My name is Medina. I have served as a doula, birth assistant, and midwife student in the DMV area. I have experience helping women have a medicated, unmediated, and natural birth. I am also an experienced and qualified prenatal and postpartum massage therapist. If you're interested, I would love to connect over the phone to schedule a zoom call to see how I can help you during your journey.
Medina was amazing help navigating me throughout pregnancy and what to expect as a first time mom! She brought such an uplifting and motivating atmosphere into my delivery room. There is nothing I would change about my labor experience. I highly recommend her services as your doula!

Medina was the doula for my daughter and her husband, and from the very beginning, she brought warmth, grace, and calm to the entire journey. Her emotional and physical support extended not just to them, but to me as well — an anxious first-time grandmother. With her gentle guidance, I learned how beautiful and peaceful the birthing experience could be. She created an atmosphere that felt sacred and loving — dim lights, soft candle glow, birth affirmations playing in the background, and a mesmerizing galaxy ceiling overhead. Throughout it all, Medina offered steady reassurance, soothing back massages, and heartfelt encouragement. Her presence turned what could have been a stressful experience into one filled with serenity, strength, and love.

I first met Medina divinely when I booked her for a prenatal massage around 5 months into my pregnancy. At the time, I had hopes of finding a doula but hadn’t been proactive. After my massage appointment and our conversation about her doula services, I knew immediately that I wanted her to be part of my birthing experience. From start to finish, Medina provided a warm, informative, and supportive presence. She made me feel at ease with all the knowledge she shared and truly helped me feel comfortable throughout the birth process. What stood out most was her holistic, all-inclusive approach—covering pre-care, post-care, and everything in between, including the massages that helped so much along the way. Working with Medina was an absolute pleasure. She not only supported me but also received so many compliments from the hospital staff for her professionalism and kind, attentive care. I am so grateful for the experience and highly recommend her to any expectant mother looking for both guidance and genuine compassion on their birthing journey.

Five stars across the board. Been coming in for the last 2 months to get my prenatal massages, and Medina is just as sweet as pie. I love the atmosphere and the ambiance, very relaxing and soothing. Also Medina takes her time with her clients and gives out very informative information to expecting mothers. Definitely will be coming back in the future.

I cannot express my gratitude to Medina enough for being an amazing Doula and support system during my pregnancy, birth and postpartum journey! At My Meaningful Health, Medina provided me with insightful information, practices and resources for me to reach my VBAC goal. She gave me a strong sense of confidence and security during my challenging pregnancy. I had a C-section 17 months ago and my OB team doubted that I would be able to successfully have a VBAC this pregnancy. I’m so thankful that I worked closely with Medina to prepare my mind, body and womb to deliver my baby this time around. She was very professional, empathetic and knowledgeable during the whole process. Her expertise and passion for birth work is evident! I was able to successfully have a VBAC after working with My Meaningful Health! I recommend Medina as a Doula for any expectant mom that wants a beautiful birth experience!!

I’m 39 weeks pregnant and very hard to please at this point, but my prenatal massage with Medina was absolutely out of this world. From the moment she arrived and set everything up in my home, she brought such a peaceful, grounded presence. It felt like I already knew her — her warmth, calm energy, and professionalism immediately put me at ease. The massage itself was nothing short of magical. Her pressure and pacing were perfect — so intuitive, so effective. I had been dealing with some sciatic pain for a few days, but when I stood up after the session, the pain was completely gone. I also felt noticeably more balanced and aligned on both sides of my body, like she had helped me reset. Medina is truly a miracle worker, not just with her hands, but with her spirit. I felt so deeply nourished, both physically and emotionally. Her care and presence had a huge impact on my mental health as well as my body. I cannot wait to book her again postpartum. If you’re considering a massage with Medina — do it. She’s an absolute gem.

Medina is one of the most knowledgeable and attentive massage therapists, I have ever encountered. She truly understands the body and takes the time to listen carefully to your needs. Medina tailors her massage based on the needs you share and her strong knowledge of the body. I came to see her originally for chronic neck and shoulder pain. As we have had several regular sessions, this pain has decreased and I learned more from her about the muscle groups impacted. Medina is also very kind and you can tell that she cares about helping people feel better. If you are looking for a massage therapist who combines great expertise with a compassionate approach, I highly recommend Medina!

I can't even begin to express how helpful Medina has been for me and my back pain journey. I began seeing Medina at Indigo Physiotherapy before they abruptly closed on their patients and providers with little to no notice (I received an email at 8pm one evening and it was notifying me that the business was closing the next day). I was so grateful that I could continue seeing Medina at My Meaningful Health. Medina went out of her way to accommodate my existing appointments with Indigo. Medina is amazing and has been able to practically eliminate my lower back pain. She is truly talented and such a warm, caring person. I look forward to my monthly sessions with her and honestly cannot imagine where I would be with her help. I cannot recommend Medina enough!

Medina is such a wonderful and peaceful presence during my birth. She was always in contact with me. Sent me weekly birth education and knew exactly what to do to help my body birth my baby. Her positive and caring energy is contagious and made me feel safe and relax during my birth. She also did massage techniques that helped with pain management.
