“At the start of my second pregnancy I knew I wanted to do things differently. I dreamt of a natural home birth that would honor the magic of birth. I had a block though and struggled to make decisions. So I found Hannah online and met for embodied birth preparation. By the end of our first meeting I felt confident in voicing my wishes, and I asked Hannah if she would stay beside me throughout the journey as my doula.

The meetings leading to the birth helped my partner and I process the first birth which had been chaotic and rushed. Hannah’s knowledgeable and flexible approach was always tailored to my needs. At 36 weeks my baby was breech which brought up a lot fear and anxiety. Hannah helped me work through my fears and find peace in the unknown, while simultaneously drawing upon her yoga and rebozo expertise to help naturally turn the baby.

I will forever be grateful to Hannah for her role in my son’s home birth. Thanks to the discussions and intention setting we had a plan in place that unfolded beautifully. My partner had previously been hesitant about the logistics of a home birth, but Hannah’s presence allowed him to be present with me. Through the various transitions of the birth she played a key role in ensuring I felt calm, heard and held. ”
