“mothers must mother
each other, too.”
- Vicki Rivard, brave new mama
Hi, I’m Melissa
I’m a registered social worker and a mom to four-year-old twins. I’m also a certified birth doula, postpartum doula and yoga teacher. I’ve spent over 15 years specializing in women’s mental health, providing connection and meaningful support to diverse groups of women. I’m an associate counsellor specializing in perinatal mental health with the Canadian Perinatal Wellness Collective.
I believe in the power of connection and relationships.
My goal is to help you feel empowered, informed, seen and heard.
“Melissa could not have been a more powerful or adaptable force during the birth of our daughter. She was incredibly present and compassionate before, during and after the labour. Her experiences in life and work have clearly contributed to her ability to support people in the prenatal and birthing journey. I can’t speak highly enough about the light Melissa shines and the grounding support she provides.”
