About Doula Mary
Mary & daughters,
Emily and Natalie

Mary's passion is to support and enhance the development of a loving, bonded relationship between the newborn and its parents.
She does this by bringing into the family's home her knowledge and experience, and a willingness to serve in many different capacities.
Her goal is for new parents to gain confidence in themselves as she encourages them to trust their own instincts and abilities.

In Breastfeeding Support, her intention is to guide, to assist, to support, to listen, to help with breastfeeding, and to supply resources whenever needed or wanted. Ultimately, the goal is for parents to gain confidence in themselves and to trust their own instincts and abilities.

Prior to her journey into helping new families, Mary had a successful career as an independent paralegal specializing in family and estate planning, and, previously moving from Huntington Beach to The Valley, as a Realtor.

Mary has 2 grown daughters to whom she was a stay-at-home mom, soccer mom and Girl Scout leader, (she can still bleed green when she is out hiking or kayaking.)
She lives up in Box Canyon with her husband, Tony and golden doodle, Xena.

Mary is a member of CAPPA, with whom she is pending certification for both her PPD and CLE, DONA and Doula Association of Southern California. She is also affiliated with Birth and Beyond in Santa Monica, California, as well as West Valley Doulas, an affiliation of both labor and postpartum doulas on the West End of the San Fernando Valley.
