  • Founder, Birth & Postpartum Doula, Placenta Specialist, and Childbirth Educator

    I am a South Carolina Gal, rooted in the holistic journey of motherhood. With a BS in Exercise and Wellness, course work in Women's Health and a personal journey navigating health--I am all too familiar with the need for advocates and self-education. My passion goes beyond birthing rooms. This work is about creating balance, safety, and deep connection to return the birthing experience back to its rightful owners- mothers. Founding GVL Doula Besties stems from my hope to create a soulful community where doulas and mothers unite in friendship, creating a tangible impact on each other's lives amid the crazy rollercoaster of life.

    When I'm not working, I find solace in adventure, laughter and hand crafts! You will find me hiking to waterfalls with my husband of 5 years, William, spending time with friends, or cozying up on the couch to embroider.


  • Birth & Postpartum Doula and Placenta Specialist

    As a proud mother of four, I love fostering relationships, using my energy in a positive way, learning new things and crafting with my hands. We live a sort of farm-like lifestyle with large gardens, plenty of outside time, and magic.

    Being a birth and postpartum doula is my way of contributing back to my community. Supporting women through doula work is a passion of mine that comes directly from the heart. Through my own beautiful birth experiences I draw from the ancient well of female knowledge and strength to assist others in this life-changing transition. The need for support, love, and empowerment from others is critical during the pregnancy, birth, & recovery period. Being of service is very important to me and getting the chance to do this through doula work is an absolute dream.


  • Birth & Postpartum Doula

    I believe in the power of prayer, touch and being prepared for anything birth throws at you! Originally from Delaware, I was a professional dancer in NYC and Carnival Cruise Lines before moving to Charleston, SC where I met my husband, Skipper. We now live on Lake Keowee with our two pups! Movement has always been a passion of mine, after finishing my dancing career, I became a fitness instructor and specialize in pre/postnatal fitness and I am passionate about encouraging women and celebrating all that our bodies are capable of.

    I am currently in my Granny Era! I enjoy crocheting, making sourdough bread and homemade jams! I also love being in the sunshine, hiking, reading and barre workouts!

Madi, Founder: My interest in becoming a doula started in college, in my Women’s Health Class. On the first day of class, my professor said, “When I go through menopause, I’m throwing my uterus a party!”

I had never heard a woman so enthusiastic about her body in that way. Learning from her, I became passionate about the personal journey women go through to give birth and recover! Our bodies are powerful and capable. AND there are so many things women are told are just part of life that can actually be healed.

As a doula, I am able to educate families, ease the burden of household tasks, and provide emotional support as women experience bodily changes, and mentally adjust to parenthood. Giving birth is a beautiful part of life, and I am so grateful that I get to help women have the best possible experience whether that is a home birth, at a birth center, or at a hospital. Honestly, from the moment I heard what a doula was, I knew that it was made for me! Empowering women every day is a dream come true!

CLIENT LOVE: Ebony

“Madi was absolutely amazing. She understood the assignment. I would recommend her. She was so supportive and knowledgeable. We appreciate her being here through our birth experience. I appreciate her also coaching my hubby and showing him different techniques to support me properly.

I said I’m one and done lol but if there is any slip ups I would definitely have her come again!”
