About me
I’m Hallie, the founder and CEO of Better Beginnings. My passion for supporting women and families through the incredible transformation into parenthood began with my own journey. After experiencing the challenges of the postpartum period with my first two children, I felt called to create a resource that could make this transition smoother and more supportive for others. That’s how Better Beginnings was born. Today, I’m proud to lead one of Minnesota’s premier teams for postpartum doula and lactation support. Our team is highly trained and deeply committed to providing compassionate, expert care to families during this pivotal time. As a certified lactation counselor and certified postpartum doula, I’ve spent over a decade working with mothers and families, helping them navigate the early days and beyond with confidence and reassurance. My work is grounded in both personal experience and professional expertise—I’m a mother of four, and I know firsthand how deeply the journey into motherhood transforms us. Supporting families isn’t just my profession; it’s my calling. My mission is to make quality postpartum care accessible and to create a nurturing community for mothers as they embrace each stage of motherhood and self-discovery. I’m grateful to share in this journey with you and look forward to supporting you along the way.

Ratings and reviews
Hallie was my postpartum doula for both of my births and was such a gift to our family. Even though both of my babies births went smoothly and they (and I) were healthy - those first few months of adjusting to a newborn were so overwhelming and hard. Having Hallie come in and support me and my husband was one of the best things we could have had during those early newborn days. Hallie is so gentle, kind, understanding and trustworthy. She also is very experienced in breastfeeding and helped me tremendously in my breastfeeding journey with both of my girls (but especially my first daughter when the learning curve was extra steep!). With each visit, Hallie made me feel more like myself, she helped me feel so taken care of, she listened to my concerns and worries and also helped my body rest. I trusted her completely with my babies and let he hold them while I slept - and I am so grateful for our time that we had with her. If you are thinking of hiring a postpartum Doula - just do it - it was some of the best money I've ever spent!

After a very rough postpartum period with my 1st child, I knew I needed more assistance the 2nd time around. I am so grateful to have found Hallie and Better Beginnings. They truly delivered an incredible experience welcoming my 2nd child into the world. I found their model for scheduling postpartum doula visits very easy, their pricing fair, and their commitment to their craft exceptional. Hallie and her team of doulas are top notch. I used a blended approach of morning and evening hours depending on the needs of my baby and myself at the time. Their flexibility was incredible. They also do a great job of helping to identify needs or areas for help that I would never have even thought to ask for. I used Hallie and her team again for my 3rd child and will never regret the investment I made into my postpartum period. Thank Hallie!
