Roll the dice
An ICEA-approved community doula program Maddy founded to bring real, rigorous doula support to Louisiana families, especially the families who can’t access it otherwise. Free and reduced-cost doula services, ICEA-aligned doula training, and a 16-CEU bereavement specialty.
It’s where the books, the deck, and the trainings get used in real rooms. The cesarean rate among MHN-supported births sits at 15%, well below the Louisiana state average. The training pipeline has produced 250+ community doulas trained through Maddy’s programs across her career, with Mary’s Hands Network founded March 2023 as the dedicated training nonprofit.
Pick the book you’re curious about and Maddy will email you a sample chapter so you can read the voice and decide for yourself.
