Birth Doula Services
I hold a vision of harmonious birth, where the empowerment, well-being, and connection of mother and baby is honored and prioritized.
As your doula, I’m in your corner for the whole childbearing continuum: listening to your hopes, plans, questions and concerns; equipping you with information so you’re prepared to give birth on your terms; and offering you undivided support in the transformative event of labor and directly postpartum. In this way, doula care helps close the wide gap in maternal health care and drastically improve health outcomes for birthing people.
I see doula work as a form of companionship, and my ultimate goal is to co-create an experience where you feel seen and supported for all that you are. I like to tell my clients that there is no way to offend me, and will always be happy to hear you express your needs more clearly. My approach is open-hearted, non-judgmental, and down-to-earth.
I have experience supporting birth in many locations—hospitals, birthing centers, and home births in three countries—and many birth preferences and outcomes. No matter your preferences, my goal is to empower you to feel in touch with your own autonomy and birth the way you feel safest and most empowered.

I’m committed to economic justice and allow clients to place themselves on a sliding scale for birth services. You can read more about my sliding scale pricing here.
M., birth client:
“There are no words to accurately describe the special attention and care we got from Hannah. From the moment we signed on with her until our last postpartum visit, Hannah has been there for us physically, mentally, and emotionally. Her resources and research were abundant and very informative, and no question was too big or too small to answer 24/7. When it came time for labor, Hannah came to us before she was “supposed” to, knowing I needed her support earlier than expected, and then stayed with us 36+ hours until the baby was born . I can’t recommend Hannah enough! You’ll be in the best hands!”
S + J, birth clients:
“Your doula is your advocate and Hannah was our advocate from that day forward. She is a loyal champion for women's sovereignty in their pregnancies and their babies' births. She has done the work and continues to improve her knowledge on a daily basis. She has traveled to great lengths around the world to train with other incredible women in birth work. We had a home birth, and even under the circumstances that were mostly in our control, we cannot fathom having done it without Hannah.”
