About Me

Bachelors of Science, Psychology

Maternal Support Practitioner

Traditional Healthcare Worker, pending

Hi! I am so happy you’re here!

I’m Madison, and I’m so honored to be part of your journey. I’m a maternal support
practitioner based in the heart of Central Oregon, but my story begins a bit further north in
Salem, Oregon, where I grew up surrounded by the world of birth work. Back then, I never
imagined it would be my path, but life has a funny way of guiding you where you’re meant to
be. Now, I’m here, supporting families through one of the most transformative experiences
of their lives.

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, which helps me better understand the mental and
emotional aspects of birth. I’m also a certified Maternal Support Practitioner through Bebo
Mia and currently working on my Traditional Healthcare Worker certification, which will
allow me to accept insurance in the future. Education is a big part of what drives me — that,
and my deep passion for birth advocacy. My goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-
based care while ensuring everyone feels heard and supported.

I’m especially passionate about birth advocacy and helping bridge the gap for those who may
face birth injustice. Everyone deserves to feel empowered and respected throughout their
birth experience, and I strive to make that a reality for all the families I work with.

When I’m not supporting families, you can find me crafting, exploring the beautiful
outdoors of Central Oregon, or out driving my Subaru to the thrift store. I love getting
outside, slowing down, and enjoying the little things that make life special.

Whether you’re planning a birth at home, in a hospital, or somewhere in between, I’m
excited to support you- and I’m here to help ensure you feel heard, empowered, and fully
supported on your journey. Let’s make your birth experience one that you’ll look back on
with confidence and acceptance.

FAQ

Doula? Midwife? What is the difference?

A doula provides emotional, physical, and informational support during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. They offer comfort measures and guidance but do
not provide medical care.

A midwife is a trained healthcare professional who provides medical care throughout pregnancy, labor, and postpartum, including monitoring health,
delivering the baby, and managing any complications.

In short, doulas focus on support, while midwives handle medical tasks and care.

My insurance does not cover a doula. What now?
