Welcome to Moon & Stars Doulas
I’m Jessica, founder of Moon & Stars. I’m a birth and postpartum doula, pediatric sleep consultant, childbirth educator, mother of five, and a perinatal professional with more than twenty years of experience supporting growing families. Austin, Texas has been my home for 20 years.
This work is personal. As a two-time NICU mom, a preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome survivor, and someone who lived with hyperemesis gravidarum through pregnancy, I know how quickly parenthood can look different from what you imagined.
Those experiences shaped the heart of Moon & Stars. Our families deserve more than help getting through the early days. They deserve to be cared for.
Our care brings together experienced doula support, evidence-based education, newborn and infant sleep expertise, and traditional postpartum healing.
Through advanced Ayurvedic postpartum training, I am deepening practices centered on warmth, nourishment, rest, and intentional recovery.
Postpartum should not be about bouncing back. It should be about healing, bonding, resting, learning, and finding your family’s rhythm.
That same belief is shaping our next chapter. The Moonlit Nest ATX, a recovery space for families with a little one, one year and under. A place for the village, education, nourishment, and hands-on support so often missing after a baby arrives.
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, Moon & Stars is here so you can feel supported, rested, informed, nourished, and genuinely cared for.
Your Village Through Pregnancy, Postpartum & Beyond
Birth Support
Moon & Stars Doulas offers experienced, personalized support through pregnancy and birth.
We walk with families through vaginal births, planned and unplanned cesareans, VBACs, premature deliveries, and NICU transitions.
Every birth is unique. We tailor our care to your needs, preferences, and vision so you feel informed, supported, and never alone.
Postpartum Support
Moon & Stars Doulas offers experienced, personalized postpartum care in Austin, TX.
We support families through the fourth trimester with daytime, overnight, 24/7, and short-term live-in help.
Services include newborn and feeding guidance, recovery support, and hands-on care as you settle into a new rhythm.
Whether you need a few hours or round-the-clock help, our goal is simple: help you feel rested, confident, and cared for.
Your baby was born into a family, we bring the village to you.
Classes & Support Groups
Parenthood was never meant to be navigated alone.
Our classes and support groups bring education, honest conversation, practical guidance, and community into spaces made for real families and real life.
Whether you’re preparing to welcome a baby, finding your footing postpartum, or moving through a new season of parenthood, you can come as you are. These gatherings include hands-on learning, parent education, and time to connect, room for real questions, without anyone having to pretend they have it all figured out.
Sometimes the village starts with finding your people. New classes and support groups begin Fall 2026.
Pediatric Sleep Consulting
Sleep shapes the whole household. Our pediatric sleep consulting offers calm, practical support for babies and young children, so nights feel more predictable and you can rest too.
We help families with bedtime routines, night wakings, naps, early rising, and age-appropriate sleep foundations. Support is personalized to your child’s needs, your parenting style, and what feels sustainable at home.
Virtual and in-home sessions are available.
You don’t have to figure sleep out alone. We’ll meet you where you are and help you build a plan your family can actually follow.
The Moonlit Nest ATX
The Moonlit Nest ATX
The Moonlit Nest ATX is a soft place to land. A postpartum recovery space coming to Austin for families with a little one, one year and under.
Birth is not a requirement. If you have a baby in your arms, you belong here.
Here, you can rest, be held, and remember you don’t have to do this season alone. Support shouldn’t fade after the first few weeks. Whether your baby is brand new or you’re months in and still finding your way, you are welcome.
Postpartum mental health is at the heart of everything we offer.
Come for a few quiet hours or stay for the day. Bring your partner or your older children, or simply nest with your baby while we take care of you. There will be rest, warm meals, newborn and infant support, gentle education, wellness care, and the kind of connection that makes a village feel real.
You don’t have to have it all together, just come as you are.
We’ll be ready for you in Fall 2026.
