Badas$ Birthing

CPD and CLES providing full spectrum doula support in the Los Angeles area. My name is Melanie Cruz, and I grew up in Aurora, Colorado.

I have been passionate about birth ever since I was supposed to see one of my younger sisters come into the world when I was nine. Although that didn’t end up working out because of an emergency cesarean birth, my fascination with all things related to birth, birthing, babies and our bodies never left. Even in college when I was studying English and Theatre, I found myself spending precious hours

reading books on midwifery, birthing and breastfeeding. Right around this time was also when I was able to attend the birth of my baby sister, which only cemented my interest in the birth world. An accomplished actor, I spent years trying to figure out how to combine my two passions. I even went back to college and did all of my prereqs to potentially go to grad school to obtain my Masters in Nurse-Midwifery. In the winter of 2020, I signed up for a DONA birth doula training at Bini Birth and haven’t looked back. I just finished the 15-week CPD course at Allo Doula Academy and will be taking the board exam to obtain my CPD certification in June. My passion is providing empowered and intentional fertility, birth and postpartum services for my clients.
