MAYA empowers pregnant and postpartum individuals and incarcerated women. Our doulas, mentors, and counselors are trained to deliver equitable, comprehensive care to the majority Black and Latine clients we serve.

We provide Perinatal Support Services for underserved birthing people, including incarcerated mothers, and group psychoeducation for women incarcerated in Allegheny County Jail. MAYA is also an active participant in the landscape of birth and birth equity in Pittsburgh, and frequently collaborates with partners working to improve outcomes for Black and brown birthing people.

MAYA's services are free and open to all. Our Spanish-language programming serves immigrant populations, and responds to the needs of a threatened community delivering their babies in an unfamiliar medical system. We follow the principles of trauma-informed care, employ proven models for improving birth equity, support birthing people in making their voices heard, and champion program participants as experts in their own lives.
