Radical Authenticity Support

Healing the wounds that keep you from being yourself.

These conversations support you through the messiness of becoming your truest self. We talk about your present life circumstances or relationships and discern what’s “working” and what’s not. I help you identify what you authentically think, feel, need, and desire, and complete any frozen or interrupted emotional cycles, creating room for you to respond to the present moment rather than reacting and playing out old patterns. These conversations are a process of bringing you fully into the present, rooted in who you are, and self compassion.

Why hire a doula?

Traditionally, doulas support people through transitions of birth and death.

The process of returning to ourselves is another major life transition and shares many of the qualities present in birth or death experiences.

We grieve and let go of who we learned to be to survive and breathe new life into who we are becoming. As we move through this process and make room for our truest selves our relationships, behavior, and perspectives shift dramatically.

Doula’s are trained to provide advice, information, emotional support, and physical comfort during, these kinds of major life changes.

As a doula, I help people create reparative experiences, regulate their nervous system, and offer a safe container to be their messy human selves and practice self-compassion.

Meet your doula…

Linden (they/she)

My people say "I can be myself with you in a way that I can't be anywhere else in my life. It's like you see who I really am underneath all the messiness of my current human experience and you help me see it too. I feel held with love and compassion and free to be exactly who and how I am."

I am 29 years old and I’ve spent the last 6+ years of my life returning to myself. The first 22 years I spent surviving, building my arsenal of inauthenticity and self abandonment in an attempt to feel connection and belonging. By the time I was 23 I was simultaneously in so much pain and so numb that all I wanted was to spontaneously stop existing. I didn’t know it at the time, but this was the beginning, this was my point of surrender that allowed me to begin learning how to LIVE.

Hi, I’m Melinda. I’m an artist, relationship nerd, and recovering codependent. I help people attune to the voice of their inner wisdom and build the muscles of self-connection so that they always have access to their authenticity. I give people a safe space to practice speaking their truth, sharing their insides, and acting on their inner knowing so that they become consistently true to who they are in every moment. I support people to create lives and relationships that not only allow them to be who they are, but celebrate and support them as they courageously transform and become themselves.

“Only to the extent that we expose ourselves over and over to annihilation can that which is indestructible in us be found.”
