Support
Care that adapts to your family — never a fixed programme, always what you actually need that day.
About
Hi, I'm Mel.
I'm a postpartum doula with a background in maternal and child healthcare, and I'm passionate about supporting families through one of life's biggest transitions.
For more than eight years, I've worked alongside healthcare professionals around the world, creating educational programmes that help improve care for parents and babies. Today, I combine that professional experience with compassionate, practical support for families during the postpartum period.
Becoming a mother in 2025 gave me an even deeper appreciation for how transformative those early weeks can be. While every family's journey is unique, every parent deserves to feel supported, heard, and cared for as they find their own rhythm.
My Philosophy
What guides my care
Empathy
No judgement, no comparison. Your feelings about this season are welcome here, all of them.
Confidence
My aim is to work myself out of a job — leaving you trusting your own instincts as a parent.
Qualifications
Training & experience
Maternal & Child Healthcare
For more than eight years, I have worked within the maternal and child healthcare sector, collaborating with international healthcare associations to develop educational programmes for healthcare professionals around the world. This experience has given me a strong understanding of evidence-based care, collaboration, and supporting those who care for families.
Postpartum Doula Training
In 2023, I expanded my professional journey by training as a postpartum doula. My training focused on postpartum recovery, newborn care, infant feeding, emotional wellbeing, and practical family support during the fourth trimester.
Personal Experience
Becoming a mother in 2025 deepened my understanding of the postpartum journey in ways only lived experience can. It strengthened my belief that every family deserves compassionate, practical and non-judgemental support during this important transition.
International Perspective
Having lived in Austria, Canada, Sweden and Portugal, I understand both the excitement and challenges of building a life away from home. This experience allows me to particularly support international and expat families as they navigate parenthood while settling into a new country.
