The "Crunchy-ish" Mom Membership
I proudly identify as a "Crunchy-ish" mom. I’m passionate about natural and organic living, scrutinize ingredient labels like a pro, and strive to make the best choices for every challenge motherhood presents. I opt for the “sourdough, farm-raised” option when possible, birthed all my babies in my living room on purpose, and have an impressive collection of oils, tinctures, and potions for every family ailment.
However, I also enjoy a good Starbucks iced coffee, rely on my stylist to keep the gray at bay, and owe my wrinkle-free forehead to a little something that rhymes with “snow socks.” I’m deeply grateful for modern medicine and use it for my family as needed. I have countless family, friends and clients who've had very different birth experiences than mine, and I've been honored to support them whole heartedly. Ultimately, I’m the queen of my home, and I get to decide what’s best for us. In a world prone to “mom shaming,” I’m dedicated to empowering other mamas to embrace this mindset.
A “Crunchy-ish” mom understands that each family defines its own balance. She shares her wisdom, listens with curiosity, and avoids drama while treating others with kindness, regardless of their choices. Does this sound like a group you'd want to be a part of? Join us today—you might just find your new best friends!

Postpartum visits will last about an hour in the comfort of your own home. Most of our time together will be spent going over all your questions, concerns and current stressors, as well as providing clinical care at your bedside.
Take a big deep breath my friend. As a seasoned midwife and a mother who has personally navigated the complexities of birthing and raising four wonderful children, I am intimately aware of the difficulties this period may present. However, I also understand the profound impact that dedicated guidance, nurturing, and support can have during this special time. I'm here for you, to make your postpartum phase a nurturing bubble of healing and recovery, instead of an overwhelming soup of chaos. I can't wait to meet you and support your family through this special time.
Who would benefit from this kind of postpartum support:
If you live in Orange County, CA, and have chosen a hospital-based provider for your delivery but are seeking a more supported and nurturing postpartum experience than what is typically offered, this service may be ideal for you.
Usually, about three days after birth, you will be discharged from the hospital and sent home. While returning to the comfort of your own home with your newborn is a welcome change, it often brings the reality of new parenthood, which can be challenging. Many new mothers face issues such as breastfeeding difficulties, overwhelming responsibilities, and severe sleep deprivation, all while recovering from pregnancy and childbirth.
It is surprisingly common for new parents to be sent home with little more than well-wishes and expected to manage on their own. I’m here to offer a different experience. Book my services today and look forward to a well-supported postpartum journey.

Lael Stephens, first Time Mom
"Words cannot express the peace of mind and confidence I received from this virtual midwife support program as a first time mom."
I can’t even imagine going through my pregnancy & the first few weeks of my daughter’s life without Ana's support, wisdom and judgment free guidance. What made the biggest difference for me was how she helped me navigate the day to day learning curves of motherhood while reminding me to tune into my own intuition and mothering instincts. Under her care I found my own confidence as a new mother . This is a gift I will carry through the rest of my daughter’s life as we face new challenges with each new stage of growth .
I looked forward to our virtual visits and would always leave breathing a big sigh of relief. As often happens, my birth did not go according to the plan. I ended up with an Emergency-C Section delivery. Ana helped me process the whirlwind of an abrupt shift in my plans, allowed me space to grieve the loss of my “birth plan” and validated my experience. She helped me navigate a rocky start to milk production and breastfeeding . If you're looking for a well cared for start to motherhood I highly recommend booking her postpartum support option!
Brenna Fox First time mama
"The First Six Weeks ” is unmatched by anything on the market.
In all my researching for solid, unbiased support options for new mothers I've never seen anything like this program. The access to education from both a medical perspective + the more holistic wisdom of a midwife was so refreshing & reassuring. It was like having a trusted friend to consult any time of the day or night for real time reminders and solutions. Ana is a wealth of knowledge both from her real life experience as a mother & her career as a midwife. I refer all my friends to her because every woman deserves this kind of support in postpartum!
You're going to make it, I promise.

"Having access to Ana's loving support during my pregnancy and postpartum was incredible."
Her presence and care honestly felt life saving during one of the most vulnerable times of my life. Ana is the real deal. Her advice is so nurturing and genuinely helpful. I felt that my concerns were seen and truly addressed. It was like she knew in advance exactly how I'd feel and the hurdles we'd encounter. It's clear her expertise comes from both personal struggles and professional experience. Her ability to listen, and offer helpful advice eased my anxiety and helped me better care for myself and my son. I cannot recommend her enough for anyone preparing for a baby or freshly postpartum.
"I will not rescue you, for you are not powerless
I will not fix you, for you are not broken
I will not heal you, for I see you in your wholeness
I will walk with you in your darkness as you remember your light."

We are unable to bill your insurance for our services. We do offer a variety of payment plans to assist you in spreading out our fee schedule if that option is most convenient. See our services page for more information.
Does Insurance Cover Your Services ?
The integration of virtual midwifery services offers a more holistic perspective on pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. Midwives approach these experiences as natural physiological processes, recognizing the inherent capability of women's bodies rather than perceiving them as medical events or conditions requiring intervention. Our philosophy is rooted in a deep belief in your strength and competence, aiming to provide a nurturing environment where you feel supported and valued during this vulnerable phase of your life.
Consultations with obstetricians and gynecologists (OBGYNs) typically span approximately ten minutes, often resulting in experiences that may seem hurried or impersonal. By incorporating midwifery support, we extend the opportunity for more in-depth discussions, allowing plenty of time for questions and fostering meaningful, compassionate connections. This additional layer of care enhances your overall experience, ensuring that your needs and preferences are thoroughly addressed.
Why Would I Need A Virtual Midwife If I already have an OBGYN ?
Rest assured I will never counter the recommendations given by your healthcare professional. Instead, my role is to lend a listening ear to your questions and concerns, bridge any gaps in your understanding where you may feel the information is lacking, and suggest additional or more natural alternatives, where deemed appropriate, for potential remedies or solutions.
What if the advice you give differs from what my OBGYN suggests ?
