The best doula relationships are built on connection

From our first conversation, my goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable asking every question, sharing every concern, and showing up exactly as you are. I'll walk beside you with evidence-based guidance, honest support, and the reassurance that you don't have to navigate pregnancy, birth, or postpartum on your own.

Maggie was such a pleasure to work with! She did an amazing job of helping us come up with a birth plan and was very knowledgeable and supportive throughout my pregnancy journey. When it came time to head to the hospital, Maggie was ready to help in any way that she could. Although I ended up having a c-section, Maggie made sure that my room was comfortable and cozy for when I got out of the operating room. She was there to provide emotional support during a stressful and traumatic time and I couldn’t have imagined going through it without her. She came back to the hospital the day after my baby was born to check in and even snap a few photos for us. I absolutely loved working with Maggie and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula!

We love Maggie!  She was a lifesaver for us during the newborn nights for our children.  She always shows up on time, is a great communicator, follows through on her commitments, and is just the sweetest, kindest, gentlest spirit for our children to be greeted by during middle of the night wake ups.  She helped up transition sleeping schedules and feeding schedules so we could help our children sleep through the night as soon as they were ready.  We fully recommend her!

Maggie is absolutely amazing!!! She is extremely knowledgeable and goes above and beyond for her clients. She helped me navigate the many obstacles of life with a newborn, including feeding issues, keeping up with household duties, sibling dynamics, and my transition back to work. Most importantly, she made sure that I felt taken care of and made my mental and physical wellbeing a priority. You can tell she truly cares and has a passion for helping others. I could not recommend her enough!

Working with Maggie was one of the best decisions I made for the birth of my second child. She provided thorough education and emotional support during my pregnancy, and during labor she was an incredible advocate. Her calm demeanor, hands-on support, and confidence helped me navigate an unmedicated birth feeling supported and capable the entire time. I was a little nervous preparing for an unmedicated birth, but once I found Maggie I felt a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. She helped me make the best decisions for me and my baby along the way and I'll always be for grateful for her assistance in that experience. I highly recommend Foothills Birth Journey for any doula needs!

Maggie was a huge help to our family when we welcomed our first baby. From working with him at night during the first few weeks of life to helping us navigate the transition going back to work, she was knowledgeable, warm, and caring the whole way through. Our baby loved his time with her, too - she is great with little ones and moms alike. Thanks, Maggie!
