Honey Bee Doula

Hi! I’m Ana

Let’s get to know each other.

I serve the greater Austin, Texas area and provide doula care to my clients at the birth place of your choosing whether home, birth center, or hospital.  I am currently finishing my doula certification with Birth Arts International.

Inspired by the birth of one of my adorable nieces and nephews, I desire to strengthen and encourage moms in this precious journey.  As much as possible I work with the natural design of the birth process.

I’m often in the kitchen creating comforting, lifegiving dishes for my family and community, and this overflows into my doula practice.  Other places you might find me are in my aquaponics garden or bee yard, at our local market selling honey and sourdough, or on an outdoor adventure with friends. 

Why honey bee doula?  Honey bees are selfless, hardworking members of a team.  They cheerfully do any task that needs to be done.  As a doula, my hope is to serve moms and their families in a similar way.   

What is a doula?

A doula is a trained birth professional who provides non-medical support to mothers throughout the birth process.

From giving the laboring mom a massage for natural pain relief to helping her navigate her medical options, to bringing her a glass of water, a doula does whatever is most helpful for Mama so that she can focus on one of the most breathtaking accomplishments – bringing new life into the world.
