I was born and raised in Burlington, North Carolina (and still live here!), and my family heritage spans back many generations in this area. I’m a southern girl at heart who was saved by Jesus’ grace when I was 10 years old. I am blessed to be married to my better half and sweetheart, Paul, whom I’ve loved since I was 17 years old. We have journeyed through happiness and heartache together; military trainings and deployment, selling one home and building another, births and funerals, illnesses and surgeries, family vacations, and more. We have two beautiful children, Rafe and Lorelai, who bring laughter and joy to our home. The Lord also uses them to refine our faith and prayer lives. My life is built upon my foundation in Christ alone. I will not compromise my beliefs for another’s comfort. I believe in truthfulness and extending grace to one another. When my husband and I became pregnant with our first baby, we took Bradley Birthing Method classes with our doula and though I had planned a home birth, my labor ended up being induced in a hospital at 35 weeks gestation due to pre-eclampsia. My birth experience was not how I had envisioned it, but having the phenomenal support of my doula and husband made a world of difference and thanks to their help, many of my birth goals were accomplished when my son was born. Fast forward to when I gave birth to our second baby; I planned another home birth and worked very hard to maintain my health during pregnancy, and did not develop pre-eclampsia again, praise Jesus! I delivered our daughter in a birth pool in our bedroom at home, surrounded by the most amazing support team of my midwife, doulas, and family - I will be forever grateful for such a redemptive, healing birth experience which also created a much more joyful postpartum experience, too. I became a birth doula in 2018 after the birth of my son. My doula had impacted my pregnancy and birth experience so much; feeling completely supported and informed of my options even when my home birth turned hospital birth, her influence gave me confidence and awareness. Because of this, I felt The Lord calling me to serve other families through birth work in the same way. I trained and certified through DONA International and hit the ground running. I worked with a large doula group for a while which was such a wonderful opportunity to shadow under very experienced doulas. After a few years, I felt called to start my own business and did so in November 2021 after much prayer and consideration. I’ve attended over 80 births in a variety of settings at homes, birth centers, and hospitals. I have supported births that are natural, medicated, induction, cesarean, VBACs, water birth, and more. I have worked with single mothers, trauma survivors, families with NICU stays, mothers whose husbands were deployed during birth, stillbirth, and more. I believe that no matter what her birth goals are, women and their families all deserve continuous and unconditional encouragement, education, and support throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I want you to feel loved and cared for as you welcome a new member into your family and home. I believe that birth is not something to be feared, but rather embraced and viewed as extraordinary. Birth is a divine, sacred experience that transcends the physical world into the spiritual. My own journey of motherhood has seen its fair share of joys and challenges, and it’s only just beginning. I know what it’s like to make a birth plan and experience a different one. I know what it’s like to be separated from your newborn when he goes to the NICU. I have experienced a hard postpartum experience as well as a smooth one. I have celebrated milestones of those two pink lines, birthdays, first words, first steps, and I continue to remain in awe of the love that I have given and received. All of these experiences, among others, are part of my desire to support families as they journey into parenthood. I would be honored to serve your family as you celebrate the milestones in your life. I would love to be a source of strength, reassurance, and comfort by providing physical, emotional, spiritual, and informational support. I will commit myself to pray for your during your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey. I will encourage you to think for yourself, trust the parental intuition that The Lord gifted you, ask the difficult questions, and stand firm in your convictions. I value your God-given ability to make decisions for your home, family, and body that honor The Lord and serve Him before anyone else. I want you to be confident in your decisions because you are informed. I will advocate for your right to make decisions because I believe in and value medical freedom. My prayer is that your birth experience would be positive, filled with joyful memories to last a lifetime, and that you would feel the love of The Savior surrounding you in this season.

Hiring a birth doula was a game-changer for us. Learning comfort measures to support my wife was invaluable when contractions started. At the hospital, I saw the unique benefits of having the nurses and a doula. They offered different kinds of help, but both were crucial. Takeda, our doula, was acted as a bodyguard to secure the placenta. Highly recommend this support for any couple.

I highly recommend teaming up with Dawn for your pregnancy journey! As a first time mom, Dawn's offerings helped my partner and I navigate all the newness that comes with pregnancy. Her prenatal yoga classes provided a loving environment to slow down and tune in to the body. It was also a great shared space to meet expecting and new moms. Her childbirth course provided an empowering perspective on the birthing process. As a doula, Dawn's presence, insight, and support before, during, and after labor brought an indispensable sense of comfort and warmth in to welcoming our little girl. If you're curious about adding a support person to your pregnancy experience, Dawn is a great choice! I was also able to attend her Motherhood Circle Intro and Birth Comfort Techniques class. Both were top notch!

