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.

For more than 5 years, I've joyfully supported families through their transformative journeys. From offering guidance on fertility paths to being a steadfast companion during pregnancy, labor, and birth, and extending into the cherished moments of postpartum and beyond. I've been honored to walk alongside countless families. I operate as a full-spectrum doula, offering not just professional guidance but heartfelt encouragement through every significant milestone. My mission is to provide unwavering support and ensure that every birthing experience is filled with empowerment, comfort, and understanding.
