About Melancentric

Lived It. Loved It. Now We Lead It.

My Story

I’m the oldest daughter of twelve children, and my journey into birth work began long before I ever called myself a doula. From an early age, I had the privilege of supporting my mother through several pregnancies and births—watching firsthand what it means to be cared for, respected, and truly seen during those moments.

Those experiences shaped me. They taught me that birth is not just a medical event—it’s a life-changing transition that deserves compassion, knowledge, and advocacy.

From Family Support to Community Care

I went on to become a community-based doula, supporting women in my community to have safe, healthy hospital births backed by evidence-based care. I’ve stood beside families through pregnancy, labor, postpartum recovery, and loss—always centering their choices and voices.

A Mother–Daughter Team

Today, my work has come full circle. My mother, a dedicated nurse, now works alongside me at Melancentric. Together, we combine her medical expertise with my doula experience to provide wraparound care for every client we serve.

We know that birth doesn’t happen in isolation—it happens in the context of family, history, and community. That’s why our care is trauma-informed, culturally aware, and always flexible to meet your needs.
