About Me
Madison Hendry (aka Mama Bird), transitioned into motherhood in 2014. As a visual artist and recent graduate in 2011 with a Master of Fine Arts in Sculpture from Brooklyn College, Brooklyn, NY, she began to see a shift in her artwork, career, and perspective on life. Her artwork has been exhibited and published internationally and included in pioneering events such as, Project AfterBirth; the first ever international exhibition based on the subject of early parenthood.
​
With the premature birth of her second son, Madison became fascinated with the dynamics of the mother/infant relationship. She realized her touch, sound, smell, milk, and relationship with him were not only beneficial; she was essential and played an active role in his development. The process of having a premature infant taught her to listen to her instincts and child's needs and respond to them. Madison received a scholarship and completed her Breastfeeding Educator Certification with Birth Arts International in 2018. In 2020, she became the FIRST Certified Kangaroula; Advanced Doula in Kangaroo Mother Care with BirthWorks International, studying under world renowned trainers, Jill and Dr. Nils Bergman!
Madison has over 9 years (and counting) of personal breastfeeding experience. She lives in a 1950's Sears Home in Cleveland, OH suburbs with her husband, tattooer, Angus Hendry and 3 children, Angus, Huckleberry and Evergreen.
​
