Postpartum Care

Golden stars and circles, representing the lunar phases of postpartum.

There’s a rhythm to finding your way after having a baby, and it can’t be found on the internet, in a book, or within a spreadsheet.

The rhythm is quiet. It’s intuitive.
It’s primal.

It happens every day to women all around the world, and honestly? The process is not respected. It’s expected; but not respected.

In the earliest days post birth the world will expect you to bounce back, to act like nothing has changed, to “do it all”. But… you may feel yourself draw inward. Do not allow yourself to consider this a weakness. It’s actually instinct. Nature knows what it’s doing, and truthfully, so do you.

You just may need some reminders from time to time. And from this concept, Moon Mama Doulas
was born.

A gold crescent moon shape.

We know that what you seek is support. We also know that you want it from someone with the knowledge and confidence to help you gather your thoughts and affirm your instincts. Someone who gets it. Someone who shows up without their own agenda, who is willing to dig deep with you and use their skills and expertise to help normalize your experience.

At Moon Mama Doulas, we do one thing. And we do it right. While other agencies consider themselves “one stop shops” offering every birth-related service imaginable, we’re over here focusing on postpartum; on helping you transition from woman to mother.

What is Postpartum Doula Support?

  • Primary Focus

    The physical and emotional recovery of the birthing person.

    Building a connection through active listening, attunement, and holding space.

    Being an unbiased, knowledgeable companion during the new families’ adjustment to parenthood.

  • Secondary Focus

    The newborn’s transition to life outside of the womb.

    Infant feeding, infant care 101, soothing techniques, sleep shaping support, and instilling confidence in new parents by helping them to understand their new baby.

  • Tertiary Focus

    To help with anything that may distract from the first two focuses.

    Light household support by assisting with general everyday tasks and needs of the family.

Let's Connect

“And the mother let herself be cared for… She let the doula rock the baby while she basked in the comfort of true judgement-free support. She ate food that made her strong. She slept. She healed. And somewhere under the moonlight, between the slow sips of herbal tea, she found herself again. Not the same as before, but wilder, softer, stronger.”
