Welcome

Welcome to Ancient Hearts Birth Services.  My name is Katherine Stanglin and I am a birth
doula, HypnoDoula, and Hypnobabies Childbirth Educator and I will be serving the Houston
Metroplex beginning in September
.

It is my belief that birth is a natural process and that too often, in our rush to prepare for the
baby, we forget to enjoy and marvel at the process.  It is my goal to help families slow down, to
listen for, to watch for, and prepare in a complete way for the arrival of this miracle.  This is what
I believe it means to honor the beauty if birth.

I support women and families through pregnancy, birth, and their post-birth growth as a new
family.  ♥ ~ ♥
