Maar + Gaat, a holistic approach to birth services.

Get accessible and personalized doula services in-person or from the comfort of your home.

Our approach

Providing holistic, inclusive, personalized care is what Maar + Gaat is all about, so you can focus on your newborn rather than worrying about what you're forgetting to get ready.

What does a doula do?

We are committed to providing you with advice, information, emotional and physical support, as well as education about advocacy for yourself and your newborn.

 

In-person and remote options

We currently reside in the Chicago Metro Area and service the Iowa City- Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and Storm Lake - Sioux City Areas. Can’t make it in person? No worries – we’ve got you covered with virtual and on-demand services.
