  • Maya has been my dream doula! We both had a dream of my birth before it happened. And it happened just like the dreams. Peaceful, undisturbed and smooth. She arrived when my surges were so intense. Her voice and gentle touch on my shoulder calmed and grounded me.

    After birth she was very caring and checking on me, baby and playing with my 2 girls. She even took them to the park. She did more than I could ever ask.

  • Maya came to me when I was four weeks in my postpartum. I was crying in my partners arms when she was carefully entering the space, offering just to hold me as well. After my hormonal rollercoaster and myself calmed down she gave me an intuitive shiatsu massage. I felt very held by her presence, calmness and softness. Her touch was firm enough to completely let go and surrender and soft enough to feel nurtured and caressed. Time passed way too quickly.

  • Maya was born with a remarkable gift for birth work. She is highly intuitive, sensitive and attentive to the needs of women, babies and families. She knew exactly how to support me during my pregnancy, labour and post partum without any prompts from me. It comes so naturally to her. She knew when to stand back and hold space, when to lean in and offer physical support. Her knowledge of natural birth is extensive and her tool kit is broad enough to support any woman’s dream birth. Her joyful, radiant energy is such a pleasure to be around, she will lift up the spirits of all those around her. I would highly recommend Maya as a doula and free birth attendant. She is wise beyond her years!“You can really see that Maya loves what she does and is really good at it, seemingly effortless.

  • From the beginning, Maya made us feel safe, calm and reassured that the birth would unfold perfectly. As it needed to. Which it did! Maya's support has been foundational in manifesting our dream birth journey in it's fullness; pre-natal, the birth and post-partum. Her knowledge is always expandng and deepening along with the wisdom from her on-going new experiences, but above all it is the quality of her care and approach to the sacred journey that birth IS which gives Maya her special gift as a Doula, birth-guide and all-round supportive human being, and we have been blessed to have her with us on our journey into parenthood. Thank you Maya! - Thomas K Oliver
