Mallory Hansen, Nashville based holistic doula, top doulas in Nashville

“Motherhood is when you feel unconditional love, your heart outside of your body, and the most expansive growth you didn’t know was possible.”

// Mallory Hansen

what led Mallory to birthwork?

Mallory wears many hats, her favorite of which include: a holistic birth and postpartum doula, brand designer, mom of 2, avid hiker, fan of the moon and highland cows. Before kids, she could be found taking yoga pics in scenic places along her cross country travels — moonlighting as a yoga influencer winning many Instagram yoga challenges. All while daylighting as a brand designer for the past 15 years. During that time, after becoming a mom, her passions shifted and she quickly knew that between the gaps in prenatal and postpartum care and the lack of support for moms, she was destined to make an impact filling those gaps.

Rewind a little bit: a brief history on Mallory includes traveling across the US offering brand consulting to startups while building a 6 figure multi-disciplinary design studio. After that she spent almost 5 years as a Marketing Director for the Chicago branch of an international architecture firm. While her soul felt like it was slowly dying (corporate is not her vibe), some good did come out of it. Here she met her husband, and they moved to Nashville — she convinced her boss to let her take her job remotely before remote work was popular…

Did we mention she’s a 4/6 Manifestor? If you don’t know human design yet, you will after meeting Mallory. Manifestors are the trend setters, igniters, leaders often found clearing the path for others. She has a passion for community and bringing people together through heart-centered leadership.

After entering motherhood in 2020 in the height of the pandemic, an emergency c-section, both her and her husband losing jobs, and the stress of figuring out what the hell was happening, Mallory began her hunt for the perfect bridge the gap in the postpartum & motherhood space. She felt isolated and trying to heal from a c-section as her husband left the house to work side gigs, she was determined to find support and resources and to bring more ease to other moms!

For about 2 years she operated a postpartum & self-care box company to put crunchy postpartum products all in one place and ship them straight to your doorstep. She also offered motherhood coaching to help moms gain clarity and build their dreams. While she had a lot of fun doing all of that, it just wasn’t quite her calling… she could feel something bigger in her soul.

After her second baby, Mallory did get her vbac at home, but it didn’t exactly go according to plan either. After 42 long weeks of waiting, baby 2’s surprise was 2 more weeks of waiting… womp womp. NICU was not in Mallory’s card deck of birthing affirmations or manifestations, and yet she immediately became determined to help more moms not have this experience. She closed the postpartum box company and dove deeper. After a long year of deep inner work, really tapping into her tool box of spiritual, emotional, mindset and energy modalities — practicing what she preached, she came out the other side with a completely new outlook, and total clarity in what she was designed to do all along…

Holistic Birth and Postpartum Doula.

As a Manifestor, Mallory is always full of magical and innovative new ideas, and thus she also holds various certifications to be able to bring more of her passions to her clients and audience. She is not only certified as a birth and postpartum doula, as well in functional nutrition, Neuro Linguistics Programming, Life and Success Coaching, EFT Tapping, Reiki, Hypnosis, and Time Techniques. Why is all of this relevant for you?

Mallory is very passionate about bringing all of her areas of expertise together to create a holistic experience for her clients. Her ultimate mission is to help more moms and women to tap into their inner wisdom to do what they were made to do, no matter what season you’re in or what you’re experiencing — giving you the support, holding space, or guiding with knowledge so that you can make more informed decisions and ultimately have a much better experience.
