Anya was our doula for our second birth. She paid careful attention during our prenatal visit and recalled my preferences during labor. She was also passionate and knowledgeable about helping me and my husband prepare our firstborn, almost 3 years old, for the arrival of his new brother. I had a fast labor, and she provided a calm presence and physical support, for both my husband and me. When I didn't need physical support, she found opportunities to take photos of special moments during labor and birth, which I treasure. She took notes with time stamps, which I appreciate, as the timeline can get fuzzy really fast in the postpartum period! She made sure to give us space during our postpartum visit to process, ask questions, and reflect on how the transition went with our firstborn. We are so glad we had Anya on our birth team!
