About

When I was in high school I was able to witness the birth of my younger brother. I was in awe of the process and when I returned to school and shared this my friends did not feel the same way. It was then I realized how different my upbringing in a family full of strong women who supported each other in birth was.

Doula

After becoming interested in women’s health and childbirth at a young age I thought about becoming a midwife. I decided a great first step was to take a doula training. I loved discovering my innate skills I possessed to  support women. I had all of the skills I needed to nurture women during this important time. I came away with more knowledge and lots of tools to sere women. I became a Certified Birth Doula through DONA. I jumped right in and began volunteering with friends and teen moms through TAPP in San Francisco to gain as much experience as I could. Since 2012 I have been supporting women through childbirth from Santa Rosa to Santa Cruz. 

Yoga

I have been practicing yoga for over 10 years. After taking alignment-focused yoga class I felt an “aha moment.”  I fell in love with yoga and the effects a steady practice had on my mind, body and life. This style of teaching made sense and felt safe to my body and so many others around me. I believe yoga is for every body … especially pregnant bodies!

I completed Yoga Teacher Training at Yogakula in Berkeley in 2014 and completed a Prenatal Yoga Training in San Francisco in 2016. After managing a yoga studio and teaching corporate yoga at Salesforce, LinkedIn, Nerdwallet and other Bay Area companies, my husband and I moved home to Sonoma County in 2016. I began teaching pre/postnatal yoga after the move. It is so rewarding to combine my passions for birth and yoga to support women and families.

EDUcation

I am so honored and excited to be offering childbirth education as part of my practice. I feel passionate about normalizing the birth process through education. I have completed two childbirth educator trainings through ICEA and Lamaze International and am a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator (LCCE). I offer a safe space for new or seasoned parents to learn, ask questions, practice and increase their knowledge while decreasing fear.

My family

My husband Neil and I lived in the East Bay for the past five years. At the end of 2016 we moved to Santa Rosa to be closer to family and to find a community we want to have a family in and grow roots in. I grew up in Sonoma County and my husband in Napa. We love the North Bay and live in our dream home (still a fixer) with our chocolate lab Charlie (Charlotte Bronte). We love learning how to fix up our home, traveling, game nights and dinner parties, hiking and enjoying this beautiful area. To follow along some of our adventures you can find me on instagram @maebulger.
