bio summary
Hi, I'm Maya! I am a full-spectrum birth and postpartum doula and a proud mother of two. For the past eight years, I have had the privilege of supporting families through every stage of their journey—from pregnancy and birth to those tender first months at home. Before becoming a doula, I spent several years working as a labor and delivery nurse, an experience that deepened my love for walking alongside families during such a meaningful season of life. Supporting parents as they welcome their children is truly my calling.
I believe every family deserves to feel informed, respected, and genuinely supported, no matter how their birth unfolds. My approach is warm, evidence-based, and personalized to your unique needs and goals. Whether you are planning a medicated hospital birth, an unmedicated birth, a home birth, or anything in between, I will meet you exactly where you are, without judgment and with steady, compassionate presence every step of the way.
On a personal note, I live with my husband and our two children, who keep our home full of energy and laughter. When I am not with families, you will usually find me in the garden, baking with my kids, or out on a long walk. My goal is to help you feel seen, empowered, and capable as you move through pregnancy, birth, and the transition into parenthood.
My philosophy is rooted in meeting families where they are and providing steady, compassionate support through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. As a mother of two, I understand firsthand that every pregnancy, birth, and transition into parenthood is different. That lived experience deeply informs how I support families, with empathy, flexibility, and respect for each family's values and goals.
I take a holistic, evidence-based, and trauma-informed approach, focusing on education, emotional support, and advocacy so parents feel confident making informed decisions. During birth, I aim to create a calm, grounded presence while supporting both physiological and medical births. In the postpartum period, I prioritize rest, recovery, emotional well-being, and practical support to help families adjust smoothly and feel supported as they settle into their new rhythm.
Overall, my goal is to help parents feel seen, empowered, and capable as they move through pregnancy, birth, and the transition into parenthood.
