Maggie is one of the most kind and tenderhearted people I have ever met in my life. As I was nearing the end of my third pregnancy, I was expressing to Maggie that I was a bit nervous about the labor and delivery. Maggie immediately offered to attend my birth! She was not a doula at the time but she said that she had always dreamed of attending a birth. As I hit 42 weeks, my midwife said I had 4 hours to give birth to my baby or I had to be transferred to the hospital so we did some things to get labor going and Maggie dropped her family holiday plans and came right over to help. She knew things were progressing and encouraged me even when I was in denial. She stayed with me the entire time and was such a calming and encouraging presence. It felt a little like she was reading my mind because she did things that I didn't have to ask for, which was a HUGE blessing because I didn't have that in my first 2 births. When my husband stepped in to help me, Maggie took pictures of us that I will cherish forever. She made me feel cared for. It was the beautiful birth experience that I had always wanted. After the birth, I told Maggie that she absolutely HAD to pursue being a doula because every woman should have a calming and encouraging support system like her. I am absolutely thrilled Maggie chose to pursue doula work. She is an absolute blessing and will love on so many mamas and babies!
