Birth and Postpartum Doula

About Me

In walking through my own pregnancy, labor and delivery, and discovering the unexpected realities of the postpartum period, I became acutely aware of the importance of having a supportive tribe of women surrounding this delicate time of life. I have always viewed myself as an advocate of women, especially those who may lack access to essential resources, and it is this passion that fueled me towards becoming a doula. ​

I trained to be a postpartum doula in August of 2017 and to be a birth doula in January of 2018 with DONA International. I became certified through DONA International in July of 2020 and am a COVID-19 approved birth worker as a result. I have completed my Lactation Management Training with Lactation Education Resources, so I have breastfeeding knowledge and am well-connected to local lactation consultants. I received my Bachelor’s in Education from Liberty University, and I have years of teaching experience in the Montesorri classroom setting. I am CPR, AED, and First Aid certified through the American Safety and Health Institute. ​

I currently reside in Lawrenceville, Georgia along with my husband and two boys. I enjoy spending my days as a stay at home mom to our new baby boy, exploring new areas, and connecting with other like-minded mamas and birth obsessed professionals.

I look forward to serving you and your family in Lawrenceville and surrounding areas during this incredible time in your life!

    “As a new doula I’ve been feeling pretty overwhelmed and insecure about a lot of things pertaining to doula work. After spending some time chatting with Ann, I have a whole new confidence. She answered all my questions, gave me great advice, and then just encouraged me in my calling. She reminded me of my worth and was just an all together friendly person. Having Ann mentor me was such a wise decision I made in investing in my new business and adventure as a birth doula. I look forward to setting up more time with her in the future.”

    "I was a first time mom, far away from family and close friends having recently moved to the Sarasota area and completely overwhelmed in the "Fourth Trimester." Ann's kind and personable demeanor put me at ease right away. I finally felt like I could take a second and breathe knowing she was there to help us. 

    Ann always left our home looking better than when she came, whether helping with Rowyn's laundry or tidying 

    the kitchen, she was always helping in ways we didn't expect, but greatly appreciated. Ann was the first person, other than my mom, I felt comfortable leaving my daughter with while I slept. Knowing she was also a mom and "got it" was very helpful for me to feel confident that she would care for my baby as I would.

    Ann is very intuitive and great at anticipating your family's needs. I would recommend her to any family needing postpartum support." 

  • Chris, Birth Client

    "My wife and I used Ann’s services for our first child, born 6 weeks ago on December 8th. When my wife first approached with the idea of using a doula, I was a little skeptical to be honest but wanted to do whatever made my wife as comfortable as possible.

    To say I was pleasantly surprised would be a massive understatement. She made our day that much more special and having that extra support system was instrumental in my wife having such a smooth delivery. Ann showed up at the hospital at 3:00 AM when my wife started labor and stayed with us until 9:00 PM that night when our baby girl arrived. She made our day that much more special and having that extra support system was instrumental in my wife having such a smooth delivery.

    The amount of support, help and tips during labor and delivery were invaluable and made our experience that much better. Anybody considering a doula, I highly recommend using Ann and her services. She made our day that much more special and having that extra support system was instrumental in my wife having such a smooth delivery. And to all those soon to be dads out there, listen to your partners and use a doula!!!“
