Doula Services in NYC metro area

Meet Maeva & Garance!

Both originally from France, Maeva and Garance met in 2022. Sharing the same values and with a wish to support families in a way that ressembles the model of care you get in France, they decided to work in a doula partnership.

Maéva, found her passion when she trained to become a hypnotist in 2009. She decided to become a childbirth educator in 2012 and embarked on doula work when her first clients asked her to support them during labor.

After years teaching HypnoBirthing, she founded Hypno Doula Maeva & The Baby Wagon, a platform of online classes and virtual doula membership.

Garance, The French Midwife is a trained midwife, certified in France and the UK. In her 8 years practicing as a midwife, Garance has attended over 500 births, as well as working in triage and postpartum wards. She learned haptonomy, sophrology, spinning babies, breastfeeding support and pelvic floor therapy in France, but discovered hypnobirthing during her semester in London.

Through Maeva’s mentorship, Garance has developed her ability to help women in labor through hypnobirthing and mindfulness.

Together, their goal is to meet you on your journey and suport you in a non judgmental way. They strive to empower people to make birthing choices that work for them and their families.

The Doula package includes:

Birth prep with Maéva: Access to her online class Confident Birth based on Hypnobirthing and Mindfulness and attendance to an in person class when timing allows.

An in-person Spinning Babies class to help your baby get in an ideal position with a review of the techniques with your birth partner
