About Us.
MAIA House is a gift for both families and birthworkers. It was born out of a doula’s love for her work and her partner’s love for her. Just like the title of “doula”, the word “maia” has Greek roots. It means “mother”, “nurse” but another beautiful meaning is growth/greatness. Having a baby is not just about growing your family. Pregnancy and birth present opportunities to grow as a person, to strengthen your relationship with your partner. It can be life-changing, empowering, earth-shattering; simply put, it can be great.
There is a popular saying that it takes a village to raise a baby. A more accurate version is that it takes a village to raise a mother. But a little-known truth is that a family should choose who is in their village. We have started a careful curation for our clients. Our team and our selected partners are committed to providing evidence-based care tailored to you and your family’s needs. We see the many gaps families fall through in pregnancy, birth and postpartum and we seek to bridge those gaps through continuous support. It is still your journey to walk, but we will walk beside you.
