Mother. Space Holder. Friend.
Hey y’all — I’m Samantha, the heart behind Mushmoon Mama.
I’m so glad you found your way here.
I’m a North Carolina native, currently living on land originally tended by the Cheraw people (Madison). Most of my days are spent wrapped up in the wild, sacred work of motherhood, friendship, and tending to the land. I’m also a birth doula, space holder, retreat facilitator, aspiring chef, traveler, homesteader, and outdoor adventurer — always learning, always evolving.
Over the years, I’ve called a few different places home — including seasons spent in Texas and Kansas, where I worked closely with cows and horses and deepened my love for wide-open skies, experiencing new cultures, and slow living. I’m a lifelong horse girl, a devoted dog mama, and someone who finds deep joy in sharing love through food, travel, and meaningful conversation.
Mushmoon Mama bloomed from my own journey into holistic healing back in 2019. What started as a personal path has now become a space for others to feel held, seen, and remembered — especially during the big life transitions that ask us to soften, surrender, and rise.
I’ve navigated deep grief, divorce, single motherhood, and more than a few seasons of shedding and becoming. I know what it means to feel like you’re holding it all together while quietly unraveling. Sometimes we just need space — a gentle container, a kind presence, and the support of herbal allies — to help us move through it all with grace and grounding.
I support women and birthing folks through the sacred thresholds of life: birth, rebirth, loss, healing, and all the quiet moments in between. Whether you’re preparing to welcome new life, healing something tender, or simply craving a deeper connection to your body and spirit — I’m here to walk beside you.
While I hold a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Colorado State University and am completing a Masters in Counseling through Wake Forest University – I truly believe my greatest teachers have been Spirit, the Earth, indigenous wisdom, and the many beautiful humans and animals who’ve shared their stories and hearts with me along the way.
Every product I offer is handmade in small batches with intention — using local or wild-foraged ingredients whenever I can. Every service I offer is rooted in presence, compassion, and deep listening.
Mushmoon Mama is for everyone. I welcome all identities and backgrounds with open arms and a soft heart. My promise is to meet you where you are, with care that helps you feel safe, seen, and supported.
So, whether you’re here for a retreat, a cup of tea, a deep conversation, or a moment to breathe — welcome.
Let’s move through this season of life together — with tenderness, intention, and just a little bit of magic.
With love,
Samantha | Mushmoon Mama 🌙
