Melissa L. in PA

York County Birth

Practice overview

My calling to this life began after a very difficult and traumatic birth of my first baby. I knew it was wrong and I knew if I had someone there for me, it would have been okay. I knew I was being called to be that someone for others. I focus on relaxation techniques as well as focusing on the birthing partner to help me best support my clients. My trainings are in fertility, pregnancy, birth, bereavement, rebozo, relaxation, placenta, and so many more. I truly believe every birth, regardless of where or how, can be beautiful. I am a full spectrum birthkeeper and member of the LGBTQ community. I support any and all families, POC, IVF, lgbtq, stillbirth, abortion, etc

Care philosophy

My philosophy is that pregnancy, labor, and birth are as much mental as they are physical. No two experiences will ever be the same, but my ability to adapt to each family’s needs is what my families appreciate most.

Pricing packages

Prenatal and Birth

$ 700

Prenatal education, advice, resources. On call from 38 weeks. I come to you in labor when it’s time and help work with your body and baby. I could also meet at your birthing place if preferred. I stay with my families for about 2 hours after delivery to make sure you’re comfortable and bonding well with your new life. I can also help with initiating breastfeeding. Lastly, I visit your home a few times to make sure things are going well and talk about your birth or help out as needed.
