Meet Maryanne
Central Willamette Birth Doula
Mayanne’s Approach to Doula Work
The birth of a child is a moment that many parents reflect on repeatedly. It’s a day filled with hopes, desires, and the aspiration for a positive experience. As a doula, Maryanne is committed to listening to the needs, concerns, and goals of each family, providing unwavering support throughout their journey. With a wealth of evidence-based knowledge, a positive outlook, and a deep passion for helping others, Maryanne is there every step of the way, ensuring a nurturing and empowering birth experience.
Having witnessed close friends navigate pregnancy and childbirth without the resources and information they needed, she became deeply aware of the over-reliance on unnecessary interventions in the U.S. birth culture. This experience sparked a strong desire to educate and spread awareness about childbirth, inspiring women to trust their bodies and shed the fear often associated with birth.
Maryannes's own birth experiences have been transformative, deeply impacting who they are and how they view the world. After the birth of their second child, she realized that becoming a doula was their true calling. It was during their own labor that they recognized how valuable it would have been to have had a supportive doula by their side. Now, Maryanne is dedicated to offering that same care and support to others, continually seeking out additional information and resources to provide well-rounded, compassionate care for each client.
