    Care philosophy

    I believe that the best way to prepare for an empowering birth is to spend time on childbirth education and helping my clients become clear on their goals. I am a Christian and love to work with women of the faith whom I can pray over. I am also a prenatal and postnatal fitness instructor and I support women in strengthening the muscles they need for an easier pregnancy, labor, and postpartum.

      Alana made my pregnancy process very smooth and delightful, as she helped me a first time mom understand the stages of labor and delivery, she worked well with medical staff and other family members of mines. Alana is very knowledgeable, kind, trustworthy, good with babies, empathetic. I think Alana will be great for your birth!

      Alana is a very thorough, direct, and honest woman in her field, which I found hard to find when I was searching for a professional. She is very kind, empathetic, and truthful when it comes to her profession. There was so much I didn’t know about birth until I met her. She told me about pregnancy care, birth and postpartum care that I simply couldn’t learn anywhere else. She helped me understand the labor process and understand that I do have rights as a pregnant woman when it comes to hospitals. She not only explained to me what to do through all stages, she was very attentive and talked to my husband one on one to help him understand too. In lieu of inducing, she encouraged me to labor naturally by going on walks and doing light exercise. Not only did she teach me about the process, she explained the vital role my hormones and diet and stress levels play too.
      I will never forget her knowledge, care, wisdom, and honesty and I am so grateful to have had her throughout what would’ve been an otherwise pretty scary experience.

      As a doula client, I cannot speak highly enough of Alana’s exceptional care. From the moment we met, her empathetic nature shone through, making me feel understood and supported throughout the entire journey. Alana’s extensive knowledge and experience in childbirth were evident, as she provided invaluable guidance and reassurance every step of the way. What truly set Alana apart was her ability to create a comfortable and safe environment, allowing me to fully embrace the birthing process with confidence. As someone who relies on faith, Alana’s incorporation of Christian principles brought a sense of peace and strength to the experience, making it even more profound and meaningful. I am forever grateful for Alana’s presence and unwavering support during such a transformative time in my life. Blessed to have her as a part of my journey.
