About me

My name is Maggie Mau, and I am a mom of two girls and one very sweet rescue pup, Hopper. My partner is a longtime teacher for Saint Paul Public Schools and we have lived in the South Como neighborhood in Saint Paul for the last 15 years! As a family we enjoy camping, hiking and exploring our country’s beautiful national parks. It is not odd to find us hammocking up at Como park, picking mulberries and reading :) I enjoy running, gardening, reading and baking and hosting regular gatherings of family and friends. I have been in the Twin Cities nonprofit sector my whole career, and the passion that I feel for the success of individuals and families in our community is now being carried forward in a different, but equally important way – through the support and empowerment of families as they navigate their birth journeys. I believe in leading with empathy and deep listening, in order to best support families to create their own powerful birth experiences. I feel humbled and honored to be able to share space and offer support to you - the amazing parents and parents to be!

Frequently asked questions

Why choose a birth doula?

You don't have options if you don't know what they are. As a doula, my job is to be your birth detective - to help you know all your options, and to help you advocate for yourself and your baby, and arm you with the best possible information available to you.

When should I hire a doula?

It’s never too early! Ideally, you would hire your birth doula by the beginning of your third trimester, but it’s good to start interviewing birth doulas during the second trimester so you have plenty of time to determine who is the best fit.

When will you join me in labor?

I prefer that you call me when you think you are in labor, even if you do not yet need me. I can answer questions and make suggestions over the phone. We will decide if I should come right then or wait for further change. I usually need approximately one hour to get to you from the time you ask me to come. We will also decide where to meet - at your home, the hospital or the birth center. Except for extraordinary circumstances, I will remain with you throughout labor and birth.
