I have over 19 years of experience that range from being a Newborn Care Specialist, a preschool lead teacher, a professional nanny (full time and part time), a daycare classroom teacher (newborns and toddlers), a babysitter, a birthday party chaperone, a full spectrum Doula (Fertility, Birth, and Postpartum), a Pediatric Sleep Trainer and Consultant, and much more. My educational background is just as substantial. I hold a Bachelors in Family and Consumer Sciences, Masters in Child, Youth, and Family Studies, and certifications in the following areas; Newborn Care Specialist, Breastfeeding Specialist, Birth Doula, Postpartum Doula, Fertility Doula, Fertility Advocate, Pediatric Sleep Consultant/Trainer, Medication Administration, SIDS, Adult and Infant First Aid & CPR, and more. I value enhancing my knowledge and skills and not only do I learn through courses and schooling, but I also reads books, stay up to date with research and data, have a mentor, and I shadow and learn from other experts in the field.

I can't speak highly enough about Shaniqua. She is warm, extremely knowledgeable, and puts you at total ease. Shaniqua was both my L&D doula and postpartum doula for my first born. I was ridiculously anxious about all things childbirth and newborn care, and Shaniqua was my number 1 support. She is a baby whisperer and absolutely loves her job. It is rare to find people that are so good at what they do. I recommend her to every one I know. If you are lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with Shaniqua, don't hesitate to book her!!

Yes, I was actually named after Storm from X Men, so standing up for what is right is in my DNA. My love for women’s health started at just 7 years old when I experienced my older sister give birth. Now at 23, I’m experiencing the journey firsthand as a first time mom. Conceiving naturally while navigating PCOS has been an absolute miracle, and it completely solidified my awe and respect for what our bodies can do. That personal experience shapes exactly how I show up as a birthworker. My approach centers on a holistic, body led style, leaning heavily into somatic movement and herbal wisdom (combined with evidence-based practices), to help you intuitively flow through labor. Just like my namesake, political advocacy is a massive part of who I am. When I'm not supporting births, I’m fighting for women and PCOS awareness, leading educational discussions, and speaking out against political injustice. I’m a member of the Atlanta Peach Book Club where we strengthen community through education! My downtime is filled with creative outlets and animal companionship. You can usually find me painting or relaxing at home with my pets. I have three cats and a dog who keep life cozy! I offer both in person and virtual care, always rooted in an open, judgment free space. Your background, values, and choices guide everything we do, and I would love to walk beside you through this massive life transition.

I cannot thank her enough for the incredible support she provided during my birth at Northside Hospital! Since I hired her quite late in my pregnancy around 37 or 38 weeks, we only had time for one long virtual prenatal visit, but she completely stepped up. Within just a few days, she supplied me with so many helpful handouts and information, including great resources for postpartum planning. I was really struggling to afford a doula since it isn't covered by my insurance, and the fact that she provided her care for free was a massive blessing.She was always personally available whenever I needed her by text or call. She answered all of my questions and was completely honest if there was something she didn't know, which I really appreciated. What I loved most was how comfortable I felt with her. We are close in age and knew each other previously, so there was absolutely zero judgment. She phrased medical things in a way that was so easy to understand.She was also incredibly thoughtful and culturally responsive; when I explained that I have trauma from past OBGYN experiences and felt uncomfortable with certain language, she immediately adjusted her wording to make me feel safe. We even hit a few hiccups with the medical staff during my time at the hospital, and she was right there by my side helping me through every single one of them. She is building a wonderful practice, and her dedication and honesty make her an absolutely great birthworker. She was perfect for me!

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.

The doula training and mentorship I received were thorough and empowering, equipping me with the skills necessary to support other mothers effectively.

— Mariana V., review of Storm Savage July 2026

Storm is absolutely amazing, and I honestly can’t recommend her enough! We worked together both in person and virtually, and she went totally above and beyond to make sure I felt supported, informed, and genuinely cared for. During our prenatal sessions, she helped me prepare so much for life after birth. I learned all about the benefits of belly binding, tips to increase my milk supply, and she completely eased my mind by letting me know it's totally normal for newborns not to drink a ton on day one.What I loved most about Storm was just how compassionate and attentive she is. She took the time to really get to know me, respect my background, and honor all my values and choices. Plus, she doesn't work with a backup team, so she was always personally available whenever I needed her. Her calming presence and encouragement were exactly what I needed during such a huge transition. Honestly, she was just perfect.

— Jessica G., review of Storm Savage July 2026

Storm provided exceptional, deeply personal care during my pregnancy and postpartum journey. We completed five prenatal visits total (four virtual and one in-person), and she operated independently without a backup team. Storm was incredibly available, always answering my calls no matter the time. She gave me thorough postpartum planning information that left me feeling fully satisfied and well-prepared for my next child. While I didn't have specific cultural requests, she provided highly responsive care by successfully helping me navigate and overcome my fear of hospitals.What I loved most about working with Storm is how personable and informative she is. Instead of just throwing raw numbers and evidence at me, she explained everything in a way that felt truly connected. She is a wonderful doula who needs no improvements, and I have already hired her again for my current twin pregnancy!
