Congratulations! Welcome to the amazing journey called parenthood...

Giving birth is a breathtaking experience and transformation. When families receive education and support, they are able to feel confident in the choices they make for their birth. Whether you a expectant mother researching her options, a birth partner supporting a pregnant woman or a birth professional looking for more options for your clients, I hope you find what you are looking for and feel inspired to learn more!

My name is Vanessa and I support families during pregnancy and childbirth including labor support with birth doula services for hospital, birth center or home birth and childbirth education classes from Hypnobabies©.

I am pleased to support families in the tri-state area of southwestern Pennsylvania including Pittsburgh in their plans for birth including natural birth, birth with an epidural, VBAC, cesarean birth and recovery, breastfeeding and postpartum care. Words cannot express what an amazing privilege it is to witness families being created and expanded, women and men being transformed into parents and siblings meeting their new, tiny family member for the first time.
