Testimonials
I have had the opportunity to work with Anna and Rachel and they are amazing doulas, very supportive, very hands on, very present with their mamas. We love to have them with our mamas as they keep them well informed and are advocates for their birth plans. We at Beach Cities Midwifery highly recommend Anna and Rachel!
I love the idea of a doula team: two doulas hired together! Having a service where both the doula and the backup doula are hired at the same time as a team sounds amazing to me. Such a unique and special service to provide.
Anna and Rachel both attended the recent birth of our youngest child. While working seamlessly as a team, they also each individually provided a quiet, respectful, and supportive presence for me during labor.
I feel so lucky to have found Anna who guided me and my husband through a difficult pregnancy. She was extremely responsive and knowledgeable, and connected me to resources and workshops throughout my pregnancy. At the time of my delivery, Anna was extremely attentive. She had a calming presence that helped me through a long and difficult labor & delivery. Despite some unexpected complications, she kept me focused on my goal for a natural birth. I am grateful for her support and highly recommend Anna Hamp as a doula.
After a difficult birth experience with my first baby, my husband and I decided to hire a doula for our second birth. We were hoping to have a natural birth, but didn't feel prepared to do that with just the two of us.
When the pain was too much to handle, Rachel was there to comfort me and ensure me that everything would be ok. She was so warm and encouraging when I needed it most. I had an all natural birth and it was her caring professionalism that helped give me the confidence and strength to go through with it.
…The idea that we could have the power and support of a team was very appealing — After my husband and I met with them (Anna & Rachel), we knew they were the perfect fit for us. Not only did they answer every question we had (and we had many!) they also connected us with numerous powerful resources. Rachel was amazing at the actual birth, but it was as if Anna was there as well as she was connected to us constantly and kept checking in to see how things were going. I felt completely supported during my non-medicated birth. Thanks again Rachel and Anna! If you are looking for a Doula, look no further, they are right in front of you!
I hired Anna Hamp and Rachel Crownoble to be my doulas (they work as a team) for my second pregnancy. They were professional, extremely helpful, and set my mind at ease… Anna and Rachel met with me three times before my delivery so I could get to know them and so they could understand my fears and motivations. They recommended many local resources and answered questions I had… Anna (who was present for my birth) knew when I needed a hand to hold without me having to ask for help. I was able to deliver naturally without any pain medication or interventions. I had the confidence to do this because I mentally prepared myself with the doulas beforehand and also had Anna's support during the difficult pushing phase… Hiring a doula was one of the best decisions of my pregnancy, and both Anna and Rachel showed themselves to be fantastic doulas.
