Our Practice
Home or hospital, spontaneous labor or scheduled cesarean, we are here to support you and your family through this process and whatever it looks like for you. Full spectrum care is expansive in its range; this means we support all outcomes and all reproductive choices. Your journey is your own and we will be there to walk alongside you.
Our core values are rooted in inclusivity, anti-racism, and cultural sensitivity. Bodily autonomy and reproductive justice are our guideposts. Meaning, we welcome all people, all identities, all abilities, and all relational configurations. We intentionally practice within that framework of support and are committed to continued learning and unlearning, acknowledging our biases and working towards transformative justice in action. We believe that all people deserve a safe, empowered, embodied, even joyful birth experience.
We are both fully vaccinated and happy to mask and covid test to your comfort level.
Our Partnership
We are full spectrum doulas who practice similarly, thus our partnership is beautiful and seamless. Working within a partnership framework provides you access to two doula brains, our combined experience, expertise and offerings. This model allows for you to spend time with both of us, deepening our relationship and connection to one another. Partnership not only enriches the client experience, but also allows for more sustainability and flexibility on our end, allowing us to show up more fully and tend to our whole human-ness. Our doula partnership is rooted in friendship, love, and devotion to this work, and we hope you can feel that depth when we join your birth team.
Meet Leanna
Birth work, for me, is activism. It is community care. It is facilitating reproductive justice for all. My own birthing experiences birthed newness in me, transformed my humanity and informed the way in which I practice in this space. I am a mother to four, grandmother to one, wannabe word smith, sometimes runner, a seeker with insatiable curiosity, voracious reader, disruptor, star gazer, wanderer, and an emphatic fan of the kitchen dance party!
Meet Anna Marie
I have been called to this work for as long as I can remember; as the daughter of a long line of nurses and caregivers, this practice feels deeply ancestral. As a queer birthworker, I am particularly attuned to the infinite possibilities that love, family, and gender expression contain throughout this process. Beyond birthwork, my path has included time as a food and farm youth educator, gardener, yoga teacher, and community herbalist. I seek always to be in service to the vibrant, living world we share. Some of the things that make me happiest are jumping into Barton Springs, cooking for my loved ones, learning the names of plants, dancing the night away, and taking long hikes with my dog, George.
