I'm Melinda Barrett-Richard, and I help new mothers to transition to motherhood with calmness and confidence by guiding them to embrace their inner instinctive power!


With a Master's degree in Midwifery and over 20 years of experience, I am deeply passionate about supporting new mothers in overcoming anxiety and embracing their innate capabilities.

As a mother of three, I understand the joys and challenges of motherhood and focus on empowering women to enjoy their journey with confidence.

My mission is to guide and empower new mothers to embrace their inner instinctive power and learn to trust their own intuition.

Together, we will navigate the beautiful journey from pregnancy to the baby's arrival, fostering a deep connection between mother and baby, and creating a foundation of love and confidence that will last a lifetime.

Through compassionate guidance, I am dedicated to fostering positive, nurturing experiences for both mothers and their newborns.
