Hello! I am a mostly native Texan, committed to growth, grassroots communit​y and holistic healthy families. I believe in the power of joyful living. Outside of the coaching and birthing worlds, I love to run, garden, bake, read, travel, draw, sing, play sports, walk in the ocean, hike, dance, smell campfires, watch snow fall and put on brand new socks. 
​
I graduated from Rice University in 1998 with a BA in Political Science & Policy Studies.  I then served in the Teach for America Program, a two-year service commitment to the local school system.

David M. Moore, LCSW ​ 
Individual, Couples, & Family Therapy   
​Studies show that most marriages with challenges end approximately two years after the arrival of a child. I would be willing   to bet that most of us have never evaluated our communication style, family of origin issues, or current marital stressors.   And for some of us, we are nearing the end of our marital rope! Sometimes, we are beyond communication tools, sometimes   the issues are too severe for coaching alone. Being proactive about where you are and what you want out of this experience   and learning about your partner and their needs is a crucial piece of making and keeping a happy marriage and family. 

David graduated from Southwestern University in 1993 with a triple major in History, Psychology and Communications.  He worked as Team Leader and Director of Training Development in the Serve Houston Americorps Program. He went on to graduate

I received my certification in early childhood education as well as bilingual education and taught for five years in H.I.S.D. and with the K.I.P.P. Academy charter school.  

​I left the teaching field to join Houston's first public television station, HousonPBS (KUHT) as an Education & Outreach Coordinator, providing community  education and  professional training on media literacy, early reading skills, etc.  I decided to change course in 2007  and joined  the UH Women's Studies program as a program manager.  

​In my personal life, I gave birth to my daughter, Ada, in 2006 via induction (low amniotic fluid level) and unwanted cesarian section.   After six months of post-partum depression, I began reflecting on the birth, reaching out to support groups and decided to explore different options including a change in practitioner, hospital and adding a doula for the next time around. 

In 2008, I gave birth to my son, Jonah, via natural, unmedicated vaginal birth.  This was a deeply moving experience for me and a catalyst for my involvement in the holistic birth philosophy. Regardless of how babies came into the world, Mother's needed to feel empowered.  In 2010, Eden joined our family in the quiet intimacy of home - bringing still more awe about birth. We went on to add a final chapter to our birthing story with the quick, intimate delivery of our last child, Odin, in 2013 in our living room amidst all of his sister's and brother's toys.  

I worked in the world of birth and postpartum for over 15 years, learning so much about what's missing in our culture for women and their families. I watched my postpartum groups grow strong empowered, loving women who moved forward in long term communities that started right in my living room! I was in awe of what women can do when they are connected to each other, supported well and allowed to follow their intuition. 

I was excited to begin my next chapter of life coaching in 2021 where I hope to continue helping women become who they want to be with skills, support and community.
