Postpartum Newborn Instructor

Veronika Miliner

May 5, 2026 by

Veronika is a pediatric sleep consultant, mom of two, and owner of Whispering Willow Pediatric Sleep Consulting. She supports families with newborn and infant sleep by offering personalized, practical guidance on routines, sleep foundations, and teaching babies to fall asleep independently. Her approach is warm, supportive, and tailored to each family so parents feel confident, reassured, and never alone in the process.

Melinda Montgomery-Jones

May 1, 2026 by

Melinda Montgomery-Jones is a dedicated Postpartum and Sibling Doula with a background in perinatal health. She has been a postpartum doula for over two years. She holds a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. As a graduate student, her background in health disparities pushed her into a passion for maternal and paternal mental health.

It has also enriched her understanding of how support is essential to the family dynamic. As a postpartum doula, she helps support moms and families emotionally and physically by providing education on postpartum care, basic infant care, soothing techniques, and breastfeeding support. Additionally, she provides mental wellness education and assessments for mom and partner, performs light cleaning duties, and helps the family organize to support mom and baby as the family gains greater awareness of their new roles as parents or growing families.

As a sibling doula, her role is to support the family by providing emotional and physical support to older children during a parent’s labor, birth, and immediate postpartum period.  Helping older children understand the birth process, manage emotions, and bond with the new baby are some of the ways she assists families and helps them thrive during a crucial period in their lives. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, listening to jazz music, coloring, and spending time in nature.

My name is Callie Hodge. I’m now a Senior doula working with Momease. I’m a certified doula, completing my certification with CocoLife in March 2023.

I have had the privilege of assisting and attending 30+ births from prenatal to postpartum. My holistic approach to birth support includes not only physical assistance during labor and delivery but also emotional support and guidance throughout the entire journey of motherhood.

My mission is to provide holistic, compassionate care that empowers mothers and families throughout their birthing journey. I am committed to offering a safe, nurturing, and informative environment, ensuring each mother feels supported, informed, and empowered. My multifaceted skills and deep empathy enable me to support individuals and families through diverse and challenging circumstances, embodying a holistic approach to care and well-being.

Additional Certifications and Experience:

Certified Community Health Worker: Dedicated to promoting community health and safety.

Maternal Mental Health Community Health worker: empowering mothers by offering culturally sensitive support and connecting them to mental health services while helping to identify and address postpartum depression and anxiety.

Mental Health First Aid Instructor: Trained to provide initial support in mental health crises.

CPR/AED/First Aid Provider: Equipped to handle emergency health situations.

Birth advocacy and empowerment are my jam. I strive to encourage birthing families to gain practical knowledge and amplify intuitive body knowledge. Doulas’ work is more to me than back rubs and ice chips. It’s about creating a team to increase the likelihood of a beautiful birth memory and a smooth transition into the fourth trimester (postpartum).

I am the mother of seven amazing humans and a Mom-mom to three sweet grandsons.

My journey into birth work was rooted in my unique experiences with my own seven pregnancies, labors, and births. I also attended the births of my closest friends, acting as their “doula” before I knew this was an actual profession.

In 2008 I participated in a Doulas of North America (DONA) doula training. I completed my certification process in 2009 and have attended 82 plus and counting births. I obtained my Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator (LCCE) in 2014 and truly enjoy informing and educating birthing families.

In 2021 I obtained a When Survivors Give Birth workshop facilitator certification. I am launching this one-day workshop in 2025 with Momease. I currently teach Weekend Childbirth, Childbirth 123, Baby care, and Breastfeeding at Momease.

I also teach Childbirth Education and Breastfeeding 101 and offer birth doula services at my local pregnancy center. Serving the underserved is a true passion of mine.

My passion for birth work began early, inspired by my mother, who was a childbirth educator. When my husband and I were expecting our first child in 2002, we prepared with Bradley Method classes. The knowledge and confidence we gained through that experience shaped my desire to help others navigate the transformative transition into parenthood.

In 2011, I became a certified Bradley Method instructor and birth doula, and in 2019, I added postpartum doula certification through DONA International to support families beyond birth. My goal is always to empower parents, helping them build confidence in their choices and their ability to care for their newborn.

As of 2025, I’ve had the privilege of supporting nearly 70 families through labor and/or postpartum care, and teaching well over 100 families in childbirth education classes. In 2024, I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from George Mason University, and I look forward to continuing my work in maternal and infant health as a registered nurse.
