hi, i'm Melinda Williams!
I am a DONA trained Birth Doula working towards my certification.
I migrated to the Treasure Valley in 2021 from my hometown in Southcentral Alaska. Outside of birth work, I love cooking, adventuring, neighborhood walks with my cats, and having dinner with friends. After being a nanny for several years, I grew passionate about serving and supporting families. This passion led me to my vocation of being a Birth Doula!
Embracing The Transformative Nature of Birth
As a Birth Doula, I’m devoted to guiding pregnant people and their families through the profound experience of pregnancy and birth.Through physical, informational, and emotional support, I help to create a nurturing space where you and your family have the freedom to make informed decisions-without judgement. I believe that you deserve to feel empowered and uplifted throughout this sacred journey into parenthood. My goal is to ease your anxiety by providing you with the resources that you need to feel confident in yourself, your body, and your decisions. You’re facing big changes, and perhaps big feelings, let’s navigate them together. We were never meant to do this alone.
From crafting a birth plan, offering validation and reassurance, or evidence-based information, I’m here to help. Let’s chat!
Melinda’s passion for supporting others is the foundation of her work as a Doula. She believes that everybody deserves inclusive and informed doula care. It is her goal to serve a diverse set of people including surrogates, the LGBTQ+ community, and single birthing parents. Devoted to uplifting each person through compassionate support, evidence based education, and advocacy, her goal is that you feel empowered through the transformative experience of birth.
