Hi! I’m Lydia Dietterle (she/her), and I am the owner of New Moon Nurturing. I am a certified Postpartum Doula and have been a private nanny for 15 years.

As a nanny, I have had the experience of welcoming new babies home, and knowing just how overwhelming and isolating those early days can be for parents. During the first months parents can feel like they have to do it all alone, and find that they may not have the supports they need. My experience has shown me that along with help with the baby, parents need someone who can listen with empathy, offer gentle guidance, and help them feel seen and not alone.

These experiences led me into my Postpartum Doula practice. This work is a natural extension of who I am and what I am meant to do. As a Postpartum Doula, I am here to help you rest, and feel confident and nurtured in the early stages of parenthood.

When I am not working with a postpartum family or nannying, you can find me taking long walks around Assiniboine or Kildonan Park, sewing with my mom, trying new local restaurants or having game nights with friends! My community is important to me, and my Doula practice allows me to be a part of the community in a meaningful way.

I would be honored to serve your family as you welcome your new baby home and am committed to being a active member in supporting you.
