Meet Melissa
About Me
I am Melissa Acuna, a certified full-spectrum doula, herbalist, and holistic birth worker offering grounded, compassionate care through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
My work is rooted in herbal medicine, flower essences, and holistic family care, with a focus on pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum, and emotional well-being. I create custom herbal formulations and gentle supportive remedies for mothers, guided by both training and hands-on experience. My approach is practical, intuitive, and centered on meeting women with care that feels steady, thoughtful, and respectful.
This calling has been part of me for as long as I can remember — drawn to babies, nurturing, plants, and the art of creating healing remedies. Over time, that pull naturally grew into birth work and postpartum support, where much of my experience lies. I feel especially honored to walk beside mothers during the tender and transformative early weeks after birth.
As a doula, I offer care that is calm, respectful, and deeply supportive — blending emotional presence, intuitive guidance, herbal wisdom, and steady reassurance. I support mothers seeking a natural, undisturbed birth experience whenever circumstances allow, while honoring each family’s unique needs, choices, and unfolding journey.
My intention is to help mothers feel safe, heard, supported, and deeply held, so they can move through birth and motherhood with trust in their bodies and confidence in their inner wisdom.
Birth is a sacred and transformative threshold. I hold this season with deep reverence, honoring each family’s rhythm, values, and path.
If you feel drawn to care that is gentle, grounded, and heart-centered, I would love to connect.
