Maia Díaz

As an aspiring performing artist in NYC following college, Maia (she/her) made her living for several years as a nanny. She helped raise 3 beautiful girls from birth until the eldest was 8 years old, and the youngest was 2. Through nannying, Maia discovered her love for infant care and passion for child rearing. She witnessed first hand the profound physical, mental and emotional changes that take place for the mother and family during the postpartum period.

Those magical years led her to pursue a career in labor support, postpartum and childcare. Her experience giving birth to her own daughter in late 2022 only intensified her passion, and she feels a profound connection to, respect for, and obligation to support all birthing people every step of their journey.

Maia’s first love since childhood was singing! She believes that there is music to be found in everything, including childbirth, as we tap into the rhythms, motions and sounds of contractions.

–

My passion for labor support comes from a place of absolute wonderment and awe at what our bodies are capable of, and the belief that pregnancy and childbirth can and should be an incredibly empowering experience. Whether via c-section, induction, medicated, unmedicated, no two birthing experiences will be exactly the same, and at the end of the day, to help bring babies into the world and empower birthing people to do so confidently is both a privilege and an honor.

“Maia was an amazing night doula for us. She was proactive, responsive, and self-sufficient. We call her ‘Magic Maia’ and always looked forward to the nights she was going to be taking care of our son. We knew he would be well taken care of when she was around. She always communicated what happened throughout the night and made great suggestions to help with bottle feeds. If our needs ever change or if we have another baby we hope she will be available to help us again!” - Kelley G
