Grounded, intentional support to help you feel seen, heard, and empowered however your birth story unfolds.
A little about me
My name is Maddie, I’m a Christian birth doula supporting families in and around the twin cities. I started my journey to becoming a doula in 2019 when I witnessed my first birth. In June of 2025 I finished my DONA approved training through BirthED and am working to finish my certification through DONA International by the end of 2026
I feel so grateful for where my journey has already taken me. Every birth I’ve attended has deepened my passion for birth and advocacy, and grown my confidence as I continue to learn how to best support my clients. Along the way, I’ve felt God gently nudging me forward, and I’ve discovered how naturally this work aligns with my caring and compassionate nature.
My goal as a doula is to support families so they feel empowered in the birth room while working to keep trauma out of their birth story.
