Melissa Urena

My approach is nurturing, proactive, respectful, baby-led care. Naturally a nurturer by nature, my goal is to provide Mothers with real, natural solutions and support during a time where they have to be trusting of themselves, their team and their Babies. I help families create realistic goals that are intentional, educating them to know what to expect so that their journey can be seamless to some degree, allowing them to have more enjoyable experiences with their Babies. Through proactive guidance, parents are adept at intervening before Baby’s limits are reached so that their needs are consistently always met. I work as a team player and keep open communication in order to build trusting and lasting relationships, where all caretakers are continuously aware of Baby and Mother’s overall well-being. I am adaptable to every family’s dynamic, resourceful, committed, professional and always flexible. I strive to go above and beyond expectations. Working as a space-holder for every Mother, I strive to leave families feeling confident, empowered and well-equipped. As a Certified Lactation Counselor and exclusively breastfeeding Mama I am also able to support breastfeeding parents, but support all feeding preferences. My belief is that Babies can thrive optimally by receiving holistic, quality care along with proven scientific methods and my hope is to assist in setting a foundation for children who can be the highest expression of ground, stable, nourished people to create a healthier society.
