Hi, I’m Anna. I am a birth and postnatal doula as well as a registered Osteopath.

I am passionate about helping you navigate the transformative journey of birthing your baby and becoming a mother/parent. I strive to blend the ancient wisdom surrounding childbirth with modern scientific knowledge.

Over the last decade I have dedicated my time to supporting women and families perinatally as a (cranial) osteopath, birth and postnatal doula, student midwife, antenatal educator and breastfeeding supporter.

I had an early introduction to holistic approaches to health and disease, growing up in a family of art therapists in a country with one of the healthiest maternity care systems in the world. My interest in bodywork started when I spent a year in India & South East Asia in my late teens, exploring and studying Shiatsu. I soon embarked on the four-year integrated Master’s degree course at the European School of Osteopathy in Kent where I also ended up discovering my passion for birth work, inspiring me to become a Doula. The first birth I attended beautifully confirmed that I was on the right path. I briefly pursued a midwifery career at Brighton University in 2020. The experience provided invaluable insights into NHS maternity care from multiple perspectives and helped clarify my role and qualities as a doula/birthkeeper.

Combining my knowledge, skills and experience I offer bespoke Doula care packages, tailored to meet the unique needs and wishes of you and your family. More info on my website www.annaziskoven.com.

As an osteopath I can offer relief for pains, aches and discomfort, but also a space to rest and restore, to find a still-point in our fast-paced lives. The physical body is a part of the whole person within a bigger picture. It accompanies us in all phases, transitions and initiations of life, where we face different experiences, challenges and joys. On the way, I love to offer you a space for healing, support, empowerment and wellbeing.
