About me

Hello my name is Melanie Powell and I am so excited to serve your family during your child birth and postpartum period. I am passionate about the growth of babies and feel that every family should have support throughout their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period. When I had my daughter I didn't even know what support I would need or how to ask for help. After a traumatic birth filled with interventions and 1 week of labor and an failed breastfeeding journey I tried to resolve so many issues between my husband and I. After 6 weeks constantly being told I was a failure as a mother and being invalidated I was hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital and started on medication and therapy. Based on my experiences I want to educate, empower, and advocate for women and their families through the whole experience. When I am not working I enjoy volunteering at my church, spending time with my daughter, hanging out with friends, cooking, baking, and crafting. I hope to be able to incorporate these skills into my practice. I look forward to meeting you and I hope that I am a good fit for your family.

Service introduction

Birth Doula As a doula it is my goal to make doula care more accessible to families by educating my clients about pregnancy, birth and the transition into parenthood. I do this by advocating for their birth philosophies and beliefs by empowering them to seek help and look after the mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health of their whole family. I am not just there for your birth and then leave you in a lurch but am there to support you throughout your adjustment into parenthood Postpartum Doula Postpartum work is where my heart really is. As a mom when I went through postpartum I didn't realize what I needed or even how to ask for help. This is a challenge that many moms face today. As a doula it is my hope to help women through this time and empower them to develop their intuition and survive the crazy postpartum stage with grace and support. Childbirth Education At Little Flower Birth Services I believe in the importance of education. Through education and knowledge you can learn about your birth preferences and how they greatly impact your parenthood journey. My goal is to provide an evidence based education to my class participants that empowers families to make informed decisions about their pregnancy, birth and postpartum; and the impact those decisions have on their birth and postpartum journey.
