Rooted in Community
Maine is more than just a place on the map, it’s a way of life, it’s a place to belong, it’s a place where traditions matter and the fabric of families are woven…
Whether you’re preparing to give birth, or you’re navigating the early postpartum days, we know that this time in your life can come with a little bit of anxiety… We applaud you for prioritizing your needs and seeking the extra set of nurturing hands that will make a difference for you. We know that’s not easy to do. Maine is a place of strength, resilience, and natural beauty, just like the journey into parenthood that lies ahead.

Meet Natalie Grammer
Natalie is honored to support so many Maine families as they prepare for birth, welcome their babies, and navigate the wild, wonderful world of parenthood. With years of experience and a deep seeded desire to help parents feel both informed and empowered, she guides families through birth, newborn care, and (perhaps most importantly) getting everyone some much-needed sleep.
Outside of birth work, Natalie raises her two dynamic children who are already showing an interest in the birth world (whether they like it or not, lol).
