Min hours per visit for Postpartum Doula is 2hrs and up to 8 hours at $30/hr (day rate available for an 8hr day). Book a meeting with Annie prior to the baby’s arrival to see if she is a good fit for your family’s needs and to have a tentative plan set up for after you come home with the baby. Do not hesitate to contact Annie after you have come home with the baby or even later on after the 4th trimester if things are feeling overwhelming and you need support.
Currently available during school time hours on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursday & Fridays 9 am – 5 pm. I am available some early evenings but I do not do over night care. I can also do some weekend hrs upon request.

“A huge part of what I took away from mama-baby yoga was Annie’s energy. Even now when I struggle I turn to mothers who resonate with me, who teach with wisdom and peace, and Annie’s words echo in my mind frequently. I’ll catch myself saying “what would Annie do” when I need to channel her incredible motherly energy! Thank you, Annie, so much for just being you!”
