Maggie
Birth Doula + Certified Lactation Counselor
Meet Maggie!
Maggie’s journey into birth work began during her college studies in global maternal and child health, where she learned how important doulas are in improving maternal and infant outcomes. That knowledge ignited her passion, but it was her own experience with a supportive doula during a challenging postpartum period that truly deepened her calling to this work.
As a Certified Birth Doula, Certified Lactation Counselor, and Certified Community Health Worker, Maggie brings a well-rounded, compassionate approach to birth support. She works with families in all birth settings, and has experience supporting families expecting twins, inductions, and both medicated and unmedicated deliveries.
Fluent in Spanish, Maggie is proud to serve Spanish-speaking families as well!
Why I became a birth doula in Milwaukee, Wisconsin…
I believe in the inherent strength of women and the beauty of undisturbed, intervention-free birth whenever possible. I also recognize that every birth is unique, and my goal is to provide the education, advocacy, and emotional support that allow families to make confident, informed decisions. My approach blends knowledge and compassion, ensuring that each birthing person feels prepared and respected, no matter their birth plan.
My background in public health gives me a deep understanding of how birth outcomes are shaped by access to information and individualized care. I strive to create a supportive, inclusive space where every family feels safe and empowered to navigate their journey with clarity. I understand the challenges of postpartum recovery, and I am committed to offering guidance beyond birth, including lactation support and community resources to ease the transition into parenthood.
A unique approach to doula work
My work as a doula is about more than just birth support; it’s about fostering lasting relationships where families feel heard, understood, and well-equipped for the journey ahead. I take the time to truly connect with my clients, ensuring that they feel prepared not only for labor and delivery but also for the postpartum experience. My bilingual background allows me to provide culturally aligned, Spanish-speaking support, ensuring that language is never a barrier to quality, compassionate care.
With experience in a range of birth settings, from unmedicated home births to hospital inductions and C-sections, I am adaptable to every family’s unique needs. I believe birth should be a celebrated and empowering experience where the birthing person feels fully supported in their choices. My commitment is to walk alongside you every step of the way, offering encouragement, advocacy, and the knowledge to help you feel confident and secure.

My husband and I had the best experience having Maggie as our doula! This was our first pregnancy and we both didn't know much about anything about the birthing process. Maggie was friendly, easily approachable, and very knowledgeable about pregnancy and especially the birth process. Having Maggie as our doula helped my husband and I be more prepared and confident in what was going on in the birthing process. She helped my husband by suggesting different ways he can support me and helped me by answering whatever questions I may have and helped me realize it was time to go to the hospital! It was a big help having Maggie in the delivery room when it was time to push. She was the extra support and encouragement that I needed to help deliver my baby boy. Maggie checked on me and my family after my boy was here and was seeing how I was doing. It's always helpful to have a friend like that. 10/10 an amazing experience having Maggie as our doula, and I'd recommend her to anyone. We plan on having her as our doula again if we have kids in the future. She helped make us feel confident and less stressed about everything!

Maggie was terrific for my wife and I. We were surprised someone like her even exists! We simply wanted someone to be a support system while also providing some guidance for our firstborn. Maggie was more than professional in every interaction, yet she also maintained a casual persona that made her relatable, which helped us develop trust with her right away. She is very knowledgeable and was able to break things down in a way that was easily understandable. She provided us with different options and routes to choose from, and she never tried to pressure us into anything and only offered advice, ideas and suggested when asked by us. I cannot speak highly enough of her. For couples who are uncertain about doulas, but would like some form of support - especially for their first-time parents - Maggie is the perfect choice.

Maggie is the best doula & birth partner I could have ever imagined! I just had my second child and second experience with a doula. Maggie truly feels like family. While I was pregnant, during labor and birth, and postpartum, she's been there for it all. So helpful, kind, caring, grounding, empathetic, there for you type soul; words really cannot explain enough. I know you will NOT regret choosing Maggie as your doula and birth partner!
