About me
Hello! My name is Monica, but you can call me Moni. I am a licensed midwife, doula, newborn care specialist, childbirth educator, and yoga instructor with 28 years of experience. I’ve attended thousands of births in homes, hospitals, and birth centers, including VBACs and cesareans. My passion lies in providing comprehensive and compassionate care that extends well beyond birth and into the postpartum period, always prioritizing education, information, and support. As a doula, midwife & yoga instructor, I offer tools to prepare your body during pregnancy for labor and help your baby find an optimal position for an easier birth. I’m also the creator of MoonWise Motherhood—a whole body and mind educational program and supportive community designed to support, educate and guide women through pregnancy, birth, postpartum recovery, and early newborn care. Additionally, I handcraft soothing soaps, lotions, and balms for babies and women. Outside of work, I enjoy playing the piano, writing, crocheting, and crafting beautiful things. My goal is to provide comprehensive information as well as a comforting, personalized touch to every family's journey, ensuring each experience is smooth and easier.

Labor/Birth Monitrice Support
A monitrice is a Doula who is a licensed or registered healthcare provider that, in addition to Doula support, also provides clinical assessments during labor.
As a Licensed Midwife and Doula, I provide clinical assessments such as vital sign monitoring, intermittent fetal heart tone auscultation, assessment of signs and symptoms, cervical exams for dilation (only if, and when, requested), monitoring mom for signs that it's time to head to the hospital.
Monitrice support is especially helpful in situations where you would prefer to labor at home for as long as possible but would still like the benefit of being monitored for peace of mind.
It can also be especially helpful should you have a long prodromal or early labor and would prefer to be assessed at home rather than heading to the hospital too soon.
This can help determine whether or not you are actually in labor, baby’s position and tools to help move Prodromal labor into active labor, etc.
No diagnoses will be made from these assessments but they are helpful in helping you determine when to head in and give you peace of mind while you labor at home.
Any decisions as to next steps based on the assessments will be made solely by the parents, not the monitrice.
Midwife Moni will chart clinical assessments so that you can report them to your provider upon hospital admission or prior, when necessary.
This service includes 2 prenatal birth planning visits, Labor monitrice/doula support in your home before heading to the hospital/birth center as well as doula support in the hospital throughout labor and birth.
1 Postpartum visit in your home (including clinical assessment for you to report to your provider upon request).
This service may also be offered a la carte on an hourly basis (see package below) of $625 per hour (helpful in cases where you would just like an assessment at home in early labor but do not require full labor support).

In Home Labor Check/Prodromal Labor Guidance
Is it time to head to the hospital? Is it really labor or just Prodromal labor?
Or perhaps you’ve been experiencing Prodromal labor for days or even weeks and want recommendations on how to get Prodromal labor to turn into active labor.
With 30 years experience, I’ve seen this happen time and time again.
This includes up to a 90 minute assessment in your home to include education and recommendations that can assist you in the decision making process.
Monitrice support is especially helpful in situations where you would prefer to labor at home for as long as possible but would still like the benefit of being monitored for peace of mind.
It can also be especially helpful should you have a long prodromal or early labor and would prefer to be assessed at home rather than heading to the hospital too soon.
