Dedicated, one-to-one support through pregnancy, birth and after birth with experienced doulas.
you're allowed to want more than a healthy baby. It's possible to have a birth way beyond the mainstream experience, without risking your safety or your baby's.
After supporting more than 100 families during the last ten years, I've come to understand what creates a safe, calm birth, and what gets in the way.
It comes down to two things: knowing which information matters and what is just noise, and feeling safe enough to trust yourself even during unexpected twists and turns.
Doula support is one of the most researched interventions in maternity care and continuous support is associated with:
a higher likelihood of spontaneous vaginal birth
fewer negative birth experiences
higher breastfeeding initiation
and a significantly lower risk of postpartum depression.
None of this is about luck or fluff but about what happens physiologically when a woman feels safe, informed, and supported through pregnancy and beyond.
praise
“Do yourself the most valuable favour of your pregnancy and work with Anna. You won’t regret it. You’ll come out feeling stronger, with a deeper trust in your own ability and a real understanding of what’s ahead. This kind of support is something every pregnant woman deserves.” M.L
The birth was incredible, I gave birth without pain relief, in water at the hospital, and caught him myself. It was the most powerful experience of my life. I felt so safe and strong, and so much of that came from everything I learned through working with Anna. D.S
You're here because you've already decided this birth will be more than medically safe.
Imagine that :
You know how to navigate the system without being overruled, even if there’s unexpected twists.
You have a birth plan that reflects your wishes and protects your voice, without creating conflict with the staff.
Your partner knows what to do and say, not just to “be supportive, or give massage” but very doable techniques and exercises that will make you feel like a team and will help your birth process.
You know how to listen to your intuition when making decisions.
It’s not that you’re missing information, you have plenty. What you’re missing is someone as invested in your birth as you are, someone to help you sort through it and find what’s actually true for you.
Your partner cares, but is not the one lying awake working through every decision in advance.
Do you wish there was someone to call when you don’t know if an induction is right for you, or which preparations will actually make a difference?
Well, there is!
this is for you if
⇒ You’re the one who usually holds everything together, and you don’t want to be the only one carrying this.
⇒ This isn’t your first birth, and you don’t want to repeat the last one.
⇒ You’re a first-time mom, so you don’t have a reference point yet. You want to know what’s actually normal, not just in theory, but when it’s happening to you.
⇒ You want the first weeks at home to be about resting and bonding more than survival.
⇒ You’re giving birth away from home, in a system that isn’t the one you grew up with, and you’d rather ask someone who already knows how it works than figure it out as you go.
The medical care don't have the capacity for the support you need
You've asked your questions, gotten the standard reassurance, and left with the same worry not fully processed.
So you stop bringing it up, don't want to be too demanding. You tell yourself it's probably nothing, or that you'll deal with it when it happens.
Instead, learn how to get the most out of your check ups and have your doula help you process and unpack the information.
You don't have to figure this out alone.
Instead of collecting and sorting through nformation I'll help you be Birthwise™:
knowing what information matters, listening to your intuition, comfortable asking for what you need and walking into birth and motherhood trusting your own judgement.
There are four rooms I'll walk you through:
WHERE YOU ARE NOW
the ground
You’ll go from not knowing what information to trust, how to make decisions, how the birth will make you feel and if you’ll be able to handle the intensity This is where we’ll ROOT you in self trust through unpacking the cultural stories you've absorbed about birth and map out your wishes. This is also where you and your support person will align your ideas and start preparing as a team. We look at the hormones and phases of labor as a process your body already knows and we talk about what gets in the way of trusting that.
the map
We’ll ditch the belief that if you just go with the flow during birth the hospital staff or midwife will help you through it. Here we’ll make a plan around your wishes and your body’s physiology. We’ll uncover what to expect during birth in the different stages, how you might react, what helps and what happens in your body and mind. Everything we do is preparing you to let go and step into the unknown that is the birth.
the voice
We talk about how to navigate the system without losing your voice, how to make sure you’re listened to even when the room feels rushed, and what to do when someone tries to override a decision that’s important to you.
