Hi There!
My name is Hannah and I am the founder of Transcend Maternal Services. I am a Christian, holistic doula as well as a breastfeeding, childbirth, and parent educator. I bounce between doula and birth keeper due to distancing myself from many institutions and systems that tend to side with providers rather than truly being there for my moms and their families. I am not a medical provider and do not take the place of a midwife, if that is what you desire (we all work as a team). I attend both home births with midwives and home births without midwives (free birth, unassisted birth). I am here to support mom and dad (and siblings if present)- to offer care in the uniques ways needed and desired.
Why did I choose Transcend Maternal Services? Because during pregnancy, birth, and parenting we go beyond our range or limits that were set before us. We truly transcend. We are forced to lean into God in new and brave ways and discover more about ourselves in ways we otherwise would not. It's powerful and incredible!
Pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding and parenting are my passions. I see a great need in support for parents. The support that used to be passed from generation to generation is lacking. The village and care that parents so desperately deserve is hard to find. A doula and birth keeper steps in to foster the first steps to getting back to this. My Transcend Community has grown and I love being able to watch the relationships and friendships that have blossomed from it- between clients and myself and amongst clients together. In a society and systems that so quickly make mothers and fathers question their ability, authority, autonomy, voice and more... My hope is for it to be reclaimed.
I am a wife and mother to three; 2 wonderful boys, 11 and 7, and a 4 year old little girl. I have my Bachelors in education, which I now apply as a homeschooling mom for the past 6 years. It was during my first pregnancy, that my passion began for all things maternal and parenting. As I continued to "unofficially" support friends and family over the following years, I came to realize that there was a great need for this role and God placed a fire inside of me.
I am a huge advocate for body autonomy, self-education and advocacy, breastfeeding, building community, personal and medical freedom, and strong families. I am a very naturally-minded and holistic woman and I love being able to bring this into my practice to teach and encourage parents to reclaim overall health and wellness.
As your doula and birth keeper, I am your person and friend to go to for discussing information, someone to help prepare you in your journey, a listening ear, a voice to encourage you and help you find your voice, a hand to walk you through your unique journey, and whatever you may find you need.
I am here to inform, empower, and support YOU.
You are the parent. This is your journey.
I'd be honored to come alongside of you and I look forward to speaking with you.

What are Transcend Families saying?"I knew from the second that I saw Hannah’s Instagram and website that she would be perfect fit for me as my doula. After talking to her on the phone my feelings were even more confirmed. From pregnancy, to the birth, to postpartum she offers never ending support. I was beyond impressed by the education she provides for her clients to help them have informed consent when it comes to any decision they have to make. Hannah always made sure that I felt heard, seen and as the mother that I was the one in charge. When to came to the birth I wanted a more hands off approach, she had no problem with that but as soon as I needed her for support she jumped right in. Her presence is always calm, confident, and warming. You can tell how much her heart is fully in this and as someone who also feels called to birth work she is a true inspiration. She was such a gift to have in my birth space and I can say with confidence that you will not regret having her in yours. Love you Hannah!" ~Sarah O. |
