About me

I am Mo, an Uncovering Birth doula. I believe birth is your own personal, sacred journey and I exist to keep it that way. I support mothers in MD and PA who are interested in low-intervention, natural birth experiences.

During this vulnerable time of transition, I work to ensure mothers are nurtured, informed, heard, held, and respected throughout the entire process. By developing an open & trusting relationship with you, we will elevate this journey of transformative growth by unlocking your innate, inner wisdom and power–one breath at a time.

Empowerment, Support, Rituals, Meditation, Movement, Advocacy and more.

My services

Advocacy
During your birth experience, I exist to support you and your birth vision. Together, we will navigate the unexpected with informed consent and an unbreakable sense of calm.


Support
During pregnancy, labor and postpartum, I will tailor my offerings to best support you and your partner’s individual style, needs & desires. Beginning with the breath and expanding exponentially from there.


Resources
Together, we will prepare for your birth journey by studying the process of labor and how to optimally support its natural unfolding. Educational & community resources and recommendations to be shared.


Ceremony
Becoming a mother is a time of rebirth–a rite of passage. Through intimate ceremonial rituals together, you will release fear & trauma, welcome maternal blessings, and more.

Frequently asked questions

  • A doula is a non-medical, birth professional, who creates a safe space for birthing people and their loved ones.  A doula provides physical, emotional, and informational support throughout the pregnancy, birth, and early postpartum period.

    Find out more about the research regarding the benefits of doula care here.

  • Yes and no. I will learn your wishes about your birth, and if one of those wishes is being threatened, I will help you make the best choice for yourself by using BRAIN: what are the benefits of this?, what are the risks? the alternatives? what is your intuition telling you? and what if we do nothing? A doula will remind you of why you wanted your options in your birth preferences and help you feel empowered enough to advocate for yourself.

  • I am not a certified childbirth educator so I highly encourage my clients to attend/enroll in at least one childbirth education course. I offer a discount for Uncovering Birth Masterclass, here.

    I will provide a wellspring of educational information in your Educational Resources Packet including the stages + signs of labor, birth positions, birth myths, partner support, birthing affirmations, relaxation tips, and packing & preparing for your birthing space.

  • Also known as a Birth Plan, a Birth Vision is a written tool that communicates your priorities, preferences, and goals -before, during, and after you give birth. 

    Creating a birth plan often becomes an opportunity for soon to be parents to approach topics they haven't thought about before.  They can research and discuss choices ahead of time for any issues or tough situations that could occur.  They should include any fears or concerns they have about the birth process.  It is important to discuss this plan with your care provider, to ensure these options are available and that they are willing to accommodate your wishes.  

    Because birth is truly impossible to plan, creating your own Birth Vision helps you have more control of your birth experience, no matter what direction it may go.

My story

After achieving and experiencing my own natural, empowering birth experience with the support of a doula, my heart was set on helping others do the same. In this current medical system, the mother’s voice is undermined and gaslighted at almost every turn and policies are prioritized over our personal desires. Now is the time to put the power back where it belongs: in the hands of the mother. It’s my passion to ensure this and help women feel as incredible as they deserve after bringing new life into this world–the greatest, sacrificial act there is.

I selected an intimate doula training container with mentorship, in-depth education, and an amazing community of open-hearted women known as Uncovering Birth, lead by Eyla Cuenca, Childbirth Educator and Doula with a BA in Anthropology from Bennington College, specializing in family systems and institutional critique. As an affiliate of the Uncovering Birth community, I am happy to share discounts on UB’s unique library of birth classes, programs, and resources.
