Anna Belanger graduated from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy (WCCMT) in British Columbia. Her intense training with WCCMT allowed her to work in BC Women’s hospital with high risk pregnancies, post c-section and routine births, along with volunteering in the limited access ward for special case pregnancies. This experience is what drove her to open her own clinic dedicated to women in their birthing years. Anna has also completed her DONA International (Doulas of North America) certified training for birth and postnatal doula services.
Within her professional career, Anna has worked with women going through IVF and understands the physical and emotional tolls it takes on the body. She has also experienced treating pregnant women with other challenges, such as gestational diabetes, multiples, myasthenia gravis, scoliosis and other unique circumstances.
Throughout Anna’s career she has been well known by local birthing hospitals, midwifery clinics, obstetrics offices and yoga studios. Her personal practice has always been regarded as a special place for women to come, relax and feel safe with their treatments. Anna’s passion and dedication is a warm and comforting experience for all expecting moms.
As an experienced RMT, Doula and mother of 4, Anna brings the confidence, comfort and support most women need at this time in their lives.
