Nearly a decade of experience in helping mothers and families.
Welcome to Maylily Birth Support
About Melissa MorrisHi! I am Melissa Morris, a certified childbirth doula and childbirth educator. During my first pregnancy, I went from never wanting to feel labor pain, to studying the Bradley method and embracing natural childbirth. My son and daughter's births were somewhere in the middle. Through these experiences, I found my passion for helping other families have a positive labor and birth experience.
Childbirth is a defining moment for each parent. Every person will take memories, conscious and subconscious, from that experience and I want them to be as positive as possible. My son’s birth went nothing like my birth plan, but because I was well prepared, I was able to adapt and make new plans as the need arose. What could have been a scary, out of control, traumatic birth, has happy memories that helped shape our family. Each woman has their own needs and desires and I believe everyone should have the knowledge and support to make the best decisions for their families.
That is what I offer families. As an educator, I want to give them the information and decision-making tools to plan the birth they envision and adapt to the labor and birth they have. I love when I have the opportunity to take that a step farther and attend a birth as a doula to offer support, comfort, and a calm presence in those sacred moments. Each birth is a unique, once in a lifetime experience. My job and my passion is to make it a positive one for the families I serve.
I received my childbirth doula certification through Childbirth International and my childbirth educator certification through BEST Doula Training. I am located in Kerrville, Texas. I also serve the communities of Fredericksburg, Hunt, Ingram, Comfort, Center Point, and Boerne.
