#170 Anna is a qualified Doula, Hypnobirthing Practitioner and mama of 3 little boys aged 3, 5 and 7. They have been living in Byron Bay since 2012. Anna started Byron Babymoon 3.5 years ago with the goal to empower women and their partners to see birth as a transformational and life changing personal journey rather than a medical event whereby one looses power over her body and choices. Anna trained as a psychologist and understands the influence of our mind during birth and the importance of mental wellbeing during pregnancy and parenthood
