Doulas bio

My journey as a doula started in 2009. I consider it an honor to be part of this intimate moment and am inspired by the growth that I see families undergo as they become parents. My commitment to you, as a doula, is to guide and help nurture your natural instincts as you prepare for birth and life with a newborn. I do this with compassion, warmth and integrity.

My practice combines a rational, evidenced-based approach to birthing with a holistic focus on the body-mind connection. I am committed to help you make decisions confidently by supporting you with evidence based information about pregnancy and birth.  I also like to encourage you to work more intimately with your body via massage therapy, conscious breathing, and other relaxation techniques. I have a deep respect for the ability of women to birth intuitively when they feel safe, loved and calm.

My certifications include:

-       Holistic Doula Certification

-       Certified Lactation Consultant

-       Evidence Based Birth Professional

-       Certified Hypnobirthing Support Doula

-       Comforting Touch Doula

 What Others Are Saying

Maya has a wealth of knowledge - she helped us understand what to expect and how to manage certain situations. She was with us throughout the lengthy labor and delivery, and saying she went above and beyond is an understatement. We cannot imagine going through this roller coaster ride without Maya by our side, and we are forever grateful for her help.

Hardly anything about my labor, birth and breastfeeding plan turned out the way I had hoped - except for you. You are everything I ever dreamed of for my doula! Your warm heart, intelligence, and steady presence have been so appreciated.

- Cazzie and Gerardo

Maya was a fantastic doula and someone I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for an insightful and calming presence to assist with their birth. Maya was an amazing resource to have to answer all of our questions. When our birth didn’t go according to “plan” and we ended up needing to have an unplanned c-section, I was glad to have Maya with us. Both my husband and I were a bit anxious about the turn of events, but Maya’s calming presence brought us both back down to earth and helped us to enjoy the moment for what it was. It was also so nice to have her stay by my side while I was in post-Op so my husband could go spend time with our son in NICU. She was so caring and helpful throughout the whole ordeal and I am eternally grateful she was part of our birth team.”
