About Me

Hi, I'm Anja! I'm a Los Angeles native, a wife, and a mother of three daughters. My journey into birth work began eight years ago, after giving birth to my first daughter. In those early days of motherhood, I longed for community and connection, and along the way, I met many women who carried stories of traumatic births and feelings of isolation in postpartum. Their voices resonated deeply with me and stirred a desire to be of service.

In 2018, I attended my first doula training, eager to support families in the hospital setting. The very first birth I attended was profoundly difficult—an experience that was both humbling and transformative, and one that opened my eyes to the deep need for more intentional, compassionate care. That realization became a turning point, ultimately leading me to midwifery school, where I graduated in 2024.

Over the years, I've had the honor of walking alongside a diverse range of families. My role is to stand beside mothers, trusting their intuition, affirming their autonomy, and offering unwavering support. My foundation is rooted in my spirituality, which informs the way I hold birth as sacred: not only a physical process, but a transformative passage that deserves reverence and ceremony. Every journey is unique, and the care I provide is deeply tailored to the needs of each family.

Practice Philosophy

My philosophy is rooted in the belief that my clients are intelligent and fully capable of making their own decisions when provided with proper education and information. My job is not to choose the type of birth my clients have, but to support the choices they feel are best for their family. I meet each family where they are, trusting their intuition and affirming their autonomy every step of the way.

My foundation is rooted in my spirituality, which informs the way I hold birth as sacred, not only a physical process, but a transformative passage that deserves reverence and ceremony. Because every journey is unique, the care I provide is deeply tailored to the needs of each family, offered with unwavering support and respect.

Overall, my goal is to help you feel informed, empowered, and fully supported, confident in the choices that are right for you and your family.
