About Neshama
The heart of Neshama is to strengthen & empower mothers and couples in birth. At Neshama I carry an emphasis on providing evidence based educational resources to parents. These resources show options available with an awareness of the risks and benefits of each, empowering parents to make the decisions that are right for their family. Whether you choose to pursue a natural birth, epidural, cesarean or other option for your family, I am passionate in every stage of labor about working with mom to increase feelings of comfort and safety while offering guidance for smooth progression of labor. At Neshama I work with clients from every background and walk of life with a focus on carrying peace into the birth room as mom's strength soars and shines. I am particularly passionate in working with moms who have had a disheartening birth experience; bringing empowerment and a refreshed joy in the beauty of birth. Birth can be an incredibly healing, beautiful experience and it is a cherished honor to come alongside mothers walking their journey into just that.
Why "Neshama"?
Neshama
"Then the Lord God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the (neshama) breath of life; and man became a living being." ~ Genesis 2:7
Neshama, Hebrew for "breath" or "soul", is to me a constant reminder that each of us are fearfully and wonderfully made, chosen before time, wanted, and knit together in our mother's womb with intentional purpose for relationship with Him.
At the Heart of Neshama
My name is Janelle Moore
I've grown up in Arizona since early childhood and am in love with our Superstition mountains and the desert beauty around. My journey has taken me around the world and back learning to serve and work with children and adults, and I wouldn't take back a moment of any of it. I discovered the beauty of birth work while supporting a loved one in labor and have been honored to serve mamas and their little ones since. My heart in birth work is to create a supported space where mamas thrive. Where they are strengthened, supported, educated and encouraged in every way as they and their family welcome their littlest into the world. When not at a birth, preparing for birth or studying birth I'll typically be found working with kids, hiking, reading or learning to worship with my guitar.
