Welcome, Parent!
I'm so glad you're here, because that could only mean one thing: You're bringing a new soul into the world and you want to feel totally confident and prepared for pregnancy, childbirth, and parenthood. Well, you're in the right place!
Hi, I’m Melynda Smith, Certified Prenatal and Perinatal Educator, Certified Holistic Birth Doula & Maternal Health Advocate.
"Peace on Earth Begins With Birth" is not some lame platitude to me; but a sincere philosophy- if we want to heal this planet, I firmly believe that the quickest way to start is at the beginning of life... with how humans are gestated and born. Think of how quickly the quality of life on this planet would improve if we took steps to ensure that our children were conceived, born and raised in conscious, loving ways. The fact is, this first year of life (including pregnancy/birth) lays the foundation for the child’s primal health and profoundly shapes who she is; mind, body and spirit. This is not only the philosophy of the elders, shamans and wise women of old, but of the world's leading experts in neuroscience and human development. A strong and healthy family unit is what lies at the foundation of a healthy, happy society and world. This is who I am and what I'm about.
Viva la familia!
"Melynda Smith is THE PERSON to sit with when cultivating your birth vision and diving into the world of primal, instinctual, honored birth. When I was pregnant with my second son, I took Melynda’s childbirth classes (this was my first natural birth), and received an endless amount of encouragement and a wellspring of knowledge that cannot be replaced by conventional childbirth education. Her heart is dedicated to walking families through their birth experience with love and courage."
