Hello, my name is Anna, and I am a birth & labor doula based in Los Angeles. Two years ago, a friend invited me to her home birth & I was skeptical, since I knew nothing about birth. Yet, it was such a transformational experience, as I had the privilege of supporting her through labor and saw the miracle of a baby entering the world. It changed my life! I love what I get to do, supporting families in vulnerable times, advocating for them, and creating an environment of safety and love. While I got my start at a home birth, I am happy to assist you in a hospital setting, birth center, or at home, since I believe you birth best wherever you feel most comfortable. While I love exploring all the coffee shops of Los Angeles in my free time, I also love hosting dinner parties and Bible studies at my home.

When working together, my standard package includes 3 prenatal visits, labor support, and 1 postpartum visit, though there are always options for customization. I will get to know your birth preferences, be available for questions and referrals, then go on call once you hit 38 weeks. I provide emotional, physical, and informational support continuously during labor, and then visit you afterwards to engage with your birth story.
