Mary Alice Jackson
Birth & Postpartum Doula
From an early age, I have been passionate about serving and supporting families. I come from a family of seven and grew up with a mother who spoke often of the doula who served as an “angel by her bedside” during each birth. When I began working with expectant families as a prenatal yoga instructor, I fell even more in love with the wonders of pregnancy and birth.
As a birth and postpartum doula, I am committed to using my calm and compassionate nature to provide parents with continuous support during this important time. I’ll be a consistent resource for relaxation techniques, comfort measures, and focused reminders of your power. I care deeply about providing services in a way that respects each family's unique decisions, culture, and experiences.
We all have amazing strength within us. I’ll be there to guide parents in this process and create space to help them tune in to their highest selves. I consider it the highest honor to support such a powerful experience and commit myself to walk alongside parents in the birth they desire.

As a birth and postpartum doula with Family Ways, I support clients through their pregnancies, births, and postpartum periods; I also engage in ongoing community outreach and advocacy.
As a sales and marketing manager, I worked with clients in person and through social media to identify personalized skincare routines. As office manager, I worked with providers and patients to improve patient experiences.
As a camp yoga instructor, I planned and led daily yoga classes for girls ages 12-18, at all skill levels. I also provided guided meditation during class to help students find their center -- a practice I have carried into future roles as well.
