Private Moon Sessions

Personalized Doula Support—Without the Commitment of a Full Doula Package.

Sometimes you don’t need ongoing doula support; you simply need dedicated time with someone who can answer your questions, help you explore your options, and support you in making informed decisions.

Private Moon Sessions are one-on-one appointments designed to provide personalized, evidence-based education, emotional support, and practical guidance for every stage of the perinatal journey.

Whether you’re pregnant, preparing for birth, adjusting to postpartum life, navigating infant feeding, or processing a previous birth experience, each session is tailored to your unique needs, questions, and goals..

There is no set agenda. This time is yours.

Come with a list of questions or simply come as you are. Together, we’ll create a session that meets you exactly where you are in your journey.
