Welcome

With over 15 years experience as a doula and 5 years as a massage therapist, my heart is for each mama to have a positive pregnancy and birth experience. Everything I offer is in support of mamas and expectant families to grow and thrive.

Whether you visit for a massage, come for a class, choose placenta encapsulation or are looking for a Doula you are certain to find support for your birthing journey.

It meant a lot to my partner and I to have Mel in our corner the entire time. During labor, we kept getting new nurses and new midwifes, while Mel provided much appreciated continuity of care. The frequent bodywork while in labor helped tremendously. Bodywork is my favorite healthcare modality and I am sure I would have been in a lot more pain and stress without her healing touch. Mel is full of knowledge and experience regarding pregnancy and labor, so it was great to use her as a resource whenever something came up.

Physically and emotionally my Doula provided exactly what I needed. My Doula helped me stay mentally present and engaged with my birth.

Hiring New Life Doula services was such a great decision and gave me the chance to have a truly exceptional birth experience. I felt supported as an individual but even better I felt my whole family was supported by her presence in the pregnancy and the birth.
