Ayurvedic Doula & Transformational Life Coach,

Melissa Mello

Welcome to the Village Rose!

I am thrilled to share with you the incredible mothering wisdom and practices from the Ayurvedic tradition. As well as tools and skills for transformational conscious living and relationships.

I experienced firsthand, the healing, balancing, and empowering effects of Ayurvedic care during my first child’s birth and our first 3 months of life together. After running into a lot of health challenges for myself and baby early on postpartum, I started incorporating the Ayurvedic practices that I was learning in my training and not only found immediate relief, but also felt more vibrant, energized, beautiful, and grounded. Now I am deeply inspired to work with new mamas and their families today. As time went on, a new challenge arose, how to navigate relationships with family members so that I could feel supported and nourished. I decided to embark on a year-long training in Principles and Practices for Transformative Coaching so that I could enrich my communication and relationship skills and support my mothering journey. Now I infuse the lessons and skills I have learned into my doula offerings in order to support mothers on the critical level of relationship building. I am excited to share these enriching offerings with my community here in the heart of the Berkshires.
