Honeybee Doula

Honeybee Doula The word "Doula" comes from the greek meaning a woman who serves. It is an honor to serve families Hi! My name is Melissa.

I am a wife, a mother of 3 busy bees and a birth doula! The birth of my children led me down the path to doula-hood. I was so scared with the birth of my first child over nine years ago. The fear took over me and closed my eyes to the wonderful things that my body was capable of doing. Six years later brought the birth of my daughter. With the help of a dear friend (also a trained doula), my husba

nd and my mother, I was able feel the empowerment that comes with birthing your baby your way! A short 21 months later, baby #3 completed our family. After his birth, I knew that I would not have any more children but becoming a doula would be my next step. Helping other women feel safe, supported, loved and empowered during their births would fulfill my heart! In January 2013, I became a DONA trained doula and since have had the honor of witnessing the miracle birth. No matter how you want to give birth whether it’s at a hospital, birth center or at home. Whether you want a medicated or un-medicated birth or if you are having a cesarean; it would be an honor to be your doula! I serve the LA, San Fernando Valley, Westlake/Thousand Oaks and Santa Clarita areas. Please contact me for availibitly, price and to schedule a “meet-and-greet.”

There are so many things I love about being a doula but I absolutely love postpartum visits! We talk about how things are going and I get to see cute little babes but we also get to relive her birth. I love listening to these strong mama's remember their moments of strength, weaknesses and the moment when then became a mother! Earlier this week, I got to visit sweet Ezra and his amazing mommy! We remembered the moment when she surrendered and trusted her body to do what it was meant to do! It was a beautiful water birth at Gracefull!
