Hey, just to introduce myself, my name is Maddy and being a Birth + Postpartum Doula is my dream role in life. I get to spend my days watching and learning from women and their families as they flourish when they have the birth and postpartum experience they have always longed for.

My true why behind this work is that I truly believe that the way we think about families and family life was always meant to be in the context of a village. In my 8 years as a registered nurse I have seen time after time the deep need for mothers especially to be surrounded by a network of other mothers as they enter in and walk through new versions of themselves and their growing families.

The power of investing in true rest to heal yourself and the vulnerability to let others care for you and your family is not easy. The modern culture often views it as a luxury. But in my years of care I have seen the exact opposite. We were made to do this together and when we do, all outcomes get better. Better births, better bonding, healthier babies, decreased risk for negative postpartum outcomes mentally and physically, tighter communities, and stronger families.

So, I’d be honored to be a small piece of your village. And be there to cheer you on as you invest in yourself, your family and your village alike. Let’s do this…together!
