Anna Clarke
Postpartum Doula
I’m a CAPPA-certified postpartum doula with nine years of experience helping families across Massachusetts. My journey to becoming a postpartum doula began after the birth of my twins in 2012. While it was a time of immense joy after my infertility struggles, it came with unexpected challenges. Like many new mothers, I faced postpartum depression, an experience that opened my eyes to how crucial it is to have the right support after giving birth. Having battled the exhaustion and isolation that accompanies PPD, I believe that no new parent should have to navigate the postpartum period feeling alone or overwhelmed. I understand first hand the value of emotional and physical support during the postpartum period, and I am committed to offering the care that new families deserve.
I am also working towards my certification as a pediatric sleep consultant and am excited to help babies develop healthy sleep habits while ensuring the parents get the rest they need.
I have worked with families of various backgrounds and circumstances, including mothers recovering from high-risk pregnancies and difficult deliveries and families who welcomed multiples. I am fluent in Russian and speak some German, and love to work with multicultural families.
