About Joni M. Edelman

Joni M. Edelman of Thirteen Moons Birthwork has attended births for more than thirty years: as a doula, as a labor and delivery nurse, and outside the medical system. Her work centers on physiological birth, informed choice and respect for each woman's autonomy, offering perspective and clarity rather than pressure or fear.

She supports families in Austin and Central Texas with prenatal guidance, home birth preparation, birth support and traditional postpartum healing, including Closing of the Bones and Bengkung belly binding. She also teaches childbirth education and offers virtual 1:1 support.
