If you’re looking for a midwife who will honor your intuition, walk beside you with reverence, and trust in the sacred design of birth, welcome. At Moon Phases of Life Ministry, I believe birth is not a medical event—it’s a powerful rite of passage. My care is rooted in autonomy, informed choice, and deep connection. As a traditional homebirth midwife and naturopathic practitioner, I support families with holistic tools, compassionate presence, and evidence-based wisdom, allowing your birth to unfold in safety, sovereignty, and love. I’m here to hold space, offer guidance, and witness your transformation—body, mind, and spirit.

Choosing Amy as our homebirth midwife was the best decision we made for our family. From our very first consultation, I knew she was different. She doesn’t just “do midwifery” — she embodies it. She is deeply knowledgeable, confident, and grounded, but also incredibly warm and intuitive. I never once felt rushed, dismissed, or pressured. Every appointment felt like true care, not just a checkup. During labor, Amy’s presence was everything. She was calm, steady, and completely trusting of my body. She knew when to offer guidance and when to simply hold space. I felt safe, empowered, and fully supported through every wave. My birth felt sovereign, respected, and deeply sacred. Her postpartum care has been just as amazing. She checks on both mom and baby thoroughly — physically and emotionally. She genuinely cares about the whole family, not just the clinical boxes that need to be checked. If you are looking for a homebirth midwife who honors physiological birth, protects your autonomy, and brings both skill and sacredness into the room, Amy is who you want. I will forever be grateful she walked this journey with us.

Hello! My name is Tab’itha, better known as Tabby, and I’m a passionate certified professional midwife currently residing in Mesquite, Texas. I was born and raised in the Stop 6 area of Fort Worth, TX, and I am a proud mother of three teenage girls. From a young age, I always wanted to be a "baby doctor." My grandmother would often say, "You will be a doctor, and your sister will be a lawyer." Although I encountered quite a few roadblocks and detours along the way, I eventually found my way back to what my grandmother had always believed in, but in a way that resonates with me even more—becoming a midwife. I later discovered that midwifery was in my blood; my great-grandmother was a trusted midwife in her small community in Mississippi, which further inspired my journey. I graduated from Southwest Tech with an associate degree in Health Science and Midwifery in December 2024 and passed my NARM exam in April 2025, becoming fully licensed as a midwife in Texas. I am currently finishing up my Bachelor’s in Nursing at Arizona College, further enhancing my skills and knowledge in healthcare. My journey into birth work began in 2018 when I trained as a birth doula through DONA. As a doula, I have attended over 150 in-hospital and out-of-hospital births. When COVID peaked, I was fortunate enough to continue support in the hospital. It was during this time that I realized I needed to acquire the education and skills to become a community midwife sooner than I had originally planned. During my schooling, I attended an additional 95 births and worked with several well-respected midwives and OB-GYNs in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, gaining invaluable experience. I have also acquired skills and experience as a bereavement and cesarean/VBAC support specialist, allowing me to provide comprehensive care to families during significant moments in their lives. I believe in the power of compassionate care and informed choices, striving to create a safe and nurturing environment for my clients. My end goal is to become a certified nurse midwife and nurse practitioner, bringing holistic and woman-centered care to communities that lack representation, including the area where I grew up. As an avid homeschooler, I enjoy engaging with my daughters in their education while also finding joy in my hobbies such as sewing, crafts, hosting workshops for young girls, and assisting in the offices I hold in my church. My goal is to continue growing in my practice while providing exceptional care to those I serve.

Tabby is the perfect midwife! She’s very knowledgeable and calm. She is very passionate about what she does and is always committed to get the job done. She offers a safe practice and is willing to assist you with whatever is needed

Cynthia Bean

15 years of experience

My midwife story began with the home births of my own children. They inspired me to share the transformative experience of owning my birth, finding my own path, and becoming Me. I began my home birth midwifery journey through traditional apprenticeship, where I was more or less self taught. I embarked on a journey which took me halfway across the world to a charity birth clinic in the Philippines. Then I returned again to my mini-farm in Connecticut where I raised and home schooled my three children and ran a small community practice. Over a span of 15 years, my experiences included solo practice, busy group practice, and birth center, blending of traditional midwifery with formalized education. In 2025, I graduated from Midwives College of Utah and earned my credential as a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM). Currently I work in solo practice, supporting families in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and eastern Connecticut with holistic, personalized pregnancy care, home birth, postpartum and newborn care with all visits in your own home.

