The face behind Wombly
Anna Georgoulas, Founder
Hi, I’m Anna!
I’m the founder of Wombly and a practicing full-spectrum doula, student midwife, and childbirth educator. I completed my formal training with Carriage House Birth following the events of 2020, and began my work attending births in both clinical and home settings as Dovely Doula.
Before birth work, I was a nanny, where I fell in love with the intelligence of newborns- their cues, instincts, timing, needs.
Just as impactful, though, was witnessing the emotional terrain of early parenthood. I noticed that with vulnerability and identity shifts came a deep need for steady support. Infant care has always mattered to me, but what keeps me around are the relationships built with families during those first fragile weeks.
That pull led me into birth and postpartum work, and eventually into full-spectrum care. Over time, I came to understand how deeply connected birth is to every other transition in life. Whether joyful or difficult, change asks for the same things: presence, care, non-judgement, and empathy. Wombly grew from that understanding. This brand was a response to the need for community care beyond a single moment in time.
The care I offer is usually raw and unglamorous, and that is where I often find it is needed most. To be trusted during moments of change- to witness people as they are, without masks- has always been my greatest honor.
Doula by day, Student Midwife by (Sleepless) Nights.
I am currently enrolled as a second-year student in the CPM program at Midwives College of Utah.
My academic focus centers Indigenous birth and reproductive health, as well as the intersections of pregnancy, birth, and intimate partner violence. I’m especially interested in how systems of care can better protect safety and autonomy for those most impacted by inequity.
Midwifery training is rigorous. It is reflective and deeply hands-on.
A student midwife’s portfolio becomes a living record of that work- it documents clinical experience, research, skill-building, and growth over time.

Beyond the Birth Space
This is me standing at the top of Haleakalā. I don’t get a ton of free time, but when I do, here are the things I get up to.
My Philosophies
On Care Work:
Care work is relational. It lives in consistency and the willingness to stay present when things are uncertain or unfinished. It is not about fixing or directing- it’s about showing up with humility and attention. Every time.
This work asks us to listen more than we speak, to recognize power where it exists, and to offer support without asking people to perform strength or gratitude. At its best, care work creates steadiness. It makes space for people to move through change in their own way, on their own terms. I believe people are fundamentally good, and that connection is key to how we live, heal, and make meaning.
On Child-Rearing:
I follow a gentle/respectful philosophy that prioritizes attachment and responsiveness while encouraging developmentally appropriate boundaries. I believe that children are whole people who deserve dignity, and that raising them is less about shaping outcomes and more about tending connection. It is my understanding that when children are met with respect and trust, they grow into themselves- not who we think they should be, but who they already are.
