Melissa Fernandez, Founder/Owner of The APPD


Hi! Thank you for your interest in joining our team.

I'm a retired Cirque du Soleil Acrobat, NCAA Hall of Fame Athlete & Certified Postpartum Doula, & Level 2 Expansion Principle Practitioner for energy healing.

I know a teeny bit about working with a Successful Team to produce high-level results. 😉 And now, I’m building an exclusive Team for serving families in ATL.

Using my decades plus expertise in recovering, I educate and support families to heal faster after labor, birth, & during postpartum.

Not only do I guide families to optimal wellness, I also mentor doulas on business, burn out, class creation, & making more money.

I’m also the owner of The Doula Business Hub which is home to my signature membership, The Wellness & Business Collective.


My mission is to Revolutionize Postpartum in America.
