Birth Doula Care

As your doula, Annie is your advocate in healthcare settings where medical providers can be over-stretched and not all speak English. Annie translates German & English, ensuring you and your providers understand each other, while teaching you essential medical self-advocacy skills and reminding you when and how to use them at birth. Prenatally, Annie will teach you how to gently release your lower uterine segment and broad ligament to facilitate the best position for your baby to enter your pelvis, which can have a profound positive impact on the course of your labor.

​

Doula-attended births have a 39% reduced risk of cesarean, 10% reduction in requests for pain medication, 31% reduction in risk of parents reporting dissatisfaction with their birth experience, and are on-average 41 minutes shorter.
