Hi, I'm Melissa (she/her).

Certified Birth Doula &

Certified Breastfeeding Counselor.

I’m all about giving new little humans and their families the best start possible. Originally an educator from Germany, I changed tracks to help parents transform the intensity of birth into a powerful experience of resilience, a deep sense of accomplishment, and a beautiful connection with their baby.

"Birth does not ask you to be fearless. It asks you to be brave."

– Britta Bushnell, PhD, Author

 

 

 

“If I don’t know my options,

I don’t have any.”

– Diana Korte, Medical Journalist

What Parents Say

“Melissa's doula services were incomparable. I felt very comfortable during all the preparation exercises for the birth - she assisted me at home, guiding me and lending me the necessary tools to practice. She was available 24/7 and helped make my delivery the best experience.”
