MELISSA PHILIPPE

Hello, I’m Melissa, Blissful Births's proud owner and founder. As an Afro-Indigenous Traditional Midwife, Women's Health Activist and Holistic Wellness and Spiritual Practitioner. I’m dedicated to providing compassionate and holistic care to mothers and families throughout the profound journeys of birth and end-of-life transitions. With a strong foundation as a maternal educator, breastfeeding and lactation consultant, and birthkeeper, I offer various services designed to support every aspect of maternal care. My approach is deeply rooted in the eight pillars of wellness, ensuring that every client receives physically nurturing and emotionally and spiritually enriching care. At Blissful Births, we provide luxury personalised prenatal, postpartum, and postnatal care and end-of-life support. My commitment is to empower families, helping them navigate these significant life moments with confidence and grace. I’m passionate about educating others, and as a mental health educator, I strive to foster environments where holistic health and well-being are prioritised. My services are tailored to embrace the natural rhythms of life, honouring traditional practices and herbal wisdom, reflecting my love for herbology and organic living. Gardening and growing spiritually in nature are central to my life. These passions inspire my work, where I blend ancient wisdom with modern care techniques, offering a unique and comprehensive approach to maternal and end-of-life services. Through Blissful Births, I aim to help families discover the beauty and strength within themselves, in alignment with the natural world and the divine.

I recently had the privilege of experiencing the exceptional services provided by Blissful Births, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. As an Afro-Indigenous Birth Keeper, Melissa Phillipe brings a unique blend of traditional wisdom and modern expertise to her practice, creating a holistic and supportive environment for mothers and families. Melissa's compassionate and personalised approach was evident in every interaction, from prenatal care to postpartum support. Her extensive knowledge as a maternal educator and breastfeeding consultant was invaluable, providing me with the information and confidence I needed to guide other families. The doula training and mentorship I received were thorough and empowering, equipping me with the skills necessary to support other mothers effectively. One of the standout aspects of Blissful Births is Melissa's dedication to creating a nurturing and spiritual atmosphere. Her holistic methods, including herbal and natural remedies, resonated deeply with my desire for an organic and mindful birthing experience. The emphasis on mental health education also ensured that my emotional well-being was prioritised, contributing to a positive and balanced overall experience. Melissa's passion for her work and genuine care for her clients shine through in every aspect of Blissful Births. If you seek a knowledgeable, supportive, and holistic birth professional, I wholeheartedly recommend Blissful Births. My experience was nothing short of transformative, and I am grateful for the profound impact Melissa and her team had on my journey into motherhood.

Babies have always been my passion! Like Tisha said, I always knew my career would be working with babies. I applied to nursing school knowing I was going to work in OB and that's exactly what I did. After having my first child in 2014 I realized the need for more lactation consultants. I struggled a lot with him and had no one to turn to for answers, so I began doing my own research. I was determined to make this work. And that is how my lactation career started! I started my lactation training not even knowing if I would be able to get a job doing what I had become so passionate about. My family and I made some life changes and everything fell right into place. Tisha and I always casually talked about starting a business but never in my wildest dreams did I think it would actually happen. But here we are! I absolutely love my job and could talk about breastfeeding all day long. I strive to do everything I can to help each mom meet their personal breastfeeding goals. I am very passionate about tongue ties and food allergies in breastfeeding since I personally experienced that with my 2 nursing journeys. Breastfeeding does not come naturally for everyone and it definitely isn't as easy as some think. That's why I have made it my life mission to educate every mom and give them all the tools and support needed to be successful!

Dionne, you were such an amazing help to both Matthew and I! I loved meeting your family and having you alongside us through labor! We would not have had the experience we did if it was not for your support and encouragement and energy! Thank you so so so much!!!

I found Dionne later down the line in my pregnancy. I had known from my first pregnancy that if I gave birth again, I wanted a doula on my care team. Dionne is well versed in the medical field and truly an asset of you’re seeking doula services. I’m glad she decided to support me through the end of my pregnancy and during birth, along with her assistant. Thank you both!
