Samantha Martin

Owner & Birth Professional

Hi, I'm Samantha, a certified doula and childbirth educator serving growing families in the Twin Cities and Central Minnesota. My passion has evolved from the natural tendencies of caring for and supporting others, to offering assistance to families during one of the most life-changing experiences. ​

As the oldest of six children I have witnessed my parents and family grow through the challenges of parenting, as well as, the incredible birth of my second brother born by cesarean section. It was then that I decided to focus my energy on exploring a career in the medical field. In April of 2016, after working as a certified nursing assistant specializing in postnatal and pediatric care, I stumbled upon a doula training.  I have since trained and certified with several organizations and pride myself in continuing my education. 

The best part...

of being a birth professional is witnessing the growth in confidence as a family learns their choices, build their ideal birth team, and achieve a positive birthing experience. It is truly heartwarming being asked to follow a family's journey and seeing their love grow as they welcome a new little life into the world.

When not on call or with a client...

I enjoy cooking/baking vegan dishes, walks [& snuggles] with my pitbull Sadie, raising monarchs during the warm months, kayaking and camping, star gazing, traveling [near & far], but above all I love being surrounded by family and friends. ​
"My passion is to help others build confidence, openly communicate, and achieve their goals. I strive to provide evidence-based knowledge, effective techniques, and other tools and resources for my clients to make informed decisions best for their family."   - Samantha Martin, Owner of Doula Mae Birth Services
