Welcome to Doula Things with Mel. I’m Melanie Sandoval, a full-spectrum doula with over six years of experience supporting individuals and families through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, loss, and every phase in between. My work is grounded in evidence-based care and guided by a trauma-informed approach. I am also a certified breastfeeding educator and childbirth educator, committed to creating spaces where families feel informed, empowered, and supported. As a proud first-generation Mexican-American, I offer bilingual services in English and Spanish, centering cultural humility and community care in everything I do. At the core of my philosophy is the belief that birth is not just a medical event — it’s a deeply personal, emotional, and transformative experience. I approach each relationship with compassion, respect, and a commitment to listening deeply. Whether I’m teaching, providing hands-on support, or simply holding space, my goal is to meet people where they are and ensure they feel seen, heard, and valued throughout their journey.

As your doula and educator, I provide judgment-free, personalized support that meets you where you are. Whether it’s helping you find your voice to advocate for the birth experience you want, offering guidance as you settle into life with a newborn, or helping you bring order to your cluttered closet—I’m here for it! My Approach: Education That Empowers – Knowledge is a powerful tool. I provide resources, insight, and real-talk, not just textbook advice. Compassionate Coaching – I meet you where you are and help you navigate decisions with care. Practical Support – Whether holding the baby or organizing the pantry, I believe small acts can make a big impact.

Welcome! I’m Sabrina de la Rosa, an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), dedicated to supporting mothers and babies on their breastfeeding journey. As a mother of four, all of whom I breastfed, I understand the challenges and joys that come with breastfeeding. My passion for lactation began in 2016, inspired by my own experience as a new mother. This led me to become a breastfeeding support volunteer, and ultimately to pursue certification as an IBCLC. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Maternal Child Health from UI&U, which deepened my understanding of the unique needs of mothers and infants. For over 12 years, I’ve had the privilege of teaching pilates and wellness practices to women in my community, blending my love for fitness with my commitment to health. This holistic approach to well-being is the foundation of my lactation practice. Through my private practice, Nature’s Nectar Lactation Support, I offer personalized, compassionate lactation care to mothers and babies in the Rio Grande Valley. My goal is to empower you with the knowledge, tools, and support needed to achieve your breastfeeding goals. Whether you are struggling with latch issues, low milk supply, or just need guidance along the way, I am here to help. I also work with the State of Texas through the Department of Public Health, advocating for maternal and infant health and supporting families in achieving optimal health outcomes. Living in Texas with my husband and four children, I am deeply honored to serve my community and help mothers achieve success with breastfeeding. I believe that breastfeeding is not just about nourishment—it’s about creating a powerful bond between mother and child. I look forward to supporting you and your baby on this incredible journey.

My name is Sophie Perkins and I grew up in Kerrville, TX. I have been practicing as a doula since 2020, and I have fallen in love with this work. I have no children of my own, but my wonderful girlfriend and I have plans to expand our family. While I hope to be able to carry a child, we are very excited about the prospect of adopting or fostering children! My hobbies include spending time with my partner and pets, renovating our home, and reading. In 2016, a friend of mine got pregnant and hired a doula. Hearing her birth story was such a privilege and an eye opening experience! As the months passed, she shared with me honestly what it was like being a new mom–the sleep deprivation, confusion, visceral joy and love of having a child. I felt so honored that she would trust me, and I was inspired to find my place beside families as they welcome new children. I looked into doula work and was hooked immediately. After I was trained, I knew with certainty that I had found my passion.

I aid women in womb wellness through overall health and herbal healing by way of yoni steaming, abdominal chirapsia, and nutrition counseling. My doula duties are universally geared toward family-directed, physiologic childbirth, antenatal and postpartum care, newborn care, herbal remedies, reproductive care(pre-conception to postpartum) and placenta medicine.

Hi, my name is Alaya, owner of Lay Naturals. After experiencing womb complications of my own including PCOS, I turned to contraception for help only to find out later that it caused my womb issues to worsen. Eager to heal my womb, I switched over to a holistic lifestyle, changing my diet and studying herbalism. I reversed my womb issues and became passionate to help other women take back their power and heal their wombs. I am now a certified doula assisting women in every stage on their journey to motherhood including fertility, conception, pregnancy, birth and postpartum. I am so grateful that my experience has led me here. I am also a licensed massage therapist specializing in prenatal massage.
