Melissa Acuna is a full-spectrum doula certified by SBD-Still Birthday® and postpartum-certified by Birthing Supernaturally®. Specializing in herbalism, Melissa provides natural support for pregnancy, birth, and postpartum wellness. Her practice focuses on empowering mothers to connect deeply with the wisdom within their bodies and embrace the sacred, transformative journey of birth.

Melissa’s lifelong love for nurturing began in childhood, when she spent hours in nurseries, eagerly holding and caring for babies. Her gentle nature quickly became clear—Melissa loved babies, and they loved her right back. As she grew older, she volunteered with community programs, teaching art and dance to children and fostering meaningful relationships with families. These early experiences shaped her heartfelt dedication to serving mothers and families.

In addition to her doula care, Melissa offers handcrafted products designed to nourish and support mothers, including custom herbal teas, organic grass-fed beef gelatin fruit gummies, and soothing tallow belly balms. These creations reflect her holistic approach to care, ensuring mothers feel supported at every stage of their journey.

Melissa’s practice includes emotional and physical guidance, tailored birth planning, and attentive postpartum care. Whether supporting a home birth, aiding in a birth center experience, or guiding mothers through the postpartum transition, Melissa strives to create calm and empowering environments where mothers and babies can thrive.

Believing that birth is sacred and deeply spiritual, Melissa is committed to walking alongside mothers with compassion and care, helping them feel confident and prepared as they welcome their babies into the world.

My services are centered around nurturing and supporting mothers and families through the perinatal journey, from pregnancy to postpartum. I approach care holistically, blending my expertise as a full-spectrum doula, postpartum-certified professional, and my specialization in herbalism to create a personalized and compassionate experience for every family I serve.

During pregnancy, I focus on empowering mothers to connect deeply with their bodies and the sacred nature of birth. My services include emotional and physical guidance, birth planning, and herbal support tailored to pregnancy. I primarily focus on home births, helping families create calm, empowering environments to welcome their babies, while also supporting those birthing in other settings, such as birth centers.

In the postpartum phase, I provide comprehensive care to ensure a smooth transition into parenthood. This includes practical support, emotional guidance, and resources to aid physical recovery and bonding. My specialization in herbalism allows me to offer natural remedies to support postpartum wellness, such as lactation teas, soothing balms, and nourishing options for recovery.

Through every stage, I am here to support families with compassion, care, and respect, ensuring they feel seen, heard, and empowered in their unique journeys.
