Every woman deserves a chance to envision her birth and to experience this sacred passage in a way that brings healing to herself, her lineage and the earth.

Melissa has spent the last ten years traveling, studying, teaching yoga and returning to her innate intuition. She gave birth in North Europe with a midwife and left the experience with a deep knowing that there must be a more sacred, ceremonial way to bring life into the world and transition into mothering.

Three years later she did just that and birthed her baby into her home with just her partner present next to a bathtub of water filled with rose petals she gathered from her mothers garden. A ceremony. A pleasure. A return to herself and deeply healing for her sexuality.

What followed was an intimate 40 days rest that, coupled with her transformational birth, impacted her and her families life forever. After this experience, Melissa knew her calling was to work with women and families in an effort to re-culture the norms around conception, pregnancy, and postpartum in the West.
