About

 My name is MELISSA WIEDEL,

I am The Bon Bébé Doula with comprehensive training in child development and family systems. I have worked with families in a variety of settings for over 25-years to include: home, child care centers, medical clinics, classrooms & churches; in public, private, religious, & military sectors.

I have a strong passion for supporting families and caring for children. I believe in the importance for all members of a family to feel truly supported during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, and it’s an honor to hold that space for others.

 

With a background in child development and early intervention, I bring both knowledge and heart to my work. As a postpartum doula, trained with DONA, as well as a longtime nanny and child development specialist, my foremost priorities lie in helping my clients to feel safe, heard, and cared for. My approach is warm and grounded, offering encouragement, compassion, gentle guidance, and a steady presence so you never feel alone on your journey.

 

Aside from child care and postpartum work...I am a lover of interior design, a master of baking, and my two fur babies, Ellie and Trina!
