About Annie

I have always been captivated by pregnancy and birthing, and what these transformative experiences reveal about our selves and our world. Since I was young enough to watch over younger neighbors and siblings, being a helper to parents has been an important part of how I participate in my community.

 

Using these fascinations as a guiding star, I chose to pursue birth work and have been certified as a full-spectrum doula by Doula Training International since 2022. I also obtained my certification as an Oregon Traditional Health Worker in 2025.

 

I graduated from University of Portland with a degree in communication studies. This course of study has equipped me with both an evidence-based praxis and a mind for open communication and meaningful connection. I am forever a student of my clients and fellow birthworkers.

 

In my time spent not working with families, you can find me working on a sewing project, cooking up something comforting, browsing vintage stores, and singing along to the oldies station.
