Mel Caroline Steinberg is a certified postpartum doula through Birthing Advocacy Doula Trainings and the founder of New Moon Maine. After seven years teaching a K-2 class, she began supporting friends and family through birth, loss, and fertility with food, listening, and practical care, then moved into community postpartum work. She supports people after birth, loss, abortion, adoption, or other postpartum transitions with nourishing food, herbs, presence, and connection to resources. Her own early postpartum experience, and the support she received, further shaped the care she offers. She aims for inclusive, nonjudgmental, comfortable support and has a background in community food systems and cooking.
