Founder of Madison Mom Collective. As a Madison native, I’m passionate about supporting families within our community. I simplify the process of finding reliable childcare through a trusted, thoroughly vetted matchmaking approach.

My work is deeply rooted in a respectful, connection-based philosophy, inspired by approaches like those shared in “Hunt, Gather, Parent,” by Michaeleen Doucleff. I value calm, collaborative environments where children are seen as capable, included members of the family. I believe in guiding behavior with patience rather than control, encouraging family-centered activities, and fostering a sense of contribution in everyday life.

Rather than relying on constant entertainment or strict discipline, I support a more intuitive rhythm—one where children are gently invited into daily routines, build confidence through real-life participation, and develop a strong sense of belonging within their home.

This philosophy shapes how I match families and caregivers, ensuring alignment not just in logistics, but in values, communication, and overall approach to raising children.

With a background in yoga, I thoughtfully curate prenatal and postpartum yoga classes, motherhood wellness events, and intentional community gatherings designed to support women through every stage of motherhood.

I’m Halia Hirschfield,
