The team.
Welcome, from Natalie, founder of Maine Doulas. I’m so glad you're here!
Natalie Grammer, founder & owner
CD(DONA), HBCE, HCHD, PPS, PICD, FAMILY SLEEP COACH
Natalie Is Honoured To Be An Asset To So Many Maine Families As They Prepare, Birth, Celebrate And Settle In To Family Life. She Draws Upon Her Countless Experiences To Support Couples In Exploring The Possibilities Of Birth, Birthing With Confidence, Setting A Strong Foundation As New Parents, And Ensuring Healthy Sleep For The Whole Family.
Though she has been a doula since 2011, she founded Maine Doulas in 2015 with the late Jodi Phinney, who was a matriarch of the New England doula community.
Natalie has trained with doula organizations such as DONA, ProDoula, Birthing From Within, and HypnoBabies. After using the techniques through her first labour, she became certified as a HypnoBirthing Practitioner to offer private and group classes. She is proud to have been offered an exclusive seat at a Mommywise sleep coach training and has also trained with the International Maternity and Parenting Institute to sharpen her expertise in healthy sleep for the whole family.
She has two dynamic children who are excited to deepen their knowledge of birth and parenting as they grow. In her life before children, she trained at New England Culinary Institute as a professional chef and enjoys how cooking allows for moments of pause.
Natalie is thrilled to nurture this innovative, unique organization, and looks forward to Maine Doulas ensuring that every family can know the joy and satisfaction of growing a family with the most knowledgeable and compassionate support possible.
