Hi! My name is Maggie and my yoga practice began at age 3. Three months after my son’s birth I began a 200-hour yoga teacher training. That was in 2017, and I have since taught hundreds of hours of yoga and meditation in both virtual and in-person spaces to a diverse array of humans. Mahala Care was born out of a calling to work with other parents and parents-to-be, and has grown my practice into labor and postpartum doula and education services. As an EMS practitioner as well, I am intimate with both in- and out-of-hospital settings, and work with you to support your truest needs and goals in every settings.

I come from farm and culinary backgrounds, as well as multiple generations of teachers, and have worked as a substitute public school teacher for over half a decade now. With all these experiences I learned (and continue to learn) situational awareness, active listening, the maintenance of calm in chaos, and the vital importance of sharing knowledge and food.
