A Message from Anna:

Hey friend! I can’t wait to meet and hang out with you! I’m Anna, a birth and postpartum doula and Evidence Based Birth® Instructor based out of St. Louis, Missouri. (But you can take my class from anywhere in the  world!) I am a DONA Certified Doula and a Jamaa Birth Village Certified Doula. I love working with families who are trying to figure out what  birth and parenting look like for themselves. My goal as a doula and educator is to create space for my clients to feel empowered to facilitate their birth and parenting journey in whatever way is best for them. It’s truly such an honor to walk alongside people through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Come join me in learning about birth!

What other parents have said about the class:

"I'm so grateful for this class and the confidence it gave us to stick up for ourselves, not only in labor but especially during the first 24 hours after birth at the hospital."

"I loved all of the information. The videos were very informative and packed full of helpful information and tips. I felt very empowered after each class and confident that I could make the decisions for myself and my baby, not just be a good patient who must listen to hospital staff."
