Hi, I’m Anna

I’m a disability doula and transition coach.

I want becoming and being disabled to feel like coming home to a loving, creative community rather than something that is scary, isolating or shameful.

I help you integrate disability into your life through tactical support, exploring disability identity, and building support in your community.

“I would highly recommend working with Anna if you're trying to figure out life as a chronically ill or disabled person. It can be so hard to manage fluctuating symptoms on top of all the appointments and medications, but thanks to her, I feel like I have a sturdier life raft to carry me through the biggest storms. I also have more ideas about community building and examining my interests when I have the energy for that.”

Planning a COVID cautious and accessible wedding

When my partner and I got engaged, we knew we were going to get married this fall, just in case Trump was elected. We wanted to have a legally binding marriage while it was still federally recognized.
