My Services

What can I offer you?

As a Full Spectrum Doula, Postpartum Ayurvedic Doula, Breastfeeding Professional CBP, Certified Yoga Instructor, and Mindfulness Coach, I believe that intention and preparedness allow for a sacred birthing experience. I thus work closely with my clients to understand their visions and intentions for their birth prior to labor.

My primary goal is to help prepare and support each woman and family, creating the most comfortable environment possible to birth little ones into the world knowing they are supported, and surrounded by love and compassion.

Client Stories

People often comment about both my sons' calm and benevolent disposition. I know it’s directly correlated to how they were naturally born into this world. I was so fortunate to have a wonderful doctor, caring nurses, but most of all a magical doula, Madeleine duPont. I couldn’t imagine having both my children without Madeleine's guidance, love, and support. Madi stood by me and helped me stay focused on the present moment, riding the waves and taking advantage of the recovery periods between contractions. She had set the tone from the moment she arrived, filling the room with her tranquil soundtrack, and enough creature comforts to somehow make a hospital room feel like home. When I started to feel “stuck” in the pain of it all, her soothing voice coached me through breathing exercises, and visualizations. She massaged me and encouraged uncommon laboring positions with different props to assist me. She asked meaningful questions and made suggestions that were in my best interest during each phase. She brought my focus inward with essential oils and visualization, allowing me to discover a strength I didn’t know existed deep within. Madi is truly on this earth to be a doula! Her presence during the birth of our boys was a tremendous help. Madi was very professional and nurturing throughout the labor, delivery, and postpartum. She truly went above and beyond her call of duty to help us realize our dreams. Her Ayurvedic cooking, deep listening, and wisdom nourished me through postpartum, minimizing the risk of experiencing depression. Not only was my digestive system on track from eating her food made with love, but I got to focus on connecting with my son during those critical first few weeks because I could trust that she would take care of the rest. I can’t recommend Madeleine highly enough, she is blessed with loving hands and a heart filled with empathy, everyone needs a Madi by their side during this journey.

When my husband and I found out we were pregnant for the second time, I knew I wanted a doula to support me through the experience. At the time, I didn’t know much about doula services as we didn’t explore the option with my first child. Having gone through labor once I knew I wanted the extra support. We met Madi through mutual friends and after a few conversations, I knew we wanted her to be part of our birth experience.

During pregnancy, Madi was always available by phone and email (no matter what time of day) for questions and concerns. She had many useful tools and knowledge throughout the pregnancy. Some of my favorites were - the birth intentions and guided meditation that Madi led us through.

Due to some unexpected complications, my birthing intentions changed in the later weeks of pregnancy. Madi was a huge help offering insight and knowledge of what to expect with these last-minute changes to my birth intention. I quickly realized that no matter how the baby was going to be delivered (vaginal or c-section), Madi was prepared and able to offer a great deal of knowledge. Madi was very prompt on the day of delivery, coming to the house prior to help with any last minute needs. She was a key part of my birth team, made sure I understood what the doctors and nurses were telling me, and helped me in the decision-making process. Madi was wonderful about predicting my needs and keeping me positive. On several different occasions we had to make alterations to our birth intention and Madi was instrumental in helping us come up with the best decisions along the way.

Postpartum, Madi checked-in often, making sure our family was happy and healthy. When an issue would arise she was quick to provide feedback and support. I couldn't imagine my birth without Madi by my side. She gave us much needed love and support, and many new tools to guide us into parenthood for the second time. Thanks so much, Madi!

Madi has the perfect balance of professionalism and warmth- everything you want in a doula. I felt like I was being supported by an old friend I trusted and who brought deep wisdom to our work together. I had a precipitous birth, but she was calm, grounded, and clear. I might not have made it to the birth center in time to deliver if not for her knowledge and clear communication, which helped me feel safe. Giving birth is such an intimate process and sharing this experience with Madi was a gift. I know all of the women she supports are lucky to have her. The reverence and appreciation she brings to women will ripple out in all of their lives.
