Our Team

We’re Here to Make Your Journey Sweeter.

We’re reimagining maternal care for birthing people and families of every background, with a special commitment to the communities who’ve too often been left behind.

Through collaborative, transformative care, we blend evidence, empathy, and expertise to help families feel informed, supported, and confident from pregnancy through postpartum.

Our team of doulas, lactation counselors, and wellness professionals is redefining what whole-person care looks like—one birth at a time.

Meet the people behind the hive.
