About me
I started my journey in postpartum support over a decade ago supporting pregnant and parenting teens living in a group home together. This experience laid the foundation for my love of supporting moms, and taught me the importance of community supports. After a decade long career in corporate recruiting, and my own journey into motherhood, I found myself being pulled back to supporting moms. As a mother who has navigated her own postpartum mood disorder, I am passionate about fostering connections and creating the supportive “villages” that families need. I have trained as a Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula, and over the past year, I have had the privilege of providing compassionate support to families in my community. I approach each family with warmth and authenticity, aiming to create a safe space where they can thrive. My goal is to empower families and help them navigate their unique journeys with confidence. I look forward to being a part of your family's support system as you embark on this incredible adventure.

Service introduction
I provide a comprehensive range of supportive services designed to assist families during the postpartum period. As a Newborn Care Specialist, I offer hands-on newborn care, including soothing techniques, feeding support, and guidance on infant sleep practices, helping parents feel confident and empowered in their new roles. In my role as a Postpartum Doula, I provide educational support, resources, and emotional guidance tailored to each family's unique needs. This includes assistance with postpartum recovery, breastfeeding education, and meal preparation, focusing on postpartum and lactation meals to ensure families have nourishing options during this busy time. Additionally, I offer sibling support care, helping to ease the transition for older children, and pet assistance to ensure that every member of the family feels supported. I also provide light housekeeping and run errands, allowing families to focus on their well-being and bonding with their new baby. I am dedicated to creating a nurturing environment that fosters connection, healing, and confidence for parents as they navigate this transformative journey.
Ratings and reviews
Maggie is incredible. She helped care for my newborn twins when they fresh out of the NICU and my anxiety was peak levels to say the least! Not only did she provide them with excellent care which allowed me to get some much needed rest, she also had so much knowledge to share and was so reassuring. She was not only so knowledgeable and skilled with newborn care but also about postpartum care and what I needed to be doing to take care of myself. She helped with food prep, cleaning up and just generally making sure I was taken care of as well. I could not have asked for someone better to be with me and my babies in those early days!
