About Me

Hi There!
My name is Hannah and I am the founder of Transcend Maternal Services. I am a certified fertility, birth, and postpartum doula as well as a breastfeeding and childbirth educator. 

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.

Pregnancy, birth, 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 need is hard to find. A doula steps in to foster the first steps to getting back to this.

I am a wife and mother to three; 2 wonderful boys, 7 and 3, and a little girl as of May 2020. I have my Bachelors in education, which I now apply as a  homeschooling Momma. 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 in our area.

As your doula, I am your go-to support person for discussing evidence-based information, someone to help prepare you in your journey, a listening ear, a voice to encourage you and help you find your voice, and a hand to walk you through your unique journey.

I am here to inform, empower, and support YOU.

SUPPORT

Informational Support

As your doula, I am here to present evidence-based information to assist you in making an informed decisions in regards to your body and your baby. I also use various outlets to keep you up-to-date with new resources that can help you through your pregnancy, birth, and beyond.

Physical Support

I offer physical support for you during your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. During pregnancy, we discover and practice various hands-on techniques to help you during labor. During birth I am there to support you whether it is physically being near throughout, practicing pain relief techniques, or a hand to hold. During your postpartum period, I am available to help you and baby based upon your needs. 

Emotional Support

Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum can be an emotional rollercoaster- with all the great parts and scenic views and the low parts where you are still waiting for part of you to catch up. I am here to simply be a listening ear. I am here to offer words of encouragement when you just can't find the good yourself. I am here to let you know that you are not alone.
