“Anna was really outstanding in helping us get ready for the birth, and in providing excellent emotional & physical support during & after labor. She played an invaluable role in helping me have the birth I wanted to have – I don’t think I could have done it without her!”

“Anna provided me many books during my pregnancy to help prepare me for labor. We discussed these books and really, through these discussions, I was more and more excited about a natural/home childbirth. She made me feel empowered and like this was a natural act I was born to achieve. During labor she helped me keep smiling, laughing, provided compresses, assisted in keeping me fed, hydrated… she kept [my husband] confident.”

“Anna was fantastic! Very compassionate & attentive while remaining calm & non-invasive. She was essential to my husband who I think would have been at a loss without her.”

“We cannot recommend Anna Mahony enough to be a team member on your birth team. But one warning: she will become a family member (Aunt Anna!) to your family, just as she has to ours.When we hired Anna as our doula, we had high expectations. Anna set regular appointments at our home to prepare for what we hoped would be an easy and straight forward labor. It took our son almost 48 hours to emerge, and throughout this truly laborious labor, Anna was a steady, calming, loving figure who guided me through every step and stage of the process. Her knowledge of calming positions and soothing tricks made every contraction a ton easier. Anna had an innate sense of exactly what was needed from me, from my husband, and from her during each step of labor, and she acted in a swift but calm manner to ensure that everything was as easy as possible. She interfaced professionally and simply with each medical professional who took care of us, and she knew when and how to signal to us that we may want some time alone to discuss the necessary deviations from our birth plan. We were so grateful to have an advocate, friend, professional, child expert, mother expert, and all-around awesome doula aboard our birth team.”

There are not enough words to describe how cared for, safe and secure I felt with her before, during and after my birth. Right away she took time to hear our birth story from our first birth and talk about big and small changes we wanted to make this time around. She even took the time during our consults to get to know our first son and include him in the conversation (He LOVES her btw). I had a difficult time with my pregnancy during my last trimester and she went out of her way to check in on me and my family to see if we needed additional information and support. When the time came she arrived quickly and even reminded my husband to eat some food. She helped calm me through my early contractions and stepped up with awesome hip squeezes when transition began. She stayed long after the birth to help the midwives and my family settle in before quietly slipping out so we could rest. My husband and I are beyond happy with her services and dedication to my birth. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
