Meet Melissa
Melissa started attending homebirths in 2003 because she wanted to make a difference in women's health care. She has always been drawn to the midwifery model of care because of how much it enables her to empower other women. It's a model where women are truly heard, honored, and cared for as whole beings, not just bodies. She is grateful for the opportunity to form trusting and nurturing relationships with her clients while at the same time providing a high level of experienced medical care.
