Hi, I’m Melissa. I’m a Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula, Advanced VBAC Doula, Spinning Babies® trained birth professional, and Certified Lactation Counselor (ALPP). I am currently pursuing my IBCLC certification while gaining clinical experience at Anna Jaques and Exeter Hospitals. I have the privilege of supporting families through pregnancy, birth, feeding, and the postpartum transition alongside the wonderful team at Saltwater Doulas. My approach is calm, compassionate, and rooted in evidence-based care, while always honoring your unique goals, values, and intuition as a parent. I believe every family deserves to feel supported, informed, and deeply cared for during this life-changing season. Whether you are preparing for birth, working through feeding challenges, recovering postpartum, or adjusting to life with a new baby, I strive to create a safe space where you feel heard, encouraged, and empowered every step of the way. Before becoming a doula, I spent nearly 20 years as a dental hygienist, where I was known for helping people feel comfortable, cared for, and at ease. That same gentle presence and commitment to personalized support now guide my work with growing families. My care is inclusive, nonjudgmental, and accessible. I proudly support all birthing parents and families, including those seeking affordable care, because everyone deserves compassionate support during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. My hope is that when we work together, you'll feel like you have both a knowledgeable professional and a trusted friend by your side—someone who can offer guidance, reassurance, and unwavering support as you navigate this new chapter. When I'm not supporting families, you'll find me spending time outdoors, making memories with my husband and children, and enjoying the simple moments that keep me grounded and grateful. I would be honored to be part of your journey.

For my first pregnancy, I wanted a doula to help guide me through the experience and help me with understanding my options during labor. Saltwater Doulas are loved by Exeter Hospital, which made us even more excited to work with them. Melissa's style was exactly what I needed during my first pregnancy. She is so informative and easy to communicate with. I didn't know what to ask about sometimes, so her approach of offering lots of information and suggestions helped me to learn and feel confident in the process. Her Spinning Babies education helped me to prepare my body for labor and made it as smooth as possible. When I had to get induced, Melissa helped me to understand the process and pain management options. She provided hands on support as I went into active labor, and she was supportive of my decisions throughout. Thank you so much, Melissa!

We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Jenn’s support during the first weeks with our son. Those early newborn days can be both joyful and overwhelming, and her calm, knowledgeable presence made all the difference for our family. From the very beginning, Jenn brought a sense of reassurance and confidence into our home. She was attentive, nurturing, and truly in tune with our son’s needs, handling everything from feedings and diaper changes to soothing him back to sleep with such ease and care. Just as importantly, she took the time to support us as new parents—answering questions, offering gentle guidance, and helping us establish routines that set a strong foundation. We were able to get much-needed rest, knowing our son was in the best possible hands. Her professionalism, reliability, and genuine warmth gave us complete peace of mind each night. We are so grateful for Jenn’s support in those early weeks and would absolutely recommend her to any family looking for compassionate, experienced overnight care.
