Labour of Love Birth Services

    Practice overview

    Hello! I am Melody Brown. I started Labour of Love in order to create and support a holistically positive-support process for those moving toward future birthing, child rearing, and all of the emotional/psychological support frameworks one might need regardless of your birthing outcome. Through my own process of pregnancy, I encountered many painful and powerfully uplifting moments. Through my birthing and postpartum experience… and then the loss of multiple pregnancies, I have been brought full circle with great desire and passion to get involved with birth work.

    Postpartum Support
    $ 1800 /hr
    Customizable package of 60 hours in the first 2-8 weeks after birth that supports a new mama and her newborn baby. Hours can be scheduled to fit your families needs. Whether this is your first baby or your fifth, it is nice to have someone there in those first few weeks/months to lend a helping hand around the house, to hold the baby while you take a shower or nap or to just sit and talk with about your birth experience and how you are feeling after birth. I can help when it seems like you can't keep up with the housework. Things like the dishes and laundry, grocery shopping or even meal prep should be the least of your worries while you are taking care of your newborn.I am trained to notice signs of postpartum depression.
