melanie bingham - Birth & Postpartum Doula

About melanie

I am a certified birth and postpartum doula, lactation educator and infant sleep educator. My commitment as a doula is to ensure you have the birth you envision. It is important that you are comfortable and confident in your choice of doula. Confidence as a birthing mother will be created with education and knowledge. Fear and uncertainty can appear; knowledge and confidence are the perfect tools to address this. Whether your path includes meditation, medication or both, you can count on the birth to be what you design for you and your child’s birthing experience. My studies include prenatal yoga, breath work, pre/postnatal nutrition, hypnobirthing, lactation, and infant sleep, so if you see support enhancing your early motherhood experience, I can see you through.

Melanie was my postpartum doula for both my kids. She helped me for nearly 3 months overnight with my second. Her knowledge, warm approach and responsiveness and caring nature is unmatched. I would recommend her!

Melanie was instrumental in supporting our family when we brought home our newborn twins! She provided night time support during the first six weeks postpartum. I was initially nervous about having a new person in our home during this intimate and vulnerable time, but Melanie stepped into her role with such ease and gentleness. Her support and expertise allowed me to have rest at night and and also help facilitate a very difficult attempt at triple feeding our twins. Her support was also invaluable in helping my husband with baby care and tasks at night. We will forever be grateful to Melanie for her care. I cannot recommend her enough!
