Find a Fertility Expert Near Me in Poway, CA

Hello, My name is Melanie, and I have been proudly supporting my community as a birth and postpartum doula, as well as a lactation counselor, for over 10 years. As a birth doula, my primary concern is to ensure you are informed of your options at all times and feel safe in your birth space. I enjoy working collaboratively with care teams and focus my efforts on achieving your goals for birth. It’s important to me to get to know you and your partner well, understanding your expectations of birth, each other, and me as your doula. My postpartum practice centers on the care of new mothers through nutrition support, postpartum bodywork (including massage, abdominal binding, and warming practices), lactation and feeding support, newborn education, and practical household assistance, including sibling and partner support. Please reach out for a complimentary consultation. I look forward to connecting with you! Warm regards, Melanie

Hi! My name is Julianna, and I am a birth + postpartum doula and reproductive health educator based in San Diego, California. I am deeply passionate about supporting people through their fertility, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and transition into parenthood with care that is informed, grounded, and non-judgmental. My approach blends evidence-based education with intuitive, hands-on support, honoring both the physiological process of birth and the emotional experience that comes with it. I believe that when parents feel informed, respected, and supported in their choices, birth and postpartum can feel more empowering and less overwhelming. I strive to create a calm, affirming space where clients feel safe to ask questions, explore options, and trust their bodies. In addition to doula care, my background in fertility awareness and reproductive health education shapes how I support clients holistically—from conception and pregnancy through postpartum recovery. In my free time, I love being outdoors, moving my body, and grounding myself in simple routines that nourish both body and mind.
