Different lives — identical words.
More tools, more voices, more information than any generation of parents has ever had.
Anna spent two decades supporting families in their perinatal journey. Dr. Mona spent a career making expertise trustworthy and safe. Different paths, one conclusion — so we built something different.
Spelled differently on purpose: there are as many ways to parent as there are ways to move through the world. Your identity matters — before baby, after baby, always.
A dentist, educator, and mom of two. Dr. Mona is a partner at HealthCareer Certs, a nationally recognized healthcare education company serving thousands of students a year. A world traveler across seven continents and 52+ countries — her first child visited 24 by age two — she’s lived her belief that parents don’t have to give up who they are to raise their kids.

A birth and postpartum doula and childbirth educator, Anna founded Chicago Family Doulas — the largest doula agency in the world — and Birth & Baby University, training thousands of doulas and supporting tens of thousands of families.
A dentist and healthcare educator, Dr. Mona has spent her career turning dense, complicated material into clear, trustworthy learning — as a partner at HealthCareer Certs and well beyond it. A world traveler across seven continents and 52+ countries, she’s lived the belief that expertise and a full life were never a trade-off.
Both parents and lifelong travelers, they kept arriving at the same belief: families deserve evidence over fear — and no one should have to lose themselves to raise a child.
As equal co-founders, Anna and Dr. Mona created Gaux: live and on-demand classes, expert network, and a place that still treats you as a whole person.
We don’t do one-size-fits-all, and we don’t do fear.
Your parenting choices are valid.
Becoming a parent doesn’t mean losing who you are.
