Hi, my name is Annika! I’m a birth and postpartum doula who has worked with infants, young children, and their families for over 20 years. I received my birth doula training through DONA International and my postpartum training and certification through ProDoula. I also have a Bachelor’s degree in Child and Family Development, all clearances, and am CPR certified. My path to becoming a doula is a recent one, however I’ve always had a passion for learning about pregnancy, childbirth and newborn care.

For much of my career, I have focused on being a preschool teacher in addition to providing private childcare for families in the area. I love being part of all the milestones and celebrations while also being an extra set of hands to help as needed.

My goal as a doula is to create a relationship with my clients where they feel supported both physically and emotionally. I’m constantly pursuing training and furthering my education to build on my knowledge of child development and ways that I can help expectant and new parents throughout their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey.

My hope is that no matter where you are on your path to parenthood, my presence and support allows you to feel calm, confident, and ready to take on what’s next!
