The perinatal period can be such a vulnerable yet exciting time as you prepare for birth, recover from delivery, and get to know your baby. I feel honored to walk alongside families as they grow, gain confidence, and step into parenthood feeling supported and empowered.
LET'S CONNECT
I’m a birth and postpartum doula with over 7 years of experience, including a specialization in twins and overnight care. I understand that every birth and postpartum journey is unique, and my goal is to meet your family exactly where you are—providing grounded, compassionate support tailored to your needs.
With a bachelor’s degree in Child Development, I’m passionate about equipping families through education, preparation, and confidence-building. Whether I’m helping you navigate labor, offering calm and consistent support in the early newborn days, or making sure you get the restorative sleep you need to feel revived, I’m here to answer questions, ease the transition, and hold space for your experience.
You don’t have to do this alone—I’m here for you and your growing family every step of the way.
Maddie is an exceptional caregiver - she helped create a supportive and nurturing postpartum environment that helped me heal after both of my c-section deliveries. She’s terrific at answering all Qs about feeding and sleep and has been a wonderful resource to our family over the years. We wholeheartedly recommend her and Expecting Joy to any family seeking a doula in the Seattle area.
