About Me
Mariya Charlton – Ceremonial Birth Doula
Guiding Women Back to Themselves Through Birth
Hi, I’m Mariya — a mother, bodyworker, and birthkeeper passionate about helping women reclaim the sacred rite of passage that is childbirth.
With years of experience supporting women in hospitals, homes, and birth centers, I bring a unique fusion of traditional healing practices, evidence-based education, and deep intuitive care. My work honors both the primal power of birth and the gentle art of surrender.
I specialize in home births and birth center deliveries for families seeking a calm, grounded, and minimally interventive birth experience. If you’re planning a hospital birth, I offer education and resources, or I can refer you to another doula I trust deeply.
What I Offer:
My doula support blends traditional knowledge, physical comfort techniques, and ceremonial practices to create a deeply personal and grounded birth experience. I don’t just show up—I walk with you from the first contractions to the first cries.
