Luna Birth Care
A passionate advocate for birthing people and their families based in South Wales, offering antenatal, birth, and postnatal support – remotely and in person
The area I cover
In person I support South Wales, West to Swansea, North into Powys, and East into Bristol, Clevedon and surrounding areas. In short, I can travel within 1 hour of Cwmbran (NP44). However please get in touch, if the distance is too great we can discuss remote support.
Getting in touch
More about me
You’ve landed here because something within you is seeking support, connection, and care during a huge personal transitions. Welcome! You may know exactly what you want from your doula, or may just be curious. Either way, having a chat is a great way to find out more, and see if I’m a good fit for you at the same time.
What I Offer
I provide attuned, inclusive support through pregnancy, birth, and the postnatal period. My role is to walk beside you – protecting your space, listening deeply, and helping you feel safe and informed. I offer:
-
Antenatal Support In-person or remote sessions tailored to your needs. I can help explore past experiences and birth preferences, hold space for your emotions and questions, even accompany you to appointments if needed.
-
Birth Support A calm, grounded presence to advocate for your autonomy, mediate with care providers if needed, and support you however birth unfolds.
-
Postnatal Care Breastfeeding support, sling and babywearing help, or simply holding your baby while you rest. I also offer trauma-informed birth debriefs for birthing people and partners.
All support is led by you – your needs, your pace, your choices.
A Bit About Me
I’ve often found myself supporting people through vulnerable, transformative moments. After having my own child, I trained as a Breastfeeding Peer Supporter and ran a local group I loved. The more I learnt about the experiences of parents before during and after birth, becoming a doula felt like a natural next step, my soul purpose.
I’m emotionally sensitive and resilient, eclectic and grounded. I love being outdoors, carving wood, crocheting, foraging, or curled up with chocolate and a good film. I believe in autonomy, emotional safety, and the quiet power of being truly seen. I don’t do judgement, but I do show up with fierce care and gentle strength.
Inclusive Care
While I use the word women in parts of my story, I offer support to all birthing people – LGBTQIA+, trans, non-binary, and anyone who feels drawn to my presence. I also have significant experience supporting people with low vision, blindness, and other physical challenges.
