My husband and I had the best experience having Maggie as our doula! This was our first pregnancy and baby, 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. Thank you, Maggie!!

Maggie truly made my birth the most blissful beautiful experience. from finding out I was pregnant I really really wanted a fully natural vaginal birth. Couple weeks later, we found out that we were having twins. when I was pregnant, Maggie reached out and I ended up being her first client! I would've never guessed that I was her only client at that point, she was so knowledgeable had an answer for every question that I hado went looking for it. We had a couple of meetings prior to me, giving birth. She came over and dropped off multiple books multiple resources. What really stood out to me the most was the day I was induced. I was at MFM getting a scan and things got a little scary and I was told to go right over to the hospital I was terrified and called Maggie absolutely sobbing and she met me at the hospital within 30 minutes of me being there gave me the biggest hug and helped me get as calm as I could. She was with me and my family every second of the way. My mom passed away when I was 12, so the idea of having my babes without my mom was a struggle for me, but she brought this peaceful motherly energy with her that really eased things for me emotionally. it was really important for me to have a female on my support team. And Maggie was really the perfect person to have there. I'll be honest at this point a lot of it is a blur except the moments that Maggie was in my ear, giving me positive affermations the way she set up the room to be peacefu. I woke up from my C-section and she is just telling me how beautiful they are. after my birth, she gave me some time to settle in, but the second I was ready for visitors she was over. She dropped off some meals and still pops in to come see the babes and me. Not only do I have a doula and friend for life, but I have a friend who honestly feels like a sister after her support through one of the hardest points of my life. I truly could not recommend her enough

Maggie is amazing and a wealth of knowledge! I'm out of state (South Carolina) but Maggie was there for me throughout my whole pregnancy! Maggie helped me prepare for the unmedicated birth that I wanted by preparing a birth plan with me, sharing articles/books/podcasts/etc. She also answered many questions that I had regarding pregnancy pains and symptoms and offered guidance and recommendations. During my labor, my partner reached out to Maggie to see what he could do to further support me and help relieve some of the pain, and she provided him with counter pressure and different positions.
I truly don't think I would've gone through with an unmedicated birth without her support over the 9 months of my pregnancy. I was constantly reassured that I could do it and was given resources to educate myself and my partner.
After the birth of my son, Maggie checked up on us and offered support, advice regarding all things postpartum and breastfeeding. I cannot thank her enough and would use her as my doula again and again!

My experience with Maggie was absolutely incredible. From my pregnancy, to my delivery, and even postpartum Maggie has been with me every step of the way. During my pregnancy she helped immensely with my anxiety. During my delivery she went above and beyond to guide myself as well as my support team. I had my dad and my boyfriend, and in all honesty, they had no idea how to help me during my labor, and Maggie was constantly giving them things to do and teaching them ways that they could be involved. She was in my ear the entire time Reminding me, how strong and powerful I am giving me a sense of power that helped me push through it all. Postpartum she was and still is checking in, bringing over gifts and offering emotional support. I truly don't believe I could have had such a beautiful experience without her. She is now apart of my family, and I am so blessed to have such an amazing person involved in my life. She will be there for EVERY child I have. I will continue to recommend her to every woman I know who's expecting.
