Pillars Of Little Flower Birth Services
Servant-Hearted Stewardship
Just as I enjoy baking for friends and family to show my love, I bring that same spirit of 'practical service' into your home. Whether it’s preparing a nourishing meal during your 6-week postpartum period or ensuring your environment is peaceful, I serve you with the joy of a neighbor and the skill of a professional
Evidence-Based Empowerment
Peace of mind comes from knowing the why behind the what. I provide the latest physiological birth research and data-driven education. By stripping away the "what-ifs" and replacing them with evidence, I help you and your partner navigate the medical landscape with confidence. You aren't just a patient; you are the lead decision-maker of your birth team.
Radical Compassion
Spending time with my daughter reminds me daily that every child is a gift and every mother’s journey is unique. This personal perspective fuels my commitment to stay with you long after the birth, helping you navigate your own new rhythm of motherhood with the patience and compassion you deserve.
Servant-Hearted Stewardship
Partner-Led Advocacy
I don’t replace the partner; I empower them. Through my signature Daddy Class, I give partners the practical tools, physical techniques, and advocacy scripts they need to be your primary support. We work together to ensure your partner feels like a hero and you feel like you are in the safest hands possible.

When I’m Not busy Serving others ….
You can find me right here in the DFW metroplex, likely enjoying the quiet moments of life that remind us of God's grace. I am a firm believer in the power of community, the beauty of a slow morning, and the incredible strength found in every mother I meet.
Ready to start your journey?
I’d love to hear your story and see if our hearts align for your upcoming birth.
Rooted in Faith. Grounded in Evidence. Dedicated to You.
A Note from Melanie
"When I’m not in a birth room or teaching a workshop, you can usually find me embracing the 'slow' side of life right here in the DFW metroplex. Whether I’m crafting something new, baking a fresh batch of treats, or simply soaking up every moment with my daughter, I find that these quiet joys keep my heart grounded.
My love for a handmade life flows directly into my birth work. Just as a recipe requires patience or a craft requires a steady hand, I believe birth and motherhood require a gentle, intentional presence. Being a mother myself has been my greatest teacher in empathy—I know the weight of the responsibility you carry, and it’s why I’m so passionate about serving you.
“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
— Isaiah 41:10
You’re Never Alone on This Journey
Motherhood doesn’t follow a schedule—and neither does my support. I’m here to walk with you through pregnancy, labor, and the fourth trimester with compassion and prayer.
