Welcome! My name is Melanie (she/her).
I am a Birthing From Within® advanced mentor and a Birthing From Within® Certified
doula.
I have lived a few places in the United States, including the Montana, Arizona, &
California. However, I spent my childhood in southern Idaho and now I am happy
to call Spokane, WA my home. I received my Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science
and a minor in Native American Studies from The University of Montana. I live with
my two amazing kiddos, my supportive husband and our 2 dogs. I love camping, hiking
and fishing in the summer and downhill skiing in the winter.
I am a full spectrum doula, offering personal support to people moving through the
various shades of the reproductive spectrum; pregnancy, birth, miscarriage, loss and
postpartum.
My goal is to provide respect and loving support that is unique to who you are and shaped to what you need, whatever
they may be.
