Maria Cuevas - Birth & Postpartum Doula

About Maria

I’m Maria, and I also go by Mayte. I am 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 ransitions. 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.

What to expect

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.

Frequently asked questions

What areas do you serve?

I warmly welcome families throughout Seattle and surrounding areas. If you’re wondering whether I serve your community, please don’t hesitate to reach out—I’d love to connect and explore how I can support you.

Can you support me with breastfeeding after my baby arrives?

Yes. My support continues beyond birth. As an IBCLC student of lactation education, I can help you understand your baby’s feeding cues, explore comfortable positions, support an effective latch, and feel more confident during those first feeds.

What will it feel like to have you as my doula?

You’ll feel like you have someone in your corner—calm, attentive, and fully present. Someone who notices what you need, helps you understand your options, supports your partner, and reminds you that your voice matters. Whether your birth unfolds exactly as imagined or takes an unexpected turn, you won’t have to navigate it alone.

Do you accept insurance or offer payment plans?

Of course! I accept Medicaid and Carrot Fertility, and I’m also open to enrolling with a family’s preferred insurance provider if given enough advance notice to complete that process. Additionally, I offer a limited number of spots through my Founding Family Program through Luna Moon Doula for families who need financial support. Reach out and we can talk through what works best for you.

Can I book your services separately, like by the hour or night?

Yes! While I offer full birth and postpartum packages, I also provide hourly support for families who just need help with specific things — whether that’s a few hours of postpartum care, feeding support, or a single prenatal visit. We can talk through what fits your needs and budget.
