About Lotus Moon Birth
Serving the Los Angeles area
Lotus Moon Birth was founded by Shelia Feldman, LM, CPM, and IBCLC. She began her career in midwifery after feeling the empowerment that came with birthing her own children in 2000 and 2001. She is a birth doula and certified Bradley Method instructor who helps mothers and their partners learn how to have healthy, normal, natural births. As Shelia continued her journey in the birthing world, she felt called to also become a licensed home birth midwife and an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. Shelia graduated from the National College of Midwifery and is trained by the American Association of Family Physicians in Advanced Life Support in Obstetrics. And is certified in adult, infant, and child CPR in addition to neonatal resuscitation. She is a great resource for couples who want a more natural mindset when it comes to pregnancy and childbirth.
Services
Lotus Moon Birth offers home birth midwifery for clients in the Los Angeles and San Fernando Valley areas. She helps families experience a safe, calm, peaceful, and respectful environment during pregnancy checkups and during the transformational event of childbirth. These services include birth tubs for water births.
Lactation services include consultations where nursing parents can receive help with breastfeeding issues, extending the amount of time they can feed and nourish their baby with human milk. The benefits of breastmilk are extensive, and Shelia strives to educate and support breastfeeding mothers throughout their feeding journey.
Specialty
Home birth care includes prenatal visits in the office and in a client’s home. Visits with midwives include prenatal nutrition advice, emotional check-ins, and overall prenatal monitoring. Labs are conducted in the office.
Lotus Moon Birth also offers newborn exams that are compassionate and loving. These exams are performed by a midwife within an hour of birth. All newborn exams are done with a family-centric approach; the baby is weighed, and vitals are taken in the most gentle way possible.
This practice supports water births, offering birth tubs for patients who want to use one. This can be an effective comfort measure during labor and can facilitate easier entry into the world for the baby. A large inflatable tub will be brought to the client’s home when they go into labor.
In addition to birthing services, Lotus Moon Birth offers education as a part of prenatal care. This includes nutrition counseling and tools to manage emotional well-being during pregnancy. Patients can also take CPR and first aid classes. The educational approach to pregnancy enhances the entire experience and is part of what makes midwifery care unique.
