Kiwi Bird Doula

Hi, I'm Melissa Yates, the Kiwi Bird Doula.

I am a certified Birth Doula, professionally trained postpartum doula, and graduate of the InJoy Birth Doula Mentorship Program (7 month program). I am also a Birth Assistat (assistant to the midwife) at a local birth center. This extensive training has equipped me to support families in all areas related to pregnancy and birth...healthy pregnancy, labor & birth preparation and in-person support, Spinning Babies, postpartum planning (my favorite!), breastfeeding/bottle feeding, Postpartum Mood & Anxiety Disorders, family adjustment, and much more.
