More About Me

Confinement lady in London. Registered with DOULA OF UK & IRELAND, FEDANT dan insured £4,000,000... Confinement lady in London. Registered with DOULA OF UK & IRELAND, FEDANT dan insured £4,000,000 with BALEN. Familiar with UK requirements of first aid & emergency response.

I have attended over 100+ postnatal services across the UK & Europe with average 21 days per client. Traditional massage, proper food ingredients, strict confinement, and belly binding are the key to reshaping and tightening the body within 6 weeks (44 days) after birth.

Since 2021, I have supported Asian women who living abroad without physical family support, I was there to create the best memory for them in birth & postnatal.

The challenges of transitioning into parenthood, difficulties with lactation, postpartum insecurity, and a lack of physical support are just a few dilemmas that many Asian women face when living abroad and planning a family.

I could travel across the world & couldn’t wait to be apart of your motherhood journey. I look forward to meeting you soon!

**SOME EXAMPLE OF REVIEW FROM PREVIOUS CLIENTS**

"I did my postpartum treatment with Melissa and it genuinely changed the game for me, I had bought the massage/hotstone/bellybinding therapy! I kid you not! After the first 2 sessions - week 1 (you can do upto 3 sessions in one week) my swelling went down significantly!!! By week 3 stomach was back to normal. I have a little bulge because I had a c section but compared to where I started to where I am now is world’s apart! 10/10 and IT ONLY TOOK 4 WEEKS!!! If you know anyone in the London area that is expecting or due soon and would be interested in getting their body back and obviously heal after birth (for both natural and c section) I would highly recommend this traditional and holistic method of healing in the first 40 days/6 weeks (after birth) Melissa is also a fantastic cook, focussing on postpartum recovery meals using all natural ingredients that are specific to healing the body internally!! This is the correct and best investment for your internal and external healing mamas!"

“I had my second baby & I seen the differences. Previous delivery, I faced challenges such as poor nutrition & inadequate recovery. However, with Melissa, the experience was incredible. She managed multiple tasks efficiently within 5 hours. The massages & hot stone were incredible, I lost 8 kg in 30 days.She patiently entertain my older son even I recognised it out of her scope. Aware that I miss hometown, she made festival foods I request, Laksa Johor & Rendang Tok. When everything well organise, the whole family got opportunity to dinner together, every day. It was bittersweet to realize that when she is leaving, we would be back to our normal lives. However, the moments shared during this period are some of the most cherished in my parenting journey”
-Ms. X, London on Mar 28, 2025

“My wife took postnatal services last year in August 2024, we were introduced to them by our Chinese friend here in Switzerland. Melissa was very helpful. She did a great job assisting my wife for 14 days. Melissa not only helped my wife but also took care of our baby. Melissa also responsive to whatever situation of my wife during recovery. We miss her cooking, and my wife was very satisfied with her traditional massage, belly binding and hot stone treatment. The service provided was excellent, and I would highly recommend it to all Asian living abroad in Europe.As new parents, this was a new experience for us, and having no family support here made their assistance even more valuable”
-Zaid, Sharina & Eedruce on Aug 27, 2024

"Melissa attended to me for 30 days, caring for me post-C-section and my baby in Kingswood, London. Melissa was amazing! She took care of my whole family wholeheartedly. She cooked nutritious meals to help me recover faster, handled daily baby care, and allowed my husband to work without worries. She was always thoughtful in preparing my favorite dishes and was able to accommodate our specific food requests. Some more, she really encouraged me to breastfeed as much as possible, by carefully selecting ingredients to ensure they worked as lactation boosters. Her daily massages and hot stone therapy were incredible—so relaxing that they melted away my stress. I even noticed I lost several kilograms within two weeks! The floral bath was something I never expected to have, but it was a wonderful new experience!Her care and dedication truly made this period more enjoyable. I highly recommend Melissa as a postnatal doula to everyone. Thank you, Melissa!"
