“Birth is a threshold - sacred, tender, and wild. It asks us to surrender, to rise, and to remember that we are never meant to walk alone”
Welcome to Lua Nova Birth
I hold space for parents navigating the transformative threshold of birth and early parenthood. My work is rooted in my lived experiences—as a mother, and as a student of nature.
Raised between Brazil and the U.S., I grew up in the in-between - learning to listen, adapt, and honor many ways of being. My academic path in global health and the human psyche brought me to birthwork, but it was becoming a mother during the height of the pandemic that fully cracked me open to the profound need for support, softness, and sanctuary in the perinatal space.
I know what it means to feel isolated in early motherhood. I’ve lived the reality of being under-resourced, sleep-deprived, and stretched thin. And I’ve experienced the healing that becomes possible when we are seen, supported, and reminded that we are not alone.
My mission is to offer grounded, compassionate care that honors your unique journey - whether you are birthing at home, in a hospital, or anywhere in between.
This is more than support. It is ceremony.
It is community.
It is care that sees the whole of you.
Let’s create a new way of being held, together.
