Mariya Charlton
Holistic Birth Doula
Hi! I’m Mariya Charlton and I have had the honor of walking alongside mothers as a Doula for the last 4 years. I have two children of my own, one born in a hospital and the other at home. I believe that women have everything they need already inside of them to safely bring their babies into the world. To respect each mother’s sacred birthing space, I follow her lead. When appropriate, I also incorporate my spinning babies and massage therapy training. I attend home births, birth centers, and a limited amount of hospital births. I’m passionate about educating and advocating for my clients and creating opportunities for community with other mothers in Austin.
