Who We Are 

Hi! I am Anna Snyder, owner and founder of the Awe + Wonder Co. I was born and raised in Ringgold, Georgia. We still currently live in our hometown and wouldn't trade it for the world. I am married to my high school sweetheart, Blake and we are blessed with our sweet little, Corrie Elizabeth who is now almost 2. I am a pediatric occupational therapist assistant who worked in pediatrics for over 4 years. Therapy was and still is a passion of mine. I feel like God lead me to therapy very early on and those stepping stones have guided me to where I am today. As a feeding therapist, I ALWAYS remember saying... "if only I had the right tools to help make feeding easier for these kids." My wheels were turning and I knew the Lord was creating a path to put me there, it was just going to take some time. After having Corrie Beth, I thought I would be the mom who went back to her full time, 40+ hour a week job resuming what I had worked so hard to accomplish throughout college. Well, that idea quickly changed the minute I laid eyes on her. Family is everything to me. I had to work & and truly enjoy working- so I only resumed therapy with a new company 2 days a week to still give plenty of time with her. I worked that job for 8 months until... things took a turn and we experienced change nationwide with the Coronavirus pandemic. 

Awe + Wonder Co. was started in August 2020 as a small Facebook group for locals. Practically overnight- it turned into so much more. Prior the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, I was practicing as a pediatric occupational therapist assistant in the private school system in Chattanooga, Tennessee. When schools were closed, I was out of a job. Due to childcare issues in regards to the pandemic, I had no where to send Corrie who was only 9 months old at the time. I was a breastfeeding mama who was determined to see that out as long as possible. With lots of prayer, I took the leap and started this journey... and boy am I glad I did. I wear may hats now. Following starting Awe + Wonder, I also became a Birth Doula and Certified Peer Lactation Counselor and as crazy as that sounds, all of my hats and jobs that I pursue, are all intertwined. So now, i'm able to combine my love for therapy by offering these AMAZING feeding products designed for ALL children and all different stages of development, help empower mommas during the birthing process AND help them reach and overcome obstacles during the breastfeeding process. It is the most rewarding things I have ever done. 

So here we are.

Now, in our spare time we love to travel, spend time with family and friends, go to church, go to the lake, ride four-wheelers & dirt bikes, and watch college football (GO DAWGS!)

 

It's been an adventure, that's for sure. And to be honest, it's just getting started. I know there will be obstacles, I know there will be trials, and I know there will be times I fail... but there is the power of prayer in all things and the Lord believes in me as much as I believe in him and for that I am forever thankful.
