Moana M Meadow – Spirit Guide

Moana is an incredibly talented healer, guide, and all around really good person to have around when you are going through a huge life transition for better or for worse. I’m impressed with her grace, sense of humor, and grounded nature. I have attended her women’s group as well as private sessions and in both experiences, I felt very seen, gotten, cared for, and helped. Very helpful and wise woman! I highly recommend working with her.

The birth of our first child wasn’t the natural experience my wife and I had envisioned. We had carefully written out a birth plan that was to start with a spontaneous contractions at home, strong labor at home with our original doula, and finish with the drug-​free delivery of our son. But what really happened was an induction, our original doula being predisposed with a family emergency, and my wife being medicated and monitored like the bionic woman.
With the chaos of losing our original doula just before the due date, it was too late to try and interview other candidates, so we just accepted the assigned back-​up with great anxiety. But, all of our fears were unfounded, as Moana stepped in and did an amazing job.
She came and met with us before the big day, she was a calming presence in a difficult delivery situation, and was just a star throughout the whole process. Everything from her showing up promptly in the hospital, focusing our energy, telling us everything was ok (and meaning it), and being supportive after the birth, she was just great. We didn’t end up with a magical birth story, but we did end up with a healthy, happy baby boy and we highly recommend Moana for her services

I cannot recommend Moana highly enough if you are looking for a grounded, calm, supportive doula. I wanted to have a natural childbirth and shared my wishes with Moana. My labor was very long (spanning over 3 days) and difficult (Imagine pushing for 5 hours after several days without sleep). For those who have been through such an intense experience, you know that it’s good to have someone with their feet on the ground, planted firmly on the earth, because you enter a very different realm of being. She did that for me. I love her for it.

Moana stepped in for my regular doula on very short notice and was a lovely and calm influence for our external cephalic version appointment. I was able to consult with her and I found her to be thorough, kind and considerate. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a doula!
