I'm Anna
I am a birth and postpartum doula, lactation counselor, mother of three, Birthing From Within mentor, and the founder of MOTHERLAND™
I’m here to help you give birth the way you long to. And to cheer you on in daring to dream bigger than you thought you were allowed to.
Birth is one of the most significant experiences of your life. It has the potential to both heal and hurt. I’ve spent many years trying to understand why some births become empowering, extraordinary experiences, and why some don’t.
Everything I’ve learned along the way lives in the support and education I offer today.
I share what I know for parents who long to give birth from their own strength, whatever that birth looks like, and for those who want to step into parenthood trusting their own ability.
A mother who feels held through birth carries that into everything that comes after. Her confidence, her bond with her baby, her relationship.
That’s why this work is so foundational.
Back then there was not a huge birthing community where a lived and I didn’t know anything about doulas och birth support.
When I expected my second baby I wanted to feel prepared in a whole different way, I wanted the birth to be a great, empowering experience, not just something I would get through.
I read, studied, listened to everything I could around birth and certified in my first doula education.
I spent countless hours researching and learning how to handle this birth naturally and in integrity with what felt right to me.
I had an amazing home birth with my second and a very challenging but still as empowering high risk hospital birth with my third.
Apart from this, you’ll find me pouring my heart into cooking and growing food, restoring our 1800s Swedish farmhouse and doing all things handicrafts. When I’m not in Sweden, I live in an Andalusian mountain village surrounded by kids, dogs and friends or traveling Europe.
Most days, you’ll find me walking with my pack of dogs and kids, hands in the dirt in my garden, or working to create a new kind of MOTHERLAND™ — because that’s where we can change the world.
If this resonates, you are in the right place.
For the past decade I've had the privilege of supporting hundreds of parents through pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, and the first weeks at home.
My own pregnancies and births have deepened everything I do, I've given birth in a hospital, during a planned home birth, and in what was called a high-risk birth that unfolded quietly, safely, and without intervention. I've breastfed for over ten years, through pregnancies and through life.
Since 2015 I've been a certified doula through Birth without fear and a Certified Childbirth Educator through Birthing From Within, US. I'm a certified lactation counselor through Amningshjälpen, and have trained in Spinning Babies, Hypnobirth, and herbalism.
