About me

I’m Mayte, a birth and postpartum doula, Medical Assistant, mother, emotional-support practitioner, and founder of Luna Moon Doula. My experience in reproductive healthcare allows me to understand pregnancy and birth from inside the clinical environment. I know how quickly appointments can move, how overwhelming medical language can feel, and how easily a family’s emotional needs can disappear behind procedures, monitors, and decisions. For the past two years, I have also been pursuing the educational pathway toward becoming an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). I offer compassionate, evidence-informed breastfeeding and infant-feeding education—from preparing before birth to supporting positioning, latch, milk supply, pumping, and the early feeding transition—while recognizing when specialized clinical care or an additional referral is needed. My approach bridges clinical knowledge with deeply personal, holistic care. Depending on what feels supportive to you, I may incorporate movement, breathing, emotional grounding, visualization, and the calming sound of singing bowls. I welcome every family and support unmedicated, medicated, induced, vaginal, and cesarean births with the same respect and care. Support is available in English and Spanish.

Service introduction

My secret weapon isn’t just what’s in my birth bag or how much I know about newborn care—it’s helping you discover what’s already within you. During birth, I use grounding techniques, affirmations, comfort measures, and calm guidance to help you understand your options and trust your strength. Postpartum, I bring that same steady presence into your home through emotional support, feeding guidance, recovery care, newborn education, and the reassurance you need to trust your instincts as a mother. No matter what language you dream in, what your birth looks like, or how you choose to feed your baby, you deserve to feel supported, understood, and never alone.
