The Heart & Soul Behind Moon & Stars Doulas
Welcome
I’m the founder of Moon & Stars Doulas, a team dedicated to walking alongside families through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and the early years of parenthood. For more than twenty years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting families through some of life’s most transformative, tender, and life-changing seasons.
As a certified birth and postpartum doula, pediatric sleep consultant, childbirth educator, and mother of five daughters, I understand firsthand how deeply important it is for families to feel supported, informed, and genuinely cared for throughout this journey.
My passion for this work is rooted not only in professional experience, but in my own personal story. I am a two-time NICU mom, a preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome survivor, and I experienced hyperemesis gravidarum during each of my pregnancies. I know what it feels like to face unexpected complications, to sit beside an incubator praying for your baby, to navigate the physical and emotional toll of a difficult recovery, and to carry both gratitude and grief in the same breath. Those experiences shaped me profoundly and deepened my commitment to providing families with compassionate, evidence-based care that honors both the beauty and complexity of the perinatal journey.
My husband and I have been together for sixteen years, and raising our five daughters has given me both personal insight and professional perspective into the realities of parenthood the joy, the overwhelm, the uncertainty, and the incredible growth that happens within a family as each new child is welcomed.
Moon & Stars was created from a simple but deeply held belief that every family deserves personalized, nurturing support that helps them feel confident, held, and empowered as they navigate pregnancy, birth, postpartum recovery, and life with a new baby.
In addition to supporting families through Moon & Stars, I am currently developing The Moonlit Nest ATX, Austin’s first fourth-trimester retreat. Designed for families with babies ages 0–12 weeks, The Moonlit Nest will offer a restorative, thoughtfully curated space where families can rest, recover, learn, and receive expert support during those precious and often overwhelming early weeks of parenthood.
Whether you are preparing for birth, healing after delivery, adjusting to life with a newborn, navigating NICU transitions, or seeking guidance through infant sleep and early parenthood, my team and I are here to provide evidence-based support, thoughtful guidance, and a calming presence you can trust.
Stay tuned as I continue to expand my practice through advanced Ayurvedic training, and I’m excited to bring these beautiful, time-honored restorative practices into the care we offer soon. Stay tuned for the deeply nourishing fourth-trimester traditions, healing rituals, and holistic recovery support coming soon to Moon & Stars and The Moonlit Nest ATX.
It is truly our honor to serve families across Austin as they welcome, heal, grow, and settle into this beautiful new chapter.
