Hi. My name is Melissa Rocca, and I’m here to be your dedicated BirthBabe.

As a native of the Pacific Northwest and a mama of two, I understand on a personal level the beautiful chaos, the deep joy, and the honest exhaustion of growing a family here. My own journey through motherhood fuels my commitment to you.

My passion centers entirely on that powerful, brief window of time between getting pregnant and your little one’s first birthday. These days have a beautiful way of feeling both like the shortest and the longest of your life—moments full of exhilarating joy, quiet trepidation, profound excitement, grief and all the deep emotions that come with transition.

This journey changes you, your family, and your child forever. As your experienced "big sister," I'm here to ensure you feel supported, seen, and strong through every step of this incredible transformation.

The Dual Support You Deserve

I offer you two essential layers of care, seamlessly woven together to protect your physical and emotional space while preserving your memories:

1. Your Doula & Guide: I'm there to help you make truly personal choices and to smoothly navigate the emotional landscape of pregnancy, birth, and the tender early days postpartum. I act as your calm, professional advocate—a steady presence to help you slow down, process your options, and find the clarity to trust your instincts.

2. Your Photographer & Storyteller: I document the magic so you can stay fully present in the moment. I capture the anticipation of pregnancy, the powerful excitement of meeting your baby for the very first time, and those exquisite details when your baby is the smallest they will ever be. These photographs are your family's history, preserved with artistry and intention.

Let me be the consistent, caring presence that helps you embrace this transition—physically supported, emotionally held, and beautifully documented.
