About GWB
My journey into serving families began during my time in midwifery school, where I worked as a birth doula and childbirth educator. In both hospital and home birth settings, I felt an undeniable calling to support families through their most transformative moments. This hands-on experience not only deepened my passion for birthwork but also laid the foundation for what my Midwifery Practice is today!
​
As I moved forward in my journey, I expanded my training to include body balancing and bodywork through Spinning Babies. This sacred practice, known as sobadas, is a traditional healing art passed down through generations of women in my family. My grandmother, a healer in her own right, used these methods to support the women she served, and although these ancient practices had faded over time, I was fortunate enough to reconnect with them through teachers who helped me rediscover my roots. This work has been a profound process of healing and empowerment, one that has allowed me to not only reconnect with my culture and lineage but also reclaim my personal strength.
Through every service I offer, from midwifery care to bodywork, my deepest intention is to make sure each person I work with feels seen, heard, and held in a warm, gentle, and compassionate embrace. I want each individual to leave with a sense of love and care, knowing they are supported with the utmost tenderness.

Tessa D.
"Upon first encounter with Ana, my husband and I fell in love with her gentle caring ways. Ana has been a part of our family since I was 19 weeks pregnant and delivered my baby girl at home at 38 weeks. Ana has been my sacred midwife, birth keeper, teacher, and friend. I honestly had the best pregnancy with her care. I appreciate your care filled attention on my journey.
Thank you Ana for your time, energy, and sincere knowledge of birthing."

"I am 35 weeks pregnant with my first baby and due to some late airplane flights severe weather changes and stress, my baby has been breech multiple times.
Each time she has given me a breech balancing massage, my baby flipped head down within two days. She is magic! She has such a gentle and calming energy and is an absolute expert in her craft. I strongly recommend her if you are trying to get your baby in the right position or are needing some help with your pregnancy."

"Ana is amazing! She was wonderful treating me during my pregnancy. I had 3 prenatal massages, and completed her birth class in 2 sessions. She was able to come to my house, which was very helpful and convenient. The birth class was extremely supportive and informative. Ana explained each birth option, and even helped with suggestions based on my choice of a hospital birth. She guided me through how to advocate for myself with hospital staff, and taught my husband and I pain coping techniques during labor. My baby was measuring over 9 lbs for birth via ultrasounds. However, Ana assessed my belly and assured me I could attempt a vaginal delivery and my baby would be smaller than was being predicted. She was accurate in estimating my baby's birth weight. I also saw Ana for a postnatal massage. I would highly recommend Ana!"
