Hi, I’m Melissa!

Before becoming the owner of The APPD Agency, I was a NCAA gymnast (if we want to get real accurate, I’m a Hall of Fame Athlete) and touring Cirque du Soleil Acrobat. After the births of my first two kids, I experienced the intensities of postpartum anxiety and feelings of loneliness that can frequent many mothers in America.

It was then that I saw the missing gaps. What we urgently need: Radical Reformation of Postpartum Care in America.

I decided to become a Postpartum Doula, retired from acrobatics, had another baby with a completely different postpartum experience, and then became an Energy Practitioner w/ Expansion Principle healing modality (similar to Reiki).

Which brings me here: the owner of The APPD on a big mission to Revolutionize Postpartum. As seasoned mom of three, I know the realities of life with a newborn. My team and I are here to make it easier for you by bringing the Village to you. We would love to make your postpartum the most magical, rested experience possible.

Get to know me

Let me share a little secret

Being supported in early postpartum sets the tone for your entire motherhood journey. Being a well-resourced, regulated, nourished, and recovered mom after labor and birth is one of the best things you can give your newborn.

No matter if it’s your first or your third, having space to heal and learn your new baby can drastically improve how you experience early postpartum because….. There’s a difference in ‘just getting by’ and leaning IN to being held
