Founder of Jasper Birth & Family Support

Melanie’s work is shaped by both personal and professional experience. Alongside her birth and postpartum training, she brings over 15 years of experience supporting families through emotionally demanding and transitional periods, with a strong focus on communication, emotional regulation, and practical support. ​

​

After becoming a mother herself, Melanie developed a deeper understanding of how vulnerable, overwhelming, and transformative pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood can feel — and how meaningful steady support can be during those transitions.​ 

​

She is currently participating in the Manhattan Birth Doula Mentorship Program and completing certification as an Integrative Feeding & Lactation Specialist.​
