Book a free consultHow I can help
Calm, practical care through your birth and the first weeks at home, when the visitors thin out and the real adjustment begins.
Postpartum support
Practical help in those first fragile weeks at home, with feeding, rest and recovery. I'll notice when something feels off and remind you that needing support isn't a failure.
Birth Photos
Photos of your baby's birth, so you can look back on those first moments. Ask me about it during your consultation and we'll talk through what you'd like.
No one should do this alone.
Birth gets a lot of attention. The weeks after often don't. I'm here for both: steady support while you labor, and help at home with feeding, rest and recovery once the casseroles stop coming. You don't have to figure it all out by yourself.

I'm Ana Jones, a birth and postpartum doula in Austin, TX. After my first child was born, I had flowers, casseroles and visitors. But at 3 a.m., when feeding wasn't working, I felt strangely alone. Nobody had warned me how heavy those early weeks could feel. Then my neighbor, a retired nurse, came over with tea and folded laundry while I cried. I've never forgotten it. That's when I saw how often families get overlooked, right as the attention fades and the real adjustment begins. I trained as a postpartum doula to be that calm presence for other parents. I support you through birth, and after, I help with feeding, rest and recovery. I notice when something feels off. And I'll remind you that needing support isn't a failure.
My promise
I'll show up steady and calm, listen to what you need, and help with the practical things. If something feels off, I'll notice. And I'll keep reminding you that asking for support isn't a failure.
Questions families ask
How do I get started?
Reach out through the contact form and tell me a little about yourself, your due date or your new baby, and the kind of support you're looking for. From there, we can set up a free consultation and see if we're a good fit.
What does a free consultation look like?
It's a relaxed conversation with no pressure. You can tell me what you're hoping for with your birth or postpartum weeks, ask me anything, and get a feel for whether I'm the right person for you. I'll share how I work, and we'll talk about what support could look like for your family.
What happens if you can't make my birth?
It's a fair question, and one I'd rather talk through openly with you than answer in a sentence here. Bring it up at our free consultation and we'll go over it together, so you know what to expect before you decide.
How long do families usually work with you?
It depends on what you need. Some families want support for the birth, some want help in the weeks after, and some want both. We'll talk about your plans and your due date and figure out what fits your family.
