I'm Melissa, I'm a curious adventurer, mother, midwife, and woman. I was born into a Hakka Chinese matriarchal family, my first home was a jungle island in Jamaica, and I have Irish-American heritage. I spent most of my life in a melting pot of Latinx and Caribbean cultures. The rest of it, I spent traveling. One of my biggest fascinations is learning about similarities in the way traditional cultures care for their women. Through looking at different traditions around the globe, we can uncover universal truths to the nature of how we as women move through the cyles in our lives, and the special kind of care we truly need to live to our fullest potential. I've learned so much about the true nature of women and sisterhood through my years spent as a midwife and birth keeper. It gives me so much joy to learn, listen, and share about how special, powerful, and sacred we truly are.