When I was looking for a midwife for my second pregnancy and first home birth, I wasn’t sure what to look for. After interviewing a few midwives, Cynthia really stood out to me. From the beginning, I felt like she genuinely wanted to get to know me and understand my previous birth experience. She made me feel heard and supported right away. I especially appreciated that she offered a FaceTime meeting so I could see her beforehand, and I loved how she included my daughter in that first interaction. Having a three-year-old, it made such a difference that Cynthia offered home visits, it took away the stress of bringing a child to appointments. I knew I wanted a home birth, but I had never truly envisioned what that would look like. Cynthia was incredibly patient and helped guide me in creating the birth experience I wanted. She supported me in having the kind of pregnancy and birth that felt right for me. She is very knowledgeable and was always available to answer questions or just talk things through. One of my favorite parts was how she included my daughter in every appointment, letting her help, listen to the baby’s heartbeat, and taking the time to talk and play with her. It made the experience so special for our whole family. When it came time for my birth, I had a “go with the flow” mindset, and Cynthia fully supported me in that. I felt safe, respected, and cared for the entire time. I also truly appreciated the postpartum care. It was personal, calming, and far more attentive than the standard six-week follow-up. Cynthia made sure both baby and I were doing well with multiple visits after the birth. I had such a wonderful experience with Cynthia. I would highly recommend her to anyone considering a home birth, and I will absolutely be using her again in the future.

I have been supporting pregnant people for 18 years. I began my journey shortly after my own firstborn came peacefully into this world and the passion was ignited! I studied to be a midwife (CPM) with a number of excellent mentors and qualified in 2011. I have worked in both home and hospital settings as a doula and an excited to now be supporting this community of Clallam County. I am currently only working as a doula (non-clinical support).

Amanda is nothing short of amazing. She served as my doula for our third child, born in 2015 in Kenya. Giving birth seemed daunting at first, but Amanda's confidence, skill, and calm demeanor made everything easier. From the moment that I found out that I was pregnant, she was a source of advice and a trusted confidant, answering my questions and addressing any concerns that I had. When it came time for the birth, our little one was very reluctant to come into this world, but Amanda made the whole experience more positive. She advocated for us with hospital staff and doctors, allowing me to focus on my body and child. Of course, she was also by my side throughout the experience, offering encouragement and even some laughs. After the birth, Amanda continued her high level of care with post-partum wellness checks for both me and baby. We were very grateful to have her with us during this journey. Her dedication to me and our family is still something that I look back on with great fondness.

I am a birth worker since 2012, I have provided a variety of services in a variety of settings around the world. I am located in Toronto, Canada, but I am available to travel for minimum one month commitments. I have worked in Macau & Hong Kong, Manila, Nairobi, Vancouver, and Guadalajara, and have a global perspective on birth physiology and traditions. I provide trauma-informed, and culturally safe care, be it education, lactation support, birth and postpartum doula services, or midwifery care. I’m available as a midwife only where a license isn’t required. My approach is very collaborative—rather than “save” you from unsafe practitioners, I prefer to work with you comprehensively in the prenatal period to be sure you have the environment you need for a peaceful and satisfying (physiologic, if possible) birth. My years and depth of experience and knowledge sets me apart from most locally-focused doulas, so I tend to work well with expats and globe-trotters like myself. My happy place is home in Ontario in the near North, at the cottage that has been a part of my family’s experience for 100+ years. I love all animals but especially dogs, and I ADORE drinking coffee and discussing big ideas.

If you want the best, hire Christy. Where to begin? We LOVED working with Christy. If you’re reading these reviews wondering if you should have her as your doula, you definitely should. Our experience with Christy was nothing short of extraordinary. After the birth, I described Christy to my husband as our angel - as it felt that she magically appeared and blended in, giving just the right level of support and guidance, without being overbearing or intrusive. Her presence felt very natural and she completely put myself and my husband at ease. Christy played a pivotal role in helping me establish breastfeeding, which really helped set us up for success with feeding, and having her there to help with this immediately after the birth was invaluable. After our daughter was born, Christy continued to check in with us, and we felt extremely well looked after. She is clearly an expert both in caring for mothers in the postpartum period, but also in caring for newborns, and her years of experience meant we felt in very capable hands. Her dedication to postpartum care is unmatched, and her deep understanding of the emotional and physical needs of both the birthing person and their partner is truly remarkable. Christy’s passion for what she does shines through in every interaction, and her knowledge in perinatal care is both comforting and empowering. I give Christy my highest recommendation – any family would be very lucky to have her as part of their parenting journey!

Hello! I am the Founder and Nursing Director of Peaceful Passages Birthing Support Center. I am an experienced Labor and Delivery RN and Certified Doula of 25 years. We serve CA and FL, with multiple office locations . We offer a vast array of services, including, maternity concierge services , birth and postpartum doula services, Montrice services, Lamaze classes, Lactation support, placenta encapsulation, postpartum meal service, belly casting, mother blessing ceremonies, and cord burning ceremonies. We accept most insurance plans, including Medi Cal and Kaiser. We look forward to being a part of your empowering birth experience and journey!

