Doula Named Hannah

Practice overview

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.

Mother's Blessing Ceremony

A Mother’s blessing, is a celebration of a woman’s journey into motherhood from her innermost circle. It is often held alongside or in place of baby showers. A Mother’s Blessing can look many ways, but often includes words of affirmation and praise, a commitment of support, and physically honoring the mother. I have had the joy of customizing and adapting Mother’s Blessings to honor different journeys, including the trans experience of becoming a mother. I would be happy to adapt this ceremony in any way that best supports you.
