Find a Postpartum Doula Near Me in Anchorage, AK

Experienced and compassionate doula services in Alaska, serving Anchorage and the Mat-Su Valley. I offer birth, postpartum, and bereavement support, as well as childbirth education.

With 16+ years experience and attendance of 800+ births in various roles and environments, I am well experienced in providing midwifery care during the entire childbearing cycle. In addition to working with 4,000+ families across the preconception, prenatal, postpartum and newborn periods, I have been honored to have experience in a variety of settings including four countries, five birth centers, and home births scattered in urban and rural settings. The fabric of these experiences has helped me develop a keen adeptness for working with a diverse range of clientele. Over the years, my focus and passion within midwifery has expanded to include many intersections across reproductive justice. I have specific interests in trauma informed care, mental wellbeing during the perinatal period, and research and education on minimizing obstetric trauma. I strongly adhere to the belief and practice that obstetric trauma is minimized when informed decision making and communication is utilized to ensure respectful care is being provided and client autonomy remains intact. I carry with me the deep rooted belief that birth is a sacred and transformative event that belongs to the birthing family and that it will usually progress the best when left as undisturbed as possible. I maintain high standards for myself and my affiliates to show up with open eyes, minds and hearts to support you in the unique way you desire as you welcome your newest family member into your arms.
