Hi! I’m Melinda.


I am a CAPPA trained Postpartum Doula and Lactation Educator. I offer evidence based care, holistic guidance and mindfulness rooted support for your fourth trimester – for families in Colorado and beyond. I believe in the power of research, the wisdom of your intuition, and the healing that happens when families feel supported. My passion for the fourth trimester is rooted in the belief that postpartum deserves more than quick fixes or surface-level advice — it deserves care, connection, and a space to actually grow into parenthood.

As a mom of two, I know how wild, beautiful and transformative this journey into parenthood gets. I understand the swirl of emotions and energy that early motherhood brings. I embrace the connection and chaos that unfolds as your family grows. I am passionate about making space for rest, recovery and real support.

I support families with evidence-based breastfeeding guidance, newborn care, and mindful postpartum support, blending practical skills with a calming, grounded presence. My goal is simple: to help you feel centered, confident, and cared for as you find your rhythm with your new baby.

If you’re looking for compassionate guidance, breastfeeding education, or someone who truly gets it…
I’d love to support you in your postpartum experience.

Welcome to Parent Vortex — a space for mindful, supported parenting.

Your partner in Positive Parenting


Parent Vortex was created at the intersection of evidence and intuition — a place where breastfeeding support, postpartum recovery, and mindful grounding work together instead of separately.
Because postpartum isn’t just physical. It’s emotional, energetic, and deeply personal.
It deserves support that sees all of you — your body, your baby, and your inner world — not just the feeding plan or the to-do list.

I’m here to support you through pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond with compassionate breastfeeding education, newborn care guidance, and tools for parenting with presence. Whether you’re preparing for your first baby or navigating life with little ones, I help you blend practical skills with mindful connection, so you can feel confident, supported, and deeply connected to what matters most.
