I went to see Anna on a recommendation from my Doula. I was 40 weeks pregnant and my OB wanted to induce me if I did not go into labor within one week. Since I was hoping for an unmedicated VBAC, I knew that I pretty much had to go into labor on my own to get the outcome I was hoping for. I went to see Anna and not only did she talk to me about the goals I had for seeing her, we discussed my past birth experience and the importance of letting any negative energy go. She was so very kind and informative, and together we set the intention we hoped for, which was for me to go into labor on my own within one week. It was a tall order but Anna made me feel confidant that we could do it. I saw her three days in a row, the first appointment was for an hour and the second and third were for about 1.5 hours. On the fourth day, I went into labor! I had the unmedicated VBAC I had hoped for and can't help but feel that Anna absolutely helped to induce labor.
In addition, I loved going to her office! Her therapy dog was super calming, and when her daughters were there, they were adorable. Her treatment room was very comfortable and she played soothing music, which lulled me to sleep every time I was there. Any time there was a needle that needed adjusting, she was right there to fix it and checked in on a regular basis to make sure all was well.
My VERY highest regard, rating, and recommendation go to Anna! I am so very grateful to have found her!