Your partner (If there’s one) gets hand on tools for protecting your space, reading the room, and knowing exactly what to do when you need them the most.
This is where we work with your intuition as a tool, so that when a decision needs to be made during birth, you can hear your own voice.
the nest
After birth you will have descended and risen from the underworld, this is where you RETURN. We will meet this in all its beauty and pain and at the same time prepare you for the very physical reality of the first weeks after birth. This is where I help you feed, sleep and rest in the way you see fit for you and your family, rooted in your and your baby’s evolutionary expectations of closeness and attachment.
You’ll able ask about an issue and get support and feedback right away so you don’t have to second guess yourself.
With the right support, nutrition, and care, the weeks after birth can be a period of deep healing rather than survival mode.

WELCOME. I'M ANNA.
Doula, birth educator & founder of Motherland.
At the core of everything I do is the belief that women need information and continuous support to feel a sense of agency and self trust through becoming a parent. Because your birth experience, not just the outcome, matters for your future health and your relationship to yourself and your family.
That’s why Motherland exists.
I work with a small number of women at a time for you to feel intimately held. This is me:
- Mother of three.
- Over a decade of experience supporting women through birth, pregnancy and postpartum.
- Doula educator and mentor.
- Certified Birth Educator & Mentor through Birthing From Within, US.
- Certified Lactation Consultant through Amningshjälpen.
- Trained in Birth Without Fear methodology.
I live in Andalucia, Spain with my family but originally from Stockholm, Sweden.
you will:
— Walk into your birth knowing what to expect and what to do if it doesn’t go to plan.
— Have a birth plan that actually reflects your wishes and protects your voice, without creating conflict.
— Your partner knows what to actually do and say to really be helpful, especially during the first stages when you’re at home.
— Understand the difference between fear and intuition and know how to listen to your own voice.
— Feel prepared for the pushing stage and know how to reduce the risk of tearing.
— Know how to navigate the system without being overruled.

— Enter the first weeks as parents knowing what you and the baby needs.
Q&A.
Can I use my swedish "friskvårdsbidrag?" ▼
Yes! Make sure to ask your employer but generally yes.
When should we start? ▼
To make the most out of our time, I recommend before pregnancy week 30. Support is available from week 25 onwards. Joining later in pregnancy? There is still so much we can do together! Birth support, a clear plan, and someone truly in your corner even in the final weeks.
What if I give birth early? ▼
I'll do my very best to support you whenever you give birth, in the unlikely event of me not being able to offer support during your birth I will refund you for the birth part of the investment. Pease read the full terms here https://www.motherlandbirth.com/terms-conditions/
Can my partner get support as well? ▼
Absolutely — and I encourage it. Your partner's role during birth matters more than most people realize, and our 1:1 chat are a great place to work through that together.
How and where do we meet? ▼
We communicate via Telegram — voice messages, videos and text. I respond once a week, and from week 37 within 24 hours. During active labor I respond within 30–60 minutes during the day. No appointments and no scheduling needed.
Is everything confidential? ▼
Yes. .
How do I make sure we are a good fit? ▼
You're welcome to book a free 20-minute call to ask questions and make sure this feels right for you. I also offer a 14 day money back guarantee if you book support before pregnancy week 35. No questions asked! I want you to feel completely safe with your doula support.
Can I extend support after the first week postpartum? ▼
Yes — you can extend week by week. Because the fourth trimester (first three months with baby) deserves as much care as everything that came before.
What language do you work in? ▼
I work in both English and Swedish, whichever feels most natural to you.
When is the right time to reach out during labor? ▼
AWhenever you feel you need to. There's no such thing as reaching out too early or too late. If something feels off, or you just need someone to talk it through wit, I'm there.
