We cannot say enough wonderful things about Mel. She was our postpartum doula for both of our daughters, and having her support during those early weeks was truly one of the best decisions we made as new parents — twice over. From day one, Mel brought an incredible combination of professionalism, calm confidence, and genuine compassion. She has a rare ability to walk into a home and immediately make everything feel more manageable. Whether it was helping with newborn care, offering practical tips, supporting feeding routines, or simply giving us the reassurance we needed during sleep-deprived moments, Mel was always steady, thoughtful, and incredibly knowledgeable. Thank you, Mel, for taking such amazing care of our family. 💛

Can’t rave enough about our love for Mel. We first met during early postpartum overnights, and she was exactly what our family needed — amazing with our newborn and a great friend to us as we were navigating a challenging time. Mel is knowledgeable, caring, and kind, and we’re so grateful for her support, even now with a 14 month old. Highly recommend working with Mel!

Mel is extremely gentle and non judgmental. Mel is all about mental health and rest. Their reiki session changed my life for the better. I left feeling grounded, confident and peaceful. Their experience caring for newborns and birthing people really showed in the way they affirmed and really listened to me.

Mel is an amazing Postpartum Doula. can’t say enough wonderful things about Mel Graham and the care she provides as a postpartum doula. From the moment she entered our home, Mel brought a grounding presence that blended calm, wisdom, and genuine compassion. She anticipated needs before we could even voice them — from emotional support during those tender early days to practical help with baby care, rest, and recovery. Mel’s approach is deeply intuitive and rooted in respect for the whole family’s well-being. She created a space that felt safe, nurturing, and empowering, allowing me to truly rest and bond with my baby. Her knowledge of postpartum recovery, infant feeding, and emotional transitions is extensive, yet she shares it with such humility and grace. What stood out most was how Mel saw me — not just as a new parent, but as a whole person in a profound time of change. Her encouragement and care made all the difference in my healing journey. If you are looking for a postpartum doula who leads with heart, skill, and soulful presence, I wholeheartedly recommend Mel Graham. She is truly a blessing during the sacred postpartum period.
