Anna Hurty
Blossom Founder

Picture
Anna Hurty has been active in the birth community for twenty years. She began her work in Berkeley where she helped start the volunteer doula program at Alta Bates Hospital, and worked as a doula, tour guide, lecturer, teacher, and served on several birth-related committees. After moving to Palo Alto, she founded and served as Executive Director of Blossom while continuing to teach prenatal classes and attend births. At Stanford she created and taught the first Natural Birth prenatal series and taught half-day trainings entitled Non-Medical Pain Management to third-year residents. While at Blossom, she attended Elizabeth Davis’ midwifery training and was an invited guest at Midwifery Today’s "Charting the Future" conference in Seattle. After moving to the midwest Anna became nationally certified as an EMT and worked in trauma center at Trinity Hospital.

Now back "home" in Oakland, Anna is teaching private classes, working as a doula, preparing a Blossom doula training, studying placenta encapsulation and working to perfect her bellycasting and henna belly art. She is the wife of Mark and mother of two grown sons whose amazing company she enjoys whenever possible.
