A CALM PRESENCE FROM THE MOMENT SHE ARRIVES
★★★★★
“Bethany’s sense of calm, focus, love, and care for every element of our home was transparent from the moment she arrived. She immediately connected with both of our children and became a key member of our support system.”

SOMEONE YOU CAN TRUST IN YOUR HOME
Inviting someone into your home during the postpartum period requires an extraordinary level of trust.
I enter each family’s space with respect, warmth, and discretion, understanding that every household has its own rhythms, values, traditions, and needs.
I quietly notice what others may miss. I listen without judgment, remain attentive to changing needs, and understand how deeply sleep deprivation can affect a parent, a relationship, and the atmosphere of the entire household.
Some nights call for peaceful silence. Others call for reassurance, conversation, laughter, or someone who can simply sit beside you and understand.
Calm is not something I expect from new parents. It is something I quietly bring into their home.
More Than 20 Years of Family Care
My work with babies and families began more than two decades ago and has continued through years of hands-on newborn care, long-term family support, postpartum education, lactation training, and DONA-approved postpartum doula training completed in 2016, with additional DONA-approved training completed in 2024.
Prevention. Presence. Peace of Mind.
These three principles guide every aspect of my care.
Prevention
Thoughtful postpartum planning can reduce unnecessary exhaustion, confusion, and overwhelm.
I help families prepare for the realities of newborn care, establish manageable routines, organize feeding and recovery supplies, protect opportunities for rest, and recognize when additional professional support may be helpful.
Presence
Postpartum families do not always need more advice. Sometimes, they need a calm and capable person who will remain present through the uncertainty.
I offer attentive, nonjudgmental support during the hours when parents often feel most vulnerable.
Peace of Mind
Rest becomes possible when you trust the person caring for your baby.
My goal is for parents to close their eyes knowing their newborn is receiving thoughtful, responsive care—and that they will be gently supported when it is time to feed, pump, ask a question, or begin again the next morning.
The Moon Goddess Mama Experience
The Moon Goddess Mama experience is personal, peaceful, and carefully tailored to each family.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to postpartum care.
Some families need consistent overnight support. Some need guidance with breastfeeding, pumping, or paced bottle-feeding. Some are recovering from cesarean birth, welcoming multiples, transitioning home from the NICU, or navigating postpartum anxiety.
Others simply need someone experienced beside them who understands how demanding the early weeks can be.
My care may include:
Overnight newborn care
Daytime postpartum support
Breastfeeding and pumping support
Paced bottle-feeding education
Cesarean recovery support
Twins and multiples care
Emotional reassurance and active listening
Newborn-care education
Nourishment and light postpartum household support
Support creating sustainable family routines
Referrals to appropriate medical, lactation, mental-health, or developmental professionals when needed
My care is evidence-informed, non-medical, and centered on strengthening parental confidence.
I respect your choices, your culture, your privacy, and the vision you have for your family.

Professional education matters because families deserve support that is nurturing, informed, responsible and grounded in a clear scope of practice.

BEYOND MY WORK
Outside of my professional work, I am creative, active and adventurous. I feel most grounded through movement, nature, music and continued personal growth.
I believe warmth and professionalism belong together. Families often remember not only what I did for them, but how my presence made their home feel: calmer, lighter, more organized and less alone.
A PRIVATE AND RESPECTFUL STANDARD OF CARE
Postpartum is an intimate season. Your family’s health, home, relationships, feeding choices, routines and personal experiences are treated with care, discretion and respect.
Confidentiality agreements and NDAs are available for families who require an additional level of privacy.
Trust is not assumed. It is earned through consistency, clear communication, professional boundaries and dependable care.
You Do Not Have to Navigate Postpartum Alone
Whether you are preparing for your baby’s arrival or realizing that you need more support than expected, thoughtful postpartum care can change the way your family experiences these early weeks.
Due dates, extended-care arrangements, and overnight schedules are often reserved in advance.
Let us create a postpartum plan that protects your recovery, supports your baby, and gives your family room to rest.
