Carson Meyer

Entering Motherhood

Having a birth doula has officially entered the cultural zeitgeist. A doula is a non-medical companion who can support clients physically and emotionally throughout childbirth. One of the leaders in this space is Carson Meyer. Meyer is a powerhouse who has worked with a range of notables from Gigi Hadid to Mandy Moore. She’s also the founder of C & The Moon, a luxury non-toxic beauty company that makes a body scrub and body oil that will quite literally transform your skin. Meyer doesn’t gatekeep, she openly shares her wisdom, favorite products and tips with her clients and the community around her. We sat down with her to chat about stepping into motherhood, essential advice for others and of course, her favorite Goldie tees. 

What was it like giving birth after practicing as a doula for so many years? 

Giving birth was wild! It was the hardest thing I've ever done but the most rewarding magnificent experience. Being a doula for years before becoming a mother myself prepared me in so many ways and I am forever grateful for each and every client who taught me so much about motherhood along the way. I felt as prepared as I could be and at the same time it was unlike anything I could have imagined. After witnessing so many different births I knew that giving birth at home was very important to me and a choice I never questioned for a second. My community of birthworker friends and colleagues were so supportive of me in my pregnancy and postpartum. My hope for every mama is that they too have access to that kind of community, knowledge and support.
