Hi! I’m Maddie. However you found your way here, I’m glad to see you!
I’m a Certified Full Spectrum Doula based in San Francisco, CA. My mission is to provide people with knowledge about their body that lets them make informed and intuitive decisions about their healthcare, feel more comfortable with transformative life events, and have the tools to start getting in touch with themselves and their voice.
My journey as a full-spectrum doula began in 2015 when I first learned about the doula. I was seated at my first desk job after college and I was stunned to learn that someone like a doula existed. In my bones, I knew that this was in my future. In 2020, I embarked on the journey to become a certified doula.
I created the Connect With Your Cycle workshop to "begin with the basics". I believe learning about our cycle is a critical first step of learning to live in our bodies.
When I'm not talking about reproductive health, you'll find me in pursuit of wisdom about the intricacies of life itself. I typically have a camera on my shoulder, and try my best to capture the beauty of the world around us. I am a lifelong student of my spirituality, which I find to be a constant source of learning and growth. I'm passionate about traveling, cooking, and, above all, love — the facets of life that teach us, connecting us to both people and the Earth. I’m also an ordained minister, and officiate weddings! I love love.
Being a doula is more than a job to me; it's the very essence of my identity. My approach is firmly rooted in the values instilled during my training with Birthing Advocacy: evidence-based, free from judgment, unbiased, and trauma-informed. My ultimate aim is to prepare you for the transformative event that is birth and becoming a parent, guiding you toward an experience that's filled with empowerment through knowledge during this profound journey.
I'm based in San Francisco, CA, with strong ties to Brooklyn, NYC. Wherever you are, I'd be delighted to have a conversation with you about how I can support your journey through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
