About Me
Hi, I’m Dez —a perinatal professional, doula, and advocate for empowering families during one of life’s most transformative journeys. With years of experience and advanced studies in perinatal mental health, my passion is helping parents feel seen, supported, and confident as they welcome new life.
​
At Lunar Love, I specialize in prenatal education, labor support, and postpartum care, with a focus on holistic, compassionate services tailored to your unique needs. Whether we’re crafting your ideal birth plan, walking through the intensity of labor together, or navigating the tender postpartum period, I’m here to offer guidance, encouragement, and practical care.
​
Maternal mental health is at the heart of everything I do. From addressing concerns like postpartum depression and anxiety to integrating mental wellness into every step of your journey, I’m committed to holding space for your emotional and physical wellbeing.
​
I dream of a future where every parent feels supported by a community that truly cares. As I work toward creating programs that center maternal mental health and informed decision-making, I’m honored to stand by you, helping to make this chapter one of strength, love, and resilience.
It’s a joy to be part of your story—thank you for letting me support you.
