor before you arrive?

I stay in close contact and will come to you as soon as possible. We are experienced in supporting you through different stages of labor and can adapt to changing circumstances.
