Praise for Anja
Anja was such a knowledgeable doula! Her holistic training was invaluable to the birth process. My husband and I really appreciated her presence during one of the most personal days of our lives. I especially remember the way she applied pressure to my hips and back and helped with cooling clothes throughout. My husband was able to focus on me while she was a support to both of us. She helped us advocate for a completely natural hospital birth and everything was absolutely beautiful!

Anja provided so much knowledge about proper health and nutrition for the duration of my pregnancy. She supported and prepared my partner and I for the mental and emotional challenges that might arise during the birth. Having her present at the birth was amazing, she was so helpful and supportive throughout. We also really appreciated her postpartum care, helping us by cooking nourishing meals and cleaning.

Anja has a natural ability for connection and brings levity and honesty into her care of women. Anja brought so much knowledge and experience about women’s health, herbalism, nutrition, and mamababy care with her as a midwife apprentice. She contributed to the richness of the holistic care we provided together. It is clear that working with mothers on their journey is her passion. I really enjoy attending births with Anja. She has a natural ability to read the energy of the birth; her calm presence is reassuring and grounding and she is also very capable of reviving pep talks and increasing the energy as needed. Overall, she’s a lovely woman and a knowledgeable companion to walk with on your health and healing journey.

Work with Anja if you're truly ready to shine with vitality. She's an amazingly empathic listener with a wealth of knowledge, and her program challenged me to step into my own wellness while fully supporting my vulnerability and pain . . I learned some very basic but game-changing things, enabling me to not only lose weight and shift my moods, but to release emotional blocks and feel energized in a way I hadn't since my son was born. I can't recommend her enough.

Anja is wonderful to work with. She was very thorough in our initial consultation, and asked many excellent questions to make sure she fully understood what I was trying to convey. After our initial consultation she sent a very thorough recap of everything we discussed, which was super helpful because after a few days I had already forgotten a few details.
She also sent a wonderful self care guide. I would highly recommend Anja to anyone interesting in taking steps to improve their wellness. She makes it very clear that she works with you at whatever pace you need, only adding more information and practices when it's clear you are ready.

Anja's connection to plant medicine seeps through her words, scents, lifestyle and passion. She is a witch, herbalist, sacred birth keeper, homesteader, reader, writer, forager and an empowered woman, just to name a few.
As a practitioner Anja combines ancient knowledge that rests in her bones with the teachings she has gathered through an eclectic train of studies. Her offering is unique in the way that she works with the plant spirits, Ayurveda, nutrition and an understanding of individuality.
As a teacher Anja spreads her wisdom from an authentic place of experience. Her passion to spread healing and wellness shines through in her humble ways of teaching. Even just sipping a cup of tea (homemade blend by her of course) I learn so much in casual conversation. A truly magical woman who I respect and cherish.