Hiring an overnight doula from Peaceful Passages was one of the best decisions I made for my postpartum recovery. Not only did my doula lovingly care for me and my newborn, she went above and beyond—prepping nourishing meals, providing breastfeeding support, organizing the baby’s nursery, and even helping with my twin toddlers so I could rest. Her calm, professional presence made my healing after a c-section so much easier. I was especially impressed by how seamless everything was—she was professionally dressed, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable. On top of that, Peaceful Passages accepted my Carrot insurance and handled all the billing with ease, which lifted such a burden off my shoulders. This service was truly a lifesaver for me and my family. I felt cared for, supported, and able to focus on bonding with my baby. I can’t recommend their overnight doula services enough!

Hi! We're Savanah and Sheryl, the Neighborhood Midwives. We've been working together in the birth world for the past four years and recently chose to focus exclusively on home birth. This shift allows us to slow down, be more present with the families we serve, and find a better balance in our own lives too. We believe true health starts from within. Our approach blends lifestyle support, movement, and herbal medicine—while also embracing modern medicine when it’s needed. If you're hoping for a calm, familiar, and intimate experience during your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey, we’d love to connect and answer any questions you have.

I had Savanah and Sheryl as my midwives for my first birth - I approached my pregnancy and delivery in a holistic way and they were both so helpful, their bedside manner was truly exceptional and so thoughtful every appointment, and most of all - they were truly THERE for me during my delivery. It was a long labor and they brought me such a sense of peace every time they walked in the room. They both had a way of meeting me where I was at with every question and emotion that came up. I always felt respected and genuinely cared for with both of them - never as an inconvenience, they never made me feel small with my questions or lack of experience. They gave me great lactation support and resources for breastfeeding as well, which was HUGE for me. I can’t wait to work with them again in the future.

Choosing Dayna as my doula was one of the most empowering decisions I made during my pregnancy. I was planning a freebirth and wanted someone by my side who not only respected my autonomy, but also deeply understood the spiritual and instinctual nature of birth. Dayna was that person—and so much more. From the beginning, she held space for my choices without judgment. She offered guidance rooted in wisdom, experience, and deep trust in the birthing process. Her presence gave me the confidence to lean fully into my body and my baby, knowing I was never alone in the journey—even though I chose to birth without medical assistance. Dayna was calm, intuitive, and hands-off in the best way, always available when I needed her but never imposing. She brought peace into the space and honored every aspect of my process, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. If you’re seeking someone who will walk beside you with reverence, respect, and belief in your power, Dayna is that guide. She doesn’t just support birth—she honors it as sacred. I am forever grateful.

My calling for birth work started with a traumatic first birth, but has opened my eyes to the beauty that is child birth. I began educating myself which resulted in discovering what a doula was. I felt in my heart if I was able to rewrite my birth narrative, then I can be that person for others. I began attending births as a doula in November 2021. Along this journey, I became pregnant with my third child and was able to experience the difference the midwifery model of care can make. As I carried my child in my womb, attending mostly hospital births as a doula, I saw so many women not being heard or respected. I felt this urgency to become a midwife myself, because all women deserve to be supported. Birth is a natural event that sometimes needs medical attention and not the other way around. I was so inspired to make this my life’s work that I enrolled at the National College of Midwifery September 2022. I have not only been a victim myself but witnessed how our culture has stripped women of their birthing power. I have had three very different personal experiences with three very different births myself. One very medicalized birth turned into cesarean, one unmedicated vbac in a hospital and my last birth was at a birth center ! My hope and passion is to help other women feel the power that comes when their autonomy is left intact! I believe that birth is sacred. I believe in you and your ability to birth. I hold space for the spiritual, the physical, the emotional. I am here to help you with your fears, your hopes, and your dreams. In January 2023 I decided to attend a reiki 1 and 2 training. I have been incorporating this spiritual modality when requested. The pairing on energy work within the birth space has had a magical impact on my clients and my own personal enlightenment. I believe that every woman deserves to birth in a way that is safe for her and her baby, in a way that assures she feels honored and supported.

I can’t say enough good things about Carly, Angela and Amanda. I was beyond impressed with how much I learned from them about my pregnancy and future delivery. Because of that, I was not scared to give birth and I trusted that they would be by my side when the day came. I can’t describe the sense of relief, and safety I felt having them in my corner. During my delivery, Carly was my rock. She supported me 200% and backed me up with every decision that I made. Hiring a doula was the best decision that I made during my pregnancy and I can’t wait to get to work with Carly, Angela and Amanda for all of my future pregnancies! I love them so much!

