Your Doula
Anna Chowdhury (she/her)

As a previous pediatric medical assistant, small business owner and mother of four I hold deep space for all who are preparing to bring new life into the world. I work and reside in Portland, Oregon with my partner, four children, 8 chickens and one Australian Labradoodle. I have personally given birth in a hospital, a birthing center and at home- all locations can be beautiful. I support and advocate for all family arrangements, orientation, race, religion and culture.
