About me

Go beyond birth plans with midwifery wisdom and doula support that helps you reconnect with the wisdom of your body for an easier pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Cut through the noise, conflicting advice, and one size fits all guidance that can make this season feel overwhelming. I’m Monica, a Licensed Midwife, Doula, Holistic Perinatal Wellness Guide and Certified Yoga Instructor with 30 years experience supporting thousands of women through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and everything that comes with it. I bring together the clinical knowledge of midwifery and the hands on guidance of doula care so you get support that’s practical, evidence informed, and grounded in the reality of how birth actually works. I created Moonwise Motherhood to give you a full spectrum approach to the childbearing year. This isn’t just classes or checklists. It’s real guidance, real education, and real support that helps you prepare your body, trust your instincts, and learn tools that actually work in labor and postpartum. Here’s how I can support you: • Easier Birth Classes • Prenatal Yoga to prepare your body for labor & birth • Virtual and in person Birth Doula Support • Postpartum preparation and guidance after you give birth • Perinatal Wellness Guidance As your birth doula, I help you understand your options, learn comfort measures, and get clear on what you want for your birth. I teach you how to work with your body, stay grounded through every stage of labor, and make choices that feel right for you. I am with you through the whole process so you feel supported, informed, and steady from the first signs of labor through the moment you meet your baby. My goal is to provide comprehensive information as well as a comforting, personalized touch to every family's journey, ensuring each experience is smooth and easier.

Labor/Birth Monitrice Support
A monitrice is a Doula who is a licensed or registered healthcare provider that, in addition to Doula support, also provides clinical assessments during labor. As a Licensed Midwife and Doula, I provide clinical assessments such as vital sign monitoring, intermittent fetal heart tone auscultation, assessment of signs and symptoms, cervical exams for dilation (only if, and when, requested), monitoring mom for signs that it's time to head to the hospital. Monitrice support is especially helpful in situations where you would prefer to labor at home for as long as possible but would still like the benefit of being monitored for peace of mind. It can also be especially helpful should you have a long prodromal or early labor and would prefer to be assessed at home rather than heading to the hospital too soon. This can help determine whether or not you are actually in labor, baby’s position and tools to help move Prodromal labor into active labor, etc. No diagnoses will be made from these assessments but they are helpful in helping you determine when to head in and give you peace of mind while you labor at home. Any decisions as to next steps based on the assessments will be made solely by the parents, not the monitrice. Midwife Moni will chart clinical assessments so that you can report them to your provider upon hospital admission or prior, when necessary. This service includes 2 prenatal birth planning visits, Labor monitrice/doula support in your home before heading to the hospital/birth center as well as doula support in the hospital throughout labor and birth. 1 Postpartum visit in your home (including clinical assessment for you to report to your provider upon request). This service may also be offered a la carte on an hourly basis (see package below) of $625 per hour (helpful in cases where you would just like an assessment at home in early labor but do not require full labor support).
