Medina was the doula for my daughter and her husband, and from the very beginning, she brought warmth, grace, and calm to the entire journey. Her emotional and physical support extended not just to them, but to me as well — an anxious first-time grandmother. With her gentle guidance, I learned how beautiful and peaceful the birthing experience could be. She created an atmosphere that felt sacred and loving — dim lights, soft candle glow, birth affirmations playing in the background, and a mesmerizing galaxy ceiling overhead. Throughout it all, Medina offered steady reassurance, soothing back massages, and heartfelt encouragement. Her presence turned what could have been a stressful experience into one filled with serenity, strength, and love.

I first met Medina divinely when I booked her for a prenatal massage around 5 months into my pregnancy. At the time, I had hopes of finding a doula but hadn’t been proactive. After my massage appointment and our conversation about her doula services, I knew immediately that I wanted her to be part of my birthing experience. From start to finish, Medina provided a warm, informative, and supportive presence. She made me feel at ease with all the knowledge she shared and truly helped me feel comfortable throughout the birth process. What stood out most was her holistic, all-inclusive approach—covering pre-care, post-care, and everything in between, including the massages that helped so much along the way. Working with Medina was an absolute pleasure. She not only supported me but also received so many compliments from the hospital staff for her professionalism and kind, attentive care. I am so grateful for the experience and highly recommend her to any expectant mother looking for both guidance and genuine compassion on their birthing journey.

I cannot express my gratitude to Medina enough for being an amazing Doula and support system during my pregnancy, birth and postpartum journey! At My Meaningful Health, Medina provided me with insightful information, practices and resources for me to reach my VBAC goal. She gave me a strong sense of confidence and security during my challenging pregnancy. I had a C-section 17 months ago and my OB team doubted that I would be able to successfully have a VBAC this pregnancy. I’m so thankful that I worked closely with Medina to prepare my mind, body and womb to deliver my baby this time around. She was very professional, empathetic and knowledgeable during the whole process. Her expertise and passion for birth work is evident! I was able to successfully have a VBAC after working with My Meaningful Health! I recommend Medina as a Doula for any expectant mom that wants a beautiful birth experience!!

Medina is such a wonderful and peaceful presence during my birth. She was always in contact with me. Sent me weekly birth education and knew exactly what to do to help my body birth my baby. Her positive and caring energy is contagious and made me feel safe and relax during my birth. She also did massage techniques that helped with pain management.
