It’s been a minute since I’ve introduced myself on here. I’m Maryrose (she/they) and I’m a board-certified music therapist, founder of Song & Story Creative Therapies in chapel hill/Durham NC. I decided to become a music therapist when I realized I wanted more interpersonal interaction than being a professional flutist 🪈 would offer me. I’ve never looked back. I connect deeply to music, both making music and listening to music; it is integral to my mental wellbeing and to my identity. I see everyday how people’s relationship to music is profoundly transformative and a deep access point for healing and mental wellbeing. I’m autistic, q***r, nonbinary, and a fierce advocate for lgbtqia-+ youth/families and for perinatal mental health!

I love birds, poetry, being outside, and reading. I have two pet cockatiels, Pico and Weezer. Thanks for being here!!

Philosophy

I love everything to do with birth. When I was a teenager I thought it was a weird fascination; now, I know that it is a calling.

As your doula, I believe it is my responsibility to get to know you. What is your story? What do you value? (Heck, what's your favorite ice cream?) What is important to you for your birth? What resources do you need? How can I best support you during pregnancy, birth, or postpartum? While your body is busy creating life inside of you, I'm here to assist you, as one client said, "to control the things I can, and accept the things I can't". I can assist you in preparing for pregnancy, birth, and beyond by providing educational, physical, and emotional support. I am not here to advocate for you, but to support you to advocate for yourself. You are the best person to care for your baby, and you are the best person to care for yourself. You got this! I’m here to be present with you and remind you of your strength!

As your doula, I am working to cultivate an inclusive space for women/people of color, q***r birthing folks, and trans birthing folks, and survivors of domestic/sexual violence in the birthing community. Reproduction and birth is such a unique and vulnerable thing to do, and it can be a particularly scary thing for those who are marginalized. So as women, as people of color, as q***r folks, as trans folks, as survivors, this is your space - reclaim birthing. How can I help? How can I listen? How can I better position myself as an ally for just and equitable birthing? It's all about you.
