Who We Are
Hello!Hi, I’m Anna (yes, like the Frozen one—toddler-approved!).
Motherhood changed everything for me. It cracked me open, showed me my own strength, and gave me a front-row seat to the wild, messy, transformative whirlwind of postpartum. After walking through my own journey of labor and loss, I found myself naturally stepping into the doula role—caring not just for my friends, but somehow finding myself deep in conversation with strangers about their birth stories, too.
That’s why I created Selah Nova.
Selah (pause and reflect) the preparation, the breaths, the pauses between contractions.
Nova (new light) aka your baby.
Together, they’re a reminder that you don't have to rush through the biggest transition of your life.
When you work with me, my promise is simple: you are never alone.
I’m here to help you feel informed and confident in your choices.
I’m here to make sure your partner feels locked-in and supported as part of the team.
And when the birth is done, the visitors go home, and the postpartum hormonal rollercoaster hits harder than anyone warned you it would? I’m still here—holding space for you physically and emotionally.
Birth isn’t just a medical event. It’s emotional, fierce, and deeply yours. Whether this is your first rodeo or you're adding another seat to the family table, you deserve support that feels grounded, steady, and deeply comforting.
Take a breath. You’ve got this, and I’ve got you. Hot moms need to stick together!
Warmly,
Anna (owner and lead doula/photographer)
Selah Nova.
Our StorySelah Nova was created from a belief that birth deserves to be supported with presence, reverence, and care.
In today’s fast-paced world, pregnancy and birth can sometimes feel rushed, clinical, or overwhelming. But bringing a new life into the world is one of the most profound transitions a person will ever experience — and it deserves space.
Space to ask questions.
Space to feel supported.
Space to slow down and trust the process.
The name Selah Nova reflects exactly that.
Selah is a word used in ancient scripture that invites us to pause — to breathe, to reflect, and to be fully present in the moment.
Nova represents new light — the beginning of something powerful and beautiful.
Together they represent the moment when life changes forever: the quiet pause before meeting your baby, and the light that follows when a new family is born.
Selah Nova exists to hold that space for women and families — offering calm guidance, compassionate support, and steady presence through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
Because birth is more than a moment.
It is the beginning of a story that will shape the rest of your life.
