Welcome to Moon & Stars Doulas, where families are cared for through every part of the journey.
I’m Jessica, founder of Moon & Stars, a birth and postpartum doula, pediatric sleep consultant, childbirth educator, mother of five, and perinatal professional with more than twenty years of experience supporting growing families.
For me, this work is deeply personal. As a two-time NICU mom, preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome survivor, and someone who experienced hyperemesis gravidarum throughout pregnancy, I understand how quickly the journey into parenthood can become different from what you imagined.
Those experiences shaped a simple belief that remains at the heart of Moon & Stars. Families deserve more than help getting through the early days. They deserve to be cared for. Our approach brings together experienced doula support, evidence-based education, newborn and infant sleep expertise, and a growing focus on traditional postpartum healing practices. Through advanced Ayurvedic postpartum training, I am expanding our care to include restorative traditions centered around warmth, nourishment, rest, healing, and intentional recovery.
Postpartum should not be about bouncing back, It should be about healing, bonding, resting, learning, and finding your rhythm as a family.
That same philosophy is inspiring our next chapter, The Moonlit Nest ATX, Austin’s fourth-trimester retreat for families with babies. A restorative space created to give families the village, education, nourishment, and hands-on support that is so often missing after welcoming a new baby.
Whether you are preparing for birth, coming home with your newborn, transitioning from the NICU, recovering postpartum, navigating feeding or sleep, or simply wishing you had more support, you do not have to figure it all out alone.
Moon & Stars is here to help you feel supported, rested, informed, nourished, and genuinely cared for.
Your village starts here.
