Description
Melissa Orebaugh Doula
Hi, I’m Melissa Orebaugh, a certified doula, student midwife, and mother of five. My passion for birth grew from my own experiences. After giving birth with and without meaningful support, I saw firsthand the difference a calm, encouraging presence can make. Through those experiences, I felt God calling me to walk alongside other families during one of life’s most important moments. I’ve attended approximately 15 births as both a doula and student midwife. As your doula, my role is to provide continuous emotional, physical, and informational support while honoring your birth preferences and helping your partner feel confident and involved. I strive to create a peaceful environment where you feel safe, heard, and encouraged. I am CPR, NRP, and doula certified and am currently pursuing certification as a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) through the PEP process. It would be an honor to support you as you welcome your little one into the world.
