Angela is experienced in using labor positioning to facilitate baby’s descent and birth. She also offers massage, acupressure and aromatherapy.

The calling to become a doula began with the joyful and transformative experience of giving birth to her daughter Willa Clare in 2000. Angela believes deeply in honoring and celebrating each woman’s unique journey into motherhood.

Prior to birthwork, Angela earned a Masters of Divinity at the Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, California and served as the first female pastor for four rural churches in Virginia. This experience gave Angela the ability “stand with” people in times of vulnerability and openness, providing emotional support through childbirth, illness, divorce, death of a loved one, and spiritual growth. She also has professional experience as a social worker and Waldorf preschool assistant teacher.

“Angela was a large part of my success in experiencing a safe and natural childbirth. I have come to know Angela as an insightful, caring, sensitive, loving and nurturing person. She inspired me and helped me to feel confident and excited about the imminent birth of my baby.” ~Eliza Drewa, former doula client and mother of Paulette
