Candi Ammermann

Hello! I'm Candi and I'm a birth doula, pre & perinatal massage therapist and bodyworker, childbirth educator, and movement specialist. I originally became a birth doula because my 3 births were incredibly traumatic and I never wanted another mom to feel alone and scared like I felt during those experiences. But having attended births since 2004, I have come to realize that birth is very different than what I originally thought. I've witnessed some of the most amazing births with the most empowered and inspiring moms. I've come to learn that birth happens best when a mom feels supported and seen, when she trusts her body and the process of birth. And I've seen how a birth affects families going into parenting - traumatized moms don't trust their instincts and look for parenting answers outside of themselves. Whereas moms who felt empowered throughout her birthing goes into parenting as a mamma polar bear - trusting in her instincts and protecting her littles ferociously. It is my heart's work to help mammas, and families, find their strength and empowerment, believe in themselves and their bodies capability to bring baby into the world, and to walk the journey with them, every step of the way.
