About me

Hi! I'm Natalie Downey, Birth and Postpartum doula serving in the Columbus, GA area. From hiking to foraging, I love to spend time in nature. As a local herbalist, I lead herbal workshops, foraging walks, and create herbal remedies to support healthy pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery. Working with nature's gifts to create easy to use remedies is one of my biggest passions. In the birth space, I honor your own personal story and walk beside you into the transition to parenting your new little one. My approach is calm, centered, and compassionately empowering.

As a doula who needed a doula, Natalie was the PERFECT person for the job! She was compassionate, caring, and vocal. Natalie's knowledge of herbalism and alternative pain managment techniques combined with her experience as a mom allowed her to show up for me without hesitation or fear and help me have the 100% medication-free birth I wanted, even when I thought I couldn't do it. When faced with the decision to have a medical intervention, Natalie was quick to employ the BRAIN method to help me make an informed decision that was un-influenced by my medical team. While maintaining her role as my support person, she ensured a nurse got photos & videos for me during labor AND delivery; something that was VERY important to me but quickly left the forefront of my & my husband's minds. If I were to ever have another baby, I would 100% hire Natalie at Mama Moon Birth Services!!

"Mama Moon" was my birth doula and is currently supporting me through my 4th trimester (postpartum). She was absolutely perfect in my labor & delivery and I will shout that from the mountain top 100 times over! Natalie showed up with care, advocacy, and an extensive knowledge on alternative pain relief techniques that helped me have a completely natural labor with no interventions; like I dreamed of. Natalie's herbalism knowledge & kind spirit and heart will make her the BEST addition to your birthing team!
