Welcome

I am Melissa Ross of Nurturing Soul Birth Services. I am a certified doula (both birth and postpartum) as well as a placenta encapsulator based out of the East Bay, CA. I serve the entire San Francisco Bay Area.
Aside from my role as a mother, my role as a doula is one of my most rewarding accomplishments. Birth work is my passion.
As a doula I aim to empower, encourage, and support new forming families. I am so lucky to be able to hold space during such a sacred and transformational time in the lives of my clients.
I was certified in 2015 through Cornerstone Doula Trainings. I have recieved specialized training in breastfeeding education and assisting home births. I have also received an extensive apprenticeship where I learned how to provide placenta services. Both my California Food Handlers Card as well as my Bloodborne Pathogens and Infection Control for Placenta Encapsulators certificate are up to date.
Please feel free to contact me with any further question or to schedule an interview.
