About me

My path to postpartum work began with my own experience as a new mother of twins. I know firsthand what it means to be undone by those early weeks — the exhaustion, the emotion, the strange beauty of it — and I know what a difference it makes to have someone steady beside you. That's what I'm here to offer. For most of human history, new mothers were surrounded by community support for weeks after birth. That's no longer the norm — but it doesn't mean the need has gone away. It just means most families are navigating this time without the help they were always meant to have. My approach is relational, responsive and practical. I bring genuine care, capable hands-on support, and a deep reverence for this time in your life. I believe the postpartum weeks deserve to be more than just survived. With the right support around you, they can be something you look back on with real tenderness. That's what I want for you! I'm a certified postpartum doula trained through Cornerstone Birthwork, a twin mom of 6-year-olds, and someone who finds meaning in the everyday practices that sustain life — good food, unhurried presence, and a little humor when it's needed.

Service introduction

Daymoon Doula offers postpartum care rooted in presence — steady, capable support during the tender, extraordinary weeks after birth. I work with one to two families at a time, showing up on weekday mornings to listen, and to tend to what needs tending: resetting the kitchen, stocking the nursing area, holding the baby, making tea, just sitting with you. No agenda, no need to prepare. My approach is relational and responsive — I come with experience and genuine care, but mostly I come to pay attention and be with you, so that you have support, witness and company. I believe these weeks deserve to be more than just endured, enjoyed, even, and I'm here to help make that possible.
