Maddie Leavell - Birth & Postpartum Doula

About Maddie

Hi! I’m Maddie, a local birth and postpartum doula serving the general Marion county area (and some surrounding locations). I've been in the birth work field for 3 years now and feel honored to have supported the 20+ individuals and families through their pregnancy, delivery and postaprtum time. I feel it really is a blessing being able to support you through one of life’s most profound experiences. My mission is to provide compassionate care and reliable information during your pregnancy, labor and early postpartum period, ensuring that you feel supported and empowered every step of the way. Every birthing person deserves a steady hand and a listening ear, and I am committed to making my services accessible to everyone, regardless of financial barriers. Quality support should be a universal right, and I strive to ensure that all who need it can receive it. My approach to doula support is deeply informed by both my personal experiences as a mother and my professional training. I completed my training with Mothertree Birth Services under the guidance of Jesse Remer, and this blend of knowledge and lived experience allows me to offer you both expert guidance and heartfelt empathy. I look forward to the opportunity to walk alongside you, providing comfort, support and advocacy as you navigate this transformative time!

Birth Doula Package

As your birth doula, I’m dedicated to providing supportive care throughout your birthing journey.

During labor, I’ll provide continuous, personalized support, offering emotional reassurance, practical assistance, and educational guidance to help you navigate each stage with calm and confidence. After the birth, I offer one postpartum visit tailored to your family’s needs.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a doula if I have a partner?

Of course! I believe Doulas aren't there to replace partners but support them, or enhance their role. Allowing them to take breaks, eat, and feel less pressure, while ensuring the laboring person has constant support.

Do doulas make decisions for me?

No. Doulas provide information and help you ask questions to make your own informed decisions, enhancing your voice in the room.

What is a postpartum doula? Can I hire one last minute?

They provide support after the birth, helping with newborn care, lactation support, recovery care, and household organization. Postpartum doulas can stay overnight to assist with feeding, diapering, and soothing, allowing parents to sleep. Yes, many postpartum doulas offer on-call services if they have availability.
