Holistic Doula Services
Nourished Birth
Hello Mamas!
I'm Anna, a Saskatoon based doula with a huge heart for bringing comfort, warmth, and knowledge to you in the birthing process – before, during, and after labour. I value creating a nurturing, fun-loving environment to help you trust your body. As women, our bodies naturally, intuitively know what to do when it comes to birth, and I'm here help you surrender to that inner wisdom.
What is a Doula?
A doula is a coach. A friend. A support.
Birth is incredible, natural, and instinctual, but it is also very hard, and it is something that needs to be prepared for. Just like runners prepare for a marathon and students study for tests, parents need to prepare for birth and the postpartum period.
I love using the analogy of a tool kit: a tool kit is like an imaginary bag that we carry around with us. It is filled with memories, wisdom, coping mechanisms, and skills we have gained throughout our life.
A doula’s role is to step into the lives of parents while they’re preparing to help them build and implement their tool kit for labour and life with a newborn.

"Anna was super chill and encouraging and non-judgemental. At one point, I wanted pain meds but I was struggling with feeling like I was weak, and Anna helped me realize that there was no shame in me doing what my body needed and that I didn't need permission."

"During the prenatal period, I felt inadequate and Anna was great at finding my strengths and making me feel like I was indeed capable enough for pregnancy and labour. During labour she was a strong but subtle presence, coaching my husband when needed but still letting him take the lead in supporting me, and helping me to maintain my confidence to stick to my birth plan."