Jennifer Buonamassa, L.M., C.P.M.

My mother was a Lamaze instructor who taught childbirth classes in our home, surrounding me with the language, rhythm, and wonder of pregnancy and birth from an early age. As the eldest of four siblings and 16 grandchildren, I grew up surrounded by babies, witnessing the magic of new life, and developing a deep-rooted sense of awe and normalcy around the birthing process. The births of my own children lit a spark in me, and that spark grew into a calling. I became a doula and gained extensive experience supporting families birthing in homes, birth centers, and hospitals across Los Angeles. Over time, my passion for this sacred work deepened, and I felt the undeniable pull to expand my knowledge and commitment to birthing families by becoming a midwife. Through years of study, apprenticeship, and dedication, I graduated from the National Midwifery Institute. I am a Licensed Midwife (LM) with the Medical Board of California and Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) with the North American Registry of Midwives. I carry certifications in neonatal resuscitation, CPR, and Basic Life Support (BLS) and have had the privilege of supporting hundreds of families on their birthing journey's. Becoming a midwife has been one of the greatest honors of my life— and I carry every story, every family, and every birth with gratitude and reverence.

Jennifer is an outstanding Midwife. Her dedication to caring for birthing families is without a doubt her passion and it shows through everything she does, she is beyond gifted. Her attention to detail, autonomy, expertise, and ability to communicate clearly make her unique in this field. She is highly skilled and quick on her toes when needed to be. She will ensure you are fully educated and prepared to give birth on every level - body, soul, and mind. Working with Jennifer as a Doula, I have seen her in many births, and her energy is calm, and serene but also a confident source of wisdom. I would highly recommend Jennifer for you birthing needs.

Hi I'm Midwife Angela! I'm a first generation Mexican-American bilingual Midwife serving Long Beach/LA County and some Orange County areas! Please feel free to reach out with any questions! I've been licensed since July 2019 and in birth work since February 2010.

First and foremost, thank you Angela! Literally could not have done it without her. Blessed to be fortunate enough to acquire her services. From the beginning of our journey, she made everything feel so natural and comfortable which was key for my birth plan and in general. Being it was my first birth, and a home birth at that, I was nervous and scared.. I didn’t think prenatal visits were meant to be enjoyable until we found her. I always looked forward to our appointments. She never made me feel like I was just another client. She is so thorough and made things easy to understand. Always answered all my questions with ease. Very professional and warm. The perfect balance. She became my support and my friend. Also, as a fellow Latina, she has all my support and I’m proud to call her my midwife/friend. Can’t wait to have my second baby just to have her back!

Doula, Midwife, Lactation Consultant and Childbirth Educator who offers empowered support for mothers through all stages of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum—offered with intuition, peace, and reverence for the sacredness of motherhood.

The only word that comes to mind when I think of Dayna is Grateful. She is truly the reason I was able to give birth and deliver our daughter in the way that aligned with us. Our first child's delivery did not happen in the way we wanted even with top natural health and birthing experts in the Miami area and during my second pregnancy we did not know what to do or except. After finding Dayna she helped us work through fears we didn't even realize we had. During the Labor experience she was there guiding us the whole way. As someone who has a hard time trusting anyone I completely trusted her guidance and felt safe having her there with us. This woman knows what she is doing, has more knowledge and experience than anyone i've come across and is an honest keeper of the ancient experience of birth and raising children the way god intended. Just stop, look no further and hire Dayna to help you along your parenting journey, no matter where it begins!

My name is Hannah Shaw and I am a traditional Christian midwife. My passion is to serve women in the childbearing years. What started as a desire to help reduce unnecessary cesareans, turned into a journey to help all women feel empowered by their birth experiences. Giving women informed choice, so that way we can change the narrative on birth one generation at a time.

I used Hannah for my first home birth and she was amazing. She was very kind and respectful. She was also always available, and made herself available for concerns and worries. Very knowledgeable. I hope many more moms get to have great experiences with her. She was a very reassuring and calming presence during labor, and I don't know what I would have done without her. Amazing woman, and amazing midwife.

My philosophy as a midwife is rooted in both extensive personal experience and dedicated education. As a mother of five boys, including two natural births, one of which was born at home, I've lived through the very experiences I now guide others through. This invaluable perspective, combined with my Associate's in Midwifery from the MEAC Accredited Southwest Wisconsin Technical College and a Bachelor's from Texas Tech, has equipped me to serve as a midwife since 2022. I believe in fostering a supportive environment where birthing individuals feel heard, respected, and empowered to make informed choices throughout their pregnancy and birth journey.
