Anastasia Velarde

During pregnancy and birth all women deserve to be cared for, listened to, and supported. Our ancestors knew and practiced this all over the world. Anastasia is a doula who believes this ancestral knowledge is vital to a positive birth experience. Medical interventions are a gift and useful when wanted or needed, but we have lost the importance of seeing the whole person, their innate capabilities, and their desires during birth. Anastasia believes that you get to choose what you want during this vulnerable time, and you should have people there that believe in you and support you. She is a birth doula that is passionate about helping parents through this time, and being there for them in a supportive and wholistic way.
