“We loved having [Annalee] be a part of our birth experience. I couldn’t have made it through laboring in the tub without [her]! Her support during that moment particularly was amazing!
Even though my labor didn’t go as I had envisioned, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. It left me feeling strong, empowered and in awe of the female body and my ability to bring life into this world!”

“We loved having Annalee as our doula. She encouraged me throughout the week I was overdue and nervously waiting for our baby to arrive, and she was available as soon as I wanted her when I went into labor. Throughout labor, Annalee was supportive and calming and never invasive or overbearing. She came prepared with great tools, techniques, and ideas to maximize my comfort and help me manage the intensity of my natural childbirth.

My husband was especially grateful for Annalee because having her there allowed him to support me more fully in emotional and personal ways; he truly was my most important support person, which made the experience even more special. Annalee was a natural and gentle presence, and I feel like I wouldn’t have made it so successfully through labor without her.”

“You helped me feel the best I’ve felt in months, even during labor. Thank you, Annalee!”

“Annalee was our volunteer doula and helped me through the hardest parts of labor when my mother couldn’t be there with me. She kept me calm and made me and my husband feel more confident and taken care of. She rubbed my back for hours in the middle of the night and did counter pressure on my knees while my husband rested, and she took pictures of our son’s birth so that we could remember it! We were so grateful she was there to help us.”
