Meet Maddy | Birth Doula
Born and raised in the Waukesha area, Maddy is a wife, mom, and birth doula with a calm, nurturing, and grounded presence. As the oldest of six children, she grew up surrounded by pregnancy, babies, and motherhood. Caring for others has always come naturally to her.
Maddy describes herself as organized, responsible, practical, and levelheaded. She’s an extroverted introvert who loves connecting deeply with people but is equally comfortable sitting quietly, listening, and simply being present.
Her Christian faith is an important part of who she is, along with her love for family, motherhood, and a holistic lifestyle.
Why I became a birth doula…
I witnessed my first birth when I was six years old, when my mom gave birth to my little brother at home. I was fascinated by birth from that point on. As a teenager, I was always the one listening intently when women shared their birth stories and following birth accounts online.
When I was 20, I witnessed a difficult birth where I could see that the mother needed more support. I wanted to help, but I felt helpless and unqualified to give her what she needed in that moment.
That experience stayed with me and ultimately led me to pursue doula certification. I wanted to become the person who could step into those moments with knowledge, confidence, and compassion.
There is no one “right” way to give birth.
Birth is beautifully designed and natural, but it can also be unpredictable. My own birth experience taught me that even when things don't unfold the way we imagined, we can still have a birth where we feel respected, informed, supported, and heard.
My role is to meet you where you are. I can be the quiet, steady presence beside you or step in with a strong, grounding presence when you need it. I want to understand your preferences, your personality, and what makes you feel safe so I can support the birth experience that is right for you.
More than anything, I want you to feel prepared rather than fearful, involved in your care rather than at the mercy of it, and equipped to make informed decisions, even when plans need to change.
I don't want to feel like a stranger who simply shows up when you're in labor. I want to build a relationship throughout pregnancy so that when birth arrives, you have a familiar, trusted person beside you who already knows what matters to you.
We are passionate about supporting families as they navigate their options, helping them feel informed, confident, and aligned with what matters most to them.
Families deserve care that respects their choices, honors their values, and provides the tools they need to advocate for themselves.
