Maggie
Certified Labour and Birth Doula
Maggie is a labour and birth doula certified through Birth Arts International. She is a member of the Association of Ontario Doulas. She believes each birth is sacred and that it’s an honour to help individuals and families have the most positive experience possible.
Maggie listens to what her clients have to say and follows their lead in what approach to take during labour. She brings her experience and tools to aid in each person’s comfort,
advocating and helping families find their voice if need be. Her superpower is her calm nature during labour and birth.
Maggie has worked with children for most of her life starting with teaching preschool and then teaching junior kindergarten. She is a very proud mom of three adult daughters and one beautiful baby grandson. Her passions include being out in nature, reading, and
listening to music in her spare time.
Supporting births since 1999
Maggie was the doula who attended the birth of our beautiful baby girl. After battling infertility, it was important to us that we had someone present who would help us understand our options and help to advocate for our desired birth plan. Maggie was an absolute godsend, I cannot recommend her highly enough. Maggie helped to comfort me while I was in labour, taking the pressure off my husband and helping him be present in the moment instead of being worried. Maggie is incredibly calm and reassuring, and has an excellent toolkit she brings to births to help Moms be as comfortable and relaxed as possible. Maggie was also great while I was pregnant, making herself available to answer questions and spending time with us to educate us on what to expect. If you are looking for a warm, caring and experienced individual to support you Maggie is an excellent choice. No question, if I’m fortunate enough to have another child Maggie will be at my side!
