Welcome. I’m Cathleen Benjamin.

Womb-Centered Maternal Wellness Practitioner + Full-Spectrum Doula

I support women through fertility, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, womb wellness, and the many transitions that can happen throughout womanhood. My work is rooted in whole-person care.

That means we are not only looking at what is happening physically. We make room for the emotional, spiritual, cultural, and lived experiences that shape how you move through birth, motherhood, healing, and your relationship with your body.

Through doula support, womb-centered care, traditional practices, sound, somatic tools, education, and ceremony, I create spaces where women can slow down, feel supported, reconnect with themselves, and receive care that honors the whole person.

Serving Rockland, Westchester, and Orange Counties in New York, Bergen County, New Jersey, and select virtual clients.

HOW I SUPPORT YOU

There is no one way to move through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, loss, fertility or womb healing.

My work meets you where you are.

BIRTH + PRENATAL SUPPORT

Through Baby Moon Birth & Wellness, I offer full-spectrum doula care designed to help you feel informed, supported, and prepared throughout pregnancy and birth.

Support may include:

Prenatal preparation
Birth planning
Labor education
Comfort measures
Breathwork
Positioning and movement
Partner support
Advocacy and informed decision-making
Emotional support
Birth story preparation and processing

My role is not to make decisions for you.

My role is to make sure you have information, support, and space to make decisions that feel right for you.

POSTPARTUM + TRADITIONAL CARE

Birth is not the end of the journey.

Postpartum deserves just as much intention, preparation, and support.

My postpartum work centers the mother.

Support may include:

Postpartum doula care
Lactation and feeding support
Rest and recovery planning
Nourishment
Emotional support
Newborn care guidance
Haitian Bain Féy
Belly binding
Closing of the Bones
Postpartum steaming
Womb-centered bodywork
Sound and relaxation practices

I believe postpartum care should extend far beyond a quick six-week check-in.

The mother deserves to be cared for, witnessed, nourished, and supported as she moves into a new version of herself.

WOMB WELLNESS

The womb can hold much more than reproductive experiences.

For many women, womb-centered work becomes an opportunity to reconnect with the body, notice what has been ignored, and create space for greater awareness, softness, and self-trust.

My womb wellness offerings may include:

Womb massage
Womb assessments
Womb Journeying
Fertility support
Breathwork
Somatic practices
Guided meditation
Sound healing
Herbal support
Yoni steaming
Heart-womb connection practices
Reflective and emotional release work

For women seeking deeper support, I also offer longer-term Womb Journeying, where we work together over time rather than trying to rush the process in a single session.

This work moves at your pace.

HEALING + RESTORATION

Sometimes what we need is a space where we are not being asked to perform, produce, explain, or hold everything together.

My restorative offerings create room to come back into the body.

Depending on the experience, we may incorporate:

Sound healing
Breathwork
Meditation
Somatic practices
Movement
Water
Ceremony
Reflection
Sister circles
Womb-centered education

This work can happen privately or in community.

It is also the foundation of The Sweet Surrender, my signature womb-centered experience created for women who are ready to slow down, witness themselves, release what they are ready to release, and return to themselves with greater intention.

CULTURALLY ROOTED CARE

I am deeply influenced by the traditions, teachings, and ways of caring that have been passed through generations.

My practice makes room for cultural knowledge alongside modern maternal wellness education.

That can include Haitian postpartum traditions such as Bain Féy, herbal practices, water, sound, bodywork, ceremony, and the understanding that healing often involves more than what can be measured physically.

These practices are offered as complementary wellness support and are not intended to replace medical care.

I believe there is space for both.

There is space for clinical care.

There is space for ancestral knowledge.

There is space for evidence, intuition, community, and lived experience.

And there is space for the woman in the center of all of it.

WHY THIS WORK MATTERS TO ME

I did not arrive at this work through one straight path.

Before becoming a doula and womb practitioner, I moved through many versions of myself. Author. Community organizer. Corporate professional. Integrative wellness coach. Mother. Birth worker. Student. Healer.

Each chapter gave me another tool.

And each chapter brought me closer to understanding that so many women are carrying enormous responsibility while receiving very little space to be cared for themselves.

That understanding shapes everything I do.

I am interested in the mother behind the pregnancy.

The woman behind the womb.

The person behind the title and story.

You are more than the outcome we are working toward.

You deserve care along the way.