“Once in a Blue Moon” is a reference to a rare occurrence. Every birthing experience is unique and rare in its own right, but finding the right doula for that experience can be daunting! Blue Moon Doula Services offers a unique experience that you won’t find anywhere else, one that is more about guidance and service to help your transition into a new phase of life. A blend of both holistic and evidence-based practice care can look different for families with different needs. When we discuss conversations before, during, or after birth, it can feel overwhelming. However, whatever experience you’re looking for, Blue Moon Doula Services will offer a collaborative, cohesive service you can’t find anywhere else: unbiased support that allows you to take the lead however you see fit. Whether this is a first birth or third, you are centered.

As a first time mom, having a doula was very important to me. I hired Monica as my doula for my 2025 birth. Monica provided much insight surrounding prenatal care, labor, delivery, and postnatal care. Her communication skills were as outlined as she provided details regarding her role and expectations, which left minimum room for questions due to being very informative. Hiring Monica, was one of the most rewarding aspects of my pregnancy.She assisted with creating my birth plan and ensuring that it was followed as best as could be during my delivery. She addressed concerns during laboring when I was unable to and needed to focus on labor management. The techniques that she provided to help contractions during labor was very successful and I progressed more once she arrived. To add, Monica arrived earlier than what was planned, with no hesistsnce, simply because I needed my doula assistance. Monica's dedication was shown throughout her service. I would highly recommend Monica and have her again as my doula!

We did the Sacredsong package with Gabe. I wish that everyone could have access to the support that Gabe provided during our prenatal, birth and postpartum experience. She answered all of our many questions through out and offered answers to the questions we didn't even know to ask. We felt as prepared as we could be before the birth. And when baby came a couple weeks early Gabe was great at helping over the phone during contractions then transition to the hospital for the birth. She helped guide me and my spouse throughout the contractions and into the birth of our first child. She made sure we understood and communicated clearly with the midwives through out. My spouse and I are incredibly grateful she was our support person for the birth and then for postpartum. The follow up session a few days after we got home was really helpful to be able to talk through and process the birth. She was great at teaching my partner how to belly bind and guide them to help support my recovery. If we decide to have another child Gabe would be one of the first people we reached out to to get back on her books. And I have already recommended her to a couple friends. My husband wanted me to add that he felt without Gabe there to support him he would have had a more difficult time. But Gabe was able to support both of us and so he was able to be more mentally and physically present especially during the hardest parts of labor.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Nalani care for our two children, ages 2 and 5, and I truly cannot speak highly enough about her. From the moment she arrived, she brought warmth, patience, and a calming presence into our home. Both of our children immediately gravitated toward her, and it was clear that she has a natural talent for working with kids of all ages. Nalani kept our children engaged with fun, educational, and creative play that was perfectly tailored to their age levels and personalities. Whether it was arts and crafts with our 5-year-old, imaginative games, or outdoor play in the backyard, she made every day feel special and exciting. She also has a wonderful way of encouraging gentle behavior, kindness, and routines — which we saw reflected in our kids even after her time with them. In addition to playtime, Nalani handled school and daycare pickups with ease and reliability. We always felt confident knowing our kids were in safe hands, even when our schedules changed or ran late. She maintained clear and consistent communication, which gave us peace of mind throughout the day. We appreciated her flexibility and willingness to work around our family's needs. Around the house, Nalani was incredibly helpful with light housekeeping related to the children. She kept their spaces tidy, handled their laundry, helped with snack and meal prep, and always made sure things were in order by the time we got home. Her support made a noticeable difference in our daily flow and helped us feel more organized and less stressed. Overall, Nalani has been a true blessing to our family. She is dependable, nurturing, and genuinely cares about the well-being and development of the children she looks after. We are so grateful for the time our children spent with her and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family in search of a trustworthy and loving nanny.

I took on the role of nurturer fairly early in life. As the oldest of 8 I lovingly stepped into the big sister role to help guide my siblings by displaying great leadership. In 2014 I became a mother and it was during this experience that I discovered my calling for birth work. Since, for the last 11 years, I have devoted time to being a student in midwifery, becoming trauma informed, and expanding my inclusive services, to widen my scope of support and care. " I will continue to help recreate the way we interact and think about birth, more importantly, physiological birth, as it pertains to people that look like me. We deserve to experience birth void of trauma." - Yeyo
