Fixing Maternal & Child Healthcare
Mahmee unites a team of maternal and child healthcare experts behind every pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey. From prenatal check-ins to postpartum coaching, our nurses, doulas, lactation consultants, mental health specialists, nutritionists, and care coordinators form a circle of care that brings you peace of mind. By fostering health equity and ensuring joyful, healthy transitions into parenthood, we're raising the bar for what it means to give birth in the United States.
The United States faces a maternal health crisis: more parents die or suffer severe complications here than in any other developed nation. This crisis affects all families and disproportionately impacts Black and Indigenous communities, whose maternal mortality rates are 3 to 5 times higher. Education and income alone aren't enough to overcome this gap in care. But wraparound support — care that meets parents where they are and stays with them through every step — truly makes a difference.
What's in a name?
mahmee (pronounced “mom-me”) means nurturing care for the caregiver. We're here to support you so you can focus on bonding with your growing family. Our name is a nod to motherhood — how it feels, the needs it creates, and the relief that comes from having the right help at the right time.
Vision and Values
Our vision is equitable access to comprehensive maternal and infant healthcare. We're committed to ensuring all families are surrounded by wraparound support during pregnancy and postpartum.
We always find a way
We refuse to accept barriers as permanent roadblocks. Whether it's a late-night concern or a complex medical challenge, we'll do whatever it takes to make sure families get the care they need — no matter what.
We show up
We don't stand on the sidelines. We're by your side from day one, ready to listen, support, and adapt as your journey unfolds. With Mahmee, you'll never have to go it alone.
We own it
Accountability is how we build trust. We take responsibility for our actions, celebrate our wins, and learn from our setbacks. When we say we'll do something, we follow through.
We make bold choices
Real change happens when we challenge assumptions and innovate. We embrace new ideas, lead with empathy, and push ourselves — and the maternal health system — to be better for every parent.
We're always learning
Maternal health is constantly evolving, and so are we. By staying curious, seeking fresh perspectives, and staying on top of the latest research, we empower families with the most up-to-date care possible.
One Team Caring for the Whole You
We believe it takes a community to elevate maternal and infant care. That's why our entire team — from nurses, doulas, and lactation experts to care coordinators, marketing, product, tech, and leadership — unites behind one mission: ensuring you have the support, knowledge, and compassion you need, every step of the way.

“Antoinette was an incredible doula and an absolute blessing throughout my entire journey. From birth planning to postpartum planning, labor, and delivery, she was consistently present, knowledgeable, and supportive. She helped me feel confident and prepared, and her calm and reassuring presence during labor made all the difference.”
“Angela was patient with me and made it very comfortable asking questions. She broke down a complicated topic into chunks and highlighted the most important things so that it seemed less overwhelming. She tailored the topic to my birth preferences so all the information was directly applicable to me, unlike most childbirth classes out there.”
“My doula was a great resource to have during the final stages of my pregnancy. It was good to have someone to personally reach out to, review the childbirth process, and know you have that additional support going into labor and delivery.”
“Nyeema was absolutely amazing! Loved her energy — she made me feel very welcome and comfortable. She was very informative and helpful explaining all the resources and what Mahmee has to offer for support at this time and in the future to plan for a successful and smooth pregnancy, birth, and recovery.”
“Angela is very thorough and informative with her answers to each of my questions. I can tell she’s very knowledgeable and experienced as a doula. She gives off a warm and friendly approach, allowing me to feel comfortable with asking questions and sharing my concerns on what’s to come.”
“Corena is incredible! She is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and caring. She has been fantastic to work with. I am very appreciative of her support and am grateful it will continue through my postpartum journey. Anyone would be lucky to have her support as their doula!”
“Esther is amazing! She was very helpful and knowledgeable about laboring positions, breathing exercises, and postpartum care. I’m so grateful to have such an amazing doula. I feel I’m in great hands! I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Janay made me feel safe and heard. I would recommend Mahmee to any new mom or mom of 2+ because of her. She really cared about my experience and followed up to make sure I was doing well.”
“Linda is absolutely incredible. Her dedication, level of detail, clarity, and organization to helping guide you on an often complicated breastfeeding journey is unparalleled. She is confident, kind, and helped me in so many practical ways. I felt a renewed sense of confidence after our session.”
