Postpartum Doula

About Me

Hi, I'm Melissa! As a postpartum doula and newborn care specialist, I offer overnight support to new parents, providing a wide range of assistance for both parents and newborns, from feeding and soothing to creating a nurturing environment. I offer judgment-free support and meet parents exactly where they are. Supporting families through this new chapter is truly my calling.

I'm here to support you in your feeding journey, whether you choose to breastfeed, bottle feed, or combo feed. My goal is to ensure you feel confident and cared for during this new chapter of your life—with my expertise and compassionate approach, you can rest assured that you and your little one are in good hands.

I also have vast experience with multiples, including twins, triplets, and quadruplets, and I'm a parent to triplet boys myself, who are now 11 years old!

Practice Philosophy

My philosophy is rooted in offering judgment-free support and meeting parents exactly where they are. I believe every family's journey into parenthood is unique, and my role is to provide compassionate, nurturing care that helps you feel confident and supported, never judged, during this tender new chapter.

I'm here to support your feeding journey in whatever form it takes, whether you choose to breastfeed, bottle feed, or combo feed. From feeding and soothing to creating a calm, nurturing environment, I bring both expertise and a gentle, compassionate approach, so you can rest knowing you and your little one are in good hands.

Overall, my goal is to help you feel confident, cared for, and at ease as you settle into life with your newborn, supported with warmth, patience, and judgment-free care every step of the way.
