About Hosanna

Hosanna is a Certified Birth Doula who is passionate about helping people have a peaceful and empowering birth. She has a passion for helping people work towards VBAC and help people advocate in a compassionate way, so they can feel empowered and respected during their journey.

My whole purpose for becoming a doula was born when I was pregnant with my first child. I wanted to learn everything I possibly could about pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I opted to birth at a birth center and I really wanted an unmedicated water birth. I ended up getting transferred for a C-section which resulted in a rough start to my fourth trimester. I took a birth education course and did all the "right" things but not once did I learn or prepare for the unexpected. I felt so alone, lost and unsupported afterwards. I lived far from my family, it was in the height of the pandemic and I was struggling to find myself, process my birth trauma and care for a newborn.

I went from a traumatic birth immediately into an unsupported postpartum period. I didn't become a doula to save other mothers. I want to help support, educate and empower you to make decisions for you and your baby. I want to equip you so you are in charge. I also want to be the friend who comes to take care of you after you have your baby, 

I have experienced several types of births just with having my own three kids that has helped me in my love for birthwork. I was at a birth center and in labor was transferred for a c-section, I had a planned cesarean with my second and my third baby was born at home (my HBA2C!!).

As women, we are ingrained to try and do all the things and make it look effortless but that is not reality. Let someone else cook for you, draw you a bath, bring you your favorite Starbucks drink, so you can soak up all the newborn snuggles.
