About me...

For as long as I can remember, I have been passionate about pregnancy, birth, and babies. As the second of six children, I was always thrilled whenever my mother was expecting, eagerly awaiting the arrival of a new sibling.

Fast forward to today: I am a proud mother of five wonderful children. Originally from Poland, I moved to Scotland with my husband nearly 20 years ago, where we welcomed our two beautiful daughters and three lovely sons. My first birth was a long journey, and I lacked the knowledge to achieve the intervention-free experience I had hoped for. However, with each subsequent birth, I discovered the incredible power within me. I realized that my body was made for birth, and I firmly believe that when women embrace their innate strength, they can experience birth as an empowering, transformative journey. Breastfeeding was also an important part of my motherhood journey.

In 2013, I completed the Breastfeeding Network Peer Support Training, and since then, I have been supporting first-time mothers in establishing successful breastfeeding relationships. In 2021, I deepened my commitment to birth work by completing the BirthBliss Aspiring Doula Foundation Course.

As a doula, my mission is to empower women and their partners through pregnancy, birth, and beyond. I bring empathy, non-judgmental support, warmth, understanding, kindness, courage, a reassuring smile, and a wealth of knowledge to every family I support. When a baby is born, parents are born too! I help families prepare for the incredible journey of parenthood, offering care and guidance to the mother, who often focuses so much on her baby that she forgets she, too, deserves to be nurtured. If you’re looking for a doula to walk alongside you on this beautiful journey, I would love to support you.

"Our Anna... That's how we always talk about her. Anna is not only invaluable "support during childbirth". Anna is a Friend... A warm, sensitive person... Anna is a person with whom you can feel like a sister. Anna is a person you can trust 100%, composed and helpful. As a mother of five children, she perfectly understands the concerns and emotions of the other current or future mother. Her support during my childbirth was irreplaceable. Full professionalism and full logistics. Despite the fact that our Marysia is already 3.5 years old, Anna is still present in our lives. We love it when she comes to us for coffee from time to time. It is always positive then and the meetings are accompanied by a lot of laughter and freedom. We recommend Anna with all our hearts."

I recommend Anna with all my heart! When I was preparing to become a mother, I didn't have much knowledge about childbirth. I mainly heard that it was something traumatic, terrifying and it's better not to read too much into it. Anna completely changed my approach. She showed me what strength lies dormant in a woman and that I can endure a lot. The birth of our first daughter took place at home. Anna was available by phone the whole time. Even when I called in the middle of the night, when the contractions started. She was with us throughout the labor and accompanied us to the hospital, where I was admitted because the placenta was not delivered in its entirety. When I think back to the birth, I can't imagine doing it without her guidance. She sensed my needs, suggested new solutions to relieve pain (combs), and was very gentle and unobtrusive. She went through each contraction with me, helping me breathe calmly. Thanks to her, I didn't panic when the pain became almost unbearable. After the birth, Anna and I were in constant contact. She helped me put my daughter to the breast, and dispelled various doubts that appeared at the beginning of motherhood. It was invaluable help!

Anna is truly incredible! Her caring and kind nature put me at ease while I was giving birth/was in labour to my second son. She supported me and my partner with great compassion, intuition and calmness. Anna has a natural warmth, loves babies and the whole wonderous process of welcoming them to this world. She was there throughout offering helping hand and advice. She was very open to adapt and experiment, and highly respectful of our boundaries. We couldn't have made a better investment in such an important moment of our lives. I would highly recommend Anna to any couple looking for a doula.
