I have a deep belief in strengthening the birthing individual and the power of informed choice. I want to help you navigate your birth journey with confidence. I understand that each birth is different, no matter if it is at a hospital, birth center, or home birth. I want to work along side you and your birth team to help you feel heard, respecting your wishes, and having your experience honored.
Hello, my name is Maddie and I am a Birth Doula. My journey began with my own doula for my first child in 2022. I grew up in a small town in the Midwest and was unsure of what it was until, believe it or not, my husband brought it up! We hired my incredible doula very late in pregnancy and, being active duty military and working in a hospital, this opened up a whole new world to me. Where I had previously worked, I had cared for my patients but not created relationships with them. I understand bringing in another support person to your birth is a big deal, and I want to build a relationship with you for you to feel comfortable enough to do so. It is important to me you feel as though you are in a non-judgmental birthing environment, feel empowered, and feel through your emotional well-being is important.
In my spare time, you can find me playing with my two kids, at the gym, spending time outside, or rewatching some of my favorite series (anywhere from Bones to Vampire Diaries). Being outside and with my kids brings my soul such peace, even in the moments when life feels so chaotic. If I could describe myself in a few words I would say compassionate, joyful, listener, encouraging, and adaptable. I’m looking forward to meeting with you and am so excited to be part of this journey!
