“Birth isn’t something to just survive — it’s something to rise through.

When you feel safe enough to soften, your body remembers exactly what to do. You already hold all the power within you, sometimes you just need a little guidance to tap into it.”

Mallory Hansen

The Mama Expanded Method

Motherhood is a metamorphosis.
A shedding. A remembering. A returning home to yourself.

Mallory created Mama Expanded because she saw how many mothers were navigating pregnancy, birth, and postpartum in survival mode—overwhelmed, under-supported, and silently carrying fears, trauma, and expectations that were never theirs to begin with. The philosophy is simple — nourish the mother, honor her wisdom, and support her expansion.

Here, we offer mother-centered birth and postpartum doula support, functional nutrition, and energy + mindset + breath work. We weave together grounded physiological support, trauma-informed care, nervous system tools, and intuitive energetic work. We also integrate Human Design to help women decondition, reconnect with their own internal authority, and parent in alignment from day one.

Every mother deserves to feel held, informed, confident, and connected to her power—not pushed, pressured, or dismissed.

That’s what Mama Expanded is here for.

To remind you that you are the portal. You are the medicine. You are the one becoming.

Mallory Hansen, the founder of Mama Expanded — a holistic doula and space holder devoted to helping women return to their innate power and wisdom through birth, postpartum, and motherhood.

Mama Expanded was born from the belief that when a mother feels safe, supported, and aligned, she births not just her baby — but herself. My work weaves together physiological birth education, nervous system regulation, functional nutrition, and energy work (like EFT tapping and hypnosis) to create calm, confident, and embodied births.

Whether you’re preparing for your first birth or seeking a redemptive experience this time around, my approach meets you where you are — helping you feel deeply seen, safe, and powerful in your own rhythm.

Our Mission

To expand what’s possible for mothers—
by rewriting the narrative that birth must be painful or fearful,
by bringing more nourishment, grounding, and nervous-system-led care into the postpartum space, and by helping women trust themselves not because they “should,” but because they are supported enough to.

Mama Expanded exists to help mothers step out of survival mode and into a powerfully embodied, aligned, and spacious version of themselves.

You are not meant to do this alone.
And you’re not meant to “just push through.”

You’re meant to be guided, held, and seen as you rise.

Why Mama Expanded?

Expansion is the process of growing into the woman you’re becoming — the mother, the leader, the intuitive guide, the healed version of yourself. It’s not about perfection or performance.

It’s about permission.
Presence.
Power.

Motherhood expands you—sometimes gently, sometimes loudly—but always with purpose.

This space exists so you don’t have to grow alone.
