Knowing others is wisdom knowing yourself is enlightenment -Lao Tzu
Hello, allow me to introduce myself.
My Story
I am Melissa, I’m a certified doula and childbirth educator through AMANI Birth. Long before I earned my certification, I felt a deep passion for supporting others through the transformative journey into motherhood. I currently live in Dallas, TX, where I’ve been working as a doula for the past two years.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Community Health and am currently pursuing a second Bachelor’s in Midwifery at the Midwives College of Utah. As a first-generation college student and fluent Spanish speaker, I’m passionate about making birth education and support more accessible and inclusive—especially for underprivileged and historically underserved communities.
Before becoming a doula, I worked as a photographer—now, I bring that creative eye into the birth space by offering birth photography for my clients.
My dream is to combine my background in community health with midwifery to educate and empower parents. I aim to help families have safer, more informed, and more fulfilling birth experiences—ones that challenge the myths surrounding homebirth and restore confidence and autonomy to birthing people. Above all, I’m committed to creating access to compassionate, culturally sensitive care for those who need it most.
