About Me
Welcome, My name is Hanna and I am the owner and founder of The Birth Collaborative. Here you will find a little more about me and my heart to work with families to have positive and joy filled births. My love for Yeshua, my husband Greg, and my two beautiful babies, embody who I am. After that natural and holistic living, and serving birth is where my passions lie. I am honored you have taken the time to be here in my corner of the internet.
I started The Birth Collaborative in August of 2019. I grew up in Columbus, Ohio, and I have been married to my high school sweetheart since October of 2016. In early 2017, I went on a health journey that forever changed my life. I began researching various diets to heal my body. Down the rabbit hole of enlightenment, I discovered the midwifery model of care as an alternative to obstetrical care, and knew this was a path I wanted to be on. After several years of questioning my calling, I finally took the plunge into birth work. My first step in the process was to become a doula. I quickly fell in love with supporting women during their crossover into motherhood. I want to do nothing more than watch women come into their power as they navigate their beautiful pregnancy and labor journey. I feel called above all else in life to be a space holder for the sacredness of birth. I believe Yah has a perfect design, and my goal is to keep honor that.
In November of 2019 we had our first miscarriage. The following December we found out we were expecting again. After a long tough pregnancy with hyperemesis gravidarum, we gave birth to our son in September of 2020. My birth did not go as planned. I had a long tough labor, with a mal-positioned baby. Our little on came out blue and unresponsive. I also had a severe laceration from his journey earthside. After a 2 week NICU stay, and during my recovery journey, I developed postpartum anxiety. It took a long time for me to feel normal again, but I've made in my life mission, to help every woman, find the strength in herself to get through what I went through, and help prevent it in any way I can. I would not change a thing about my journey, but I also hope no-one else has to experience it.
I was blessed enough to get pregnant again in January of 2022. I had a very tough pregnancy, and my strength and faith were really tested. Between starting school, severe hyperemesis and every possible home life debacle, I was not sure I would make it. But Adonai is good and I quickly delivered our beautiful daughter with no complications in November.
Well that about sums it up. I hope you feel connected to me and know that you are always loved and welcomed.I want to support you through every phase of pregnancy, labor, and postpartum, ushering in the Holy Spirit, and showering you with the love of Yeshua.
