I’ve been there too.
Hi! I’m Vanessa, a Certified Birth Doula CD(DONA), Certified Childbirth Educator, and Certified Prenatal Yoga Teacher.
I was pregnant after living in chronic pain for 15 years due to undiagnosed endometriosis. The journey to diagnosis taught me a few things:
a variety of ways to cope with prolonged, extreme pain
the importance of evidence-based research to make informed decisions
the difference it makes when your care provider is truly aligned with your values
how to best advocate for myself and others
After an empowering and redemptive birth experience (in a hospital setting), I realized those were tools every birthing person could benefit from. You deserve to also find calm, confidence and connection during your pregnancy and birth, and I am here to help guide you!
