Why “One Moon…”?

“Cultures throughout the world have long recognized there is something magical about the first six weeks of life. Many cultures have a custom by which the mother is given lots of support and rest and is freed from all responsibilities except learning to care for… her baby. Some cultures refer to this as ‘one moon cycle’ others as ‘the first forty days.’”

– The Breastfeeding Book, By Martha Sears, William Sears

One Moon Doula Services is proud to provide families with the highest quality of postpartum doula support available in our area and is honored to be of service to you during this incredibly important time in your family’s life. We currently serve families in San Diego County and Orange County, CA.

At One Moon Doula Services, we believe that the weeks and months following the birth of a newborn is a fragile and fleeting times. Parents are often overwhelmed with lack of sleep, the newness of their roles and responsibilities, and the seemingly constant needs of the newborn/s. While conditions usually rapidly improve after the first few weeks, getting enough sleep and support in the meantime can make all the difference between enjoying those early days and simply enduring them. It is our mission to help you envision what you desire for your family’s transition, and to provide a range of services to protect and promote that experience.

Whether you are looking for overnight support, meal preparation and light housekeeping, sibling support and household organization, breastfeeding or bottle-feeding information, or education about newborn development and postpartum health, our doulas are poised and ready to be your resource and your guide. Non-judgmental, professional, and compassionate support is what we are all about.

Our doulas undergo professional training, mentoring, and ongoing continuing education to remain current, informed, and sensitive to the needs of each unique family. The agency owner is steadfast in her commitment to orienting families to what they can expect after the birth of their child or children, help them determine what services can best benefit their particular family, and arrange for them to select the doula that best meets their needs.

“One Moon Doula was hands-down the best pregnancy ‘purchase’ I made. It was truly an investment that has made us better parents – and we have a happier infant because of it. Quite honestly, the only time I slept peacefully in those first few weeks was when our postpartum doula was at our home. She offered a peace of mind that was invaluable during those first few weeks. And she helped me enjoy the experience, rather than just live through it. I truly believe that the doula’s help made me a much more confident parent and I would highly recommend her services.”
“Just weeks before my scheduled C-section in December 2016, my original postpartum care plan (family) had changed and I was left scrambling to find help the last minute. Kathryn was wonderful in organizing interviews, asked what type of help I need, solicit feedback and adjust her service accordingly. She has a group of wonderful doulas that were all qualified and easy to work with. Kathryn and her doulas helped ease my nerve as a first time mom! She is very accommodating and understanding- which is always appreciated when things kept changing during the first few weeks. Thank you!”
