Doulas

I bring a lens of embodiment to all of my offerings as a childbirth educator, postpartum Ayurveda doula, community facilitator, and ritualist. It is my belief that birth happens in the body, not the mind and when a newborn baby arrives, as does a newly born parent. Through ritual, yoga, evidenced-based education, art, and community care, my services weave together body, mind, and soul for all birthing parents. Accessibility and inclusivity are at the heart of Embodied Remembrance. My work is trauma-informed, gender affirming, and body positive. All of my services are offered at a sliding scale.

If you're interested in birth doula services, prenatal breastfeeding workshops, or lactation care, you've come to the right place. I have helped over a hundred new parents navigate their breastfeeding challenges and have been teaching group breastfeeding workshops for the last three years. I am thrilled to announce that in the Winter of 2024, I have expanded my services to be a birth doula! I offer prenatal and postpartum support in addition to being with you every step of the way during your labor and birth. Let's connect and explore how I can assist you on this journey!

Whether you are preparing for labor, navigating the fog of postpartum recovery, or managing the complex shifts of perimenopause, you deserve to feel strong, heard, and supported. I’m Melissa Reitman, a Physical Therapist and Woman’s Health and Hormone Specialist with over 30 years of experience helping women reclaim their bodies. In 2021, I founded One on One Wellness in Durango to provide the kind of care I believe in: integrative, personalized, and deeply rooted in the connection between mind, body, and spirit. As a postmenopausal mom of three, I know firsthand that womanhood is a series of profound transitions. My goal is to combine evidence-based clinical expertise with compassionate, holistic healing to help you thrive through every stage. When I’m not in the clinic, you’ll likely find me paddle boarding, hiking the Colorado trails, or recharging with my family and my 4-pound therapy dog, Cholula.
