Nadja Gonzales, BS, CLC, Certified Full Spectrum Doula, Certified Hospital- Trained Doula
Nadja built Melancentric with one goal in mind: make doula support accessible, professional, and sustainable for the women who need it most.
With five years of birth work experience, hospital-based training, and certification as a full-spectrum doula and lactation counselor, Nadja saw the same story repeat — too many women birthing without enough support. Especially in Medi-Cal settings. Especially in hospitals. Especially when it mattered most.
Now, through Melancentric, she’s training doulas, creating clinical pathways, and building a system where no woman is left to figure it out alone.

Doulas are holistic healthcare providers who do not offer medical care or provide medical advice. Instead, we offer informed, evidence-based services and support. While doulas play a vital role in providing emotional, physical, social, cultural, and informational support, they do not substitute for medical professionals. Melancentric Doulas collaborate with medical care providers and other healthcare providers to enhance the overall well-being of individuals and families during pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum.

“My Husband and I struggled with conceiving before he was deployed, and I was determined to optimize my health and fertility. Nadja ws an incredible source of support and knowledge, answering every question I had with expertise and understanding. My periods were irregular, and I was clueless about how to navigate it all, but Nadja patiently explained everything. She accommodated my military schedule and the challenges of dealing with unresponsive doctors. Thanks to her guidance and empowering me to understand my body, my husband and I were overjoyed to conceive within the first week of reuniting. I am now 9 weeks pregnant, and everything looks prefect! Thank you, Nadja for everything!"

"Nadja has taken the time to help me understand my cycle. We've explored different period tracking apps and found the best one for me. Nadja has educated me on ovulation and supported me in tracking it using various methods. She helps me determine the right time for ovulation prediction tests. Understanding the days past ovulation was challenging, but Nadja broke it down for me, making it easier to grasp. We also explored natural options, like herbs for conceiving. After a few years of trying, Nadja's guidance contributed to my journey to motherhood.Description goes here."

"Melancentric, Where do I begin? The services were incredible from the home visits to Nadja being available 24/7 to answer my calls. I was given a list that helped me prepare for my baby prior to giving birth. I had an unexpected and emergency doctors visit and Nadja was there every step of the way. Nadja, made sure that I had the support and knowledge of what was going on. She made me feel comfortable and made sure that my nurses took care of me while I was being seen throughout my high risk pregnancy. Even though I was considered to be high risk, my doula never made me feel like my pregnancy was any different. She reassured me daily that my baby was going to come out safely and healthy. Little things such as washing my dishes, massaging my back, going for walks were things I did not know doulas did. If I ever get pregnant again I will definitely come back to Melancentric and their services. "

“As a father, Melancentric was an immense blessing for me, my wife, and our newborn son. Nadja played a pivotal role in ensuring a smooth experience for us. She expertly guided us in finding an exceptional doctor and a suitable labor and delivery department at various local hospitals, assisting us with a comprehensive birthing plan. Nadja's attentive care extended beyond my wife's physical health including essential support. When an emergency cesarean birth was necessary, Nadja traveled all the way to Los Angeles to support my wife with lactation guidance and establishing a feeding schedule. She also offered postpartum. The support we received from Melancentric significantly bolstered our family unit and equipped me, as a father, to effectively support my wife as a mother and collectively care for our precious baby. Thank you Melancentric!"

“Nadja was amazing! Having her as my doula made me feel genuinely care for, not just a mere number in the system. She exuded kindness, patience, and unwavering support throughout my journey. Not only did she provide exceptional care, but she also advocated for me when I needed to use my voice. I wholeheartedly recommend her to everyone because she's truly incredible!"

"I can't express enough how grateful I am to have had Nadja as my doula during the birth of my fourth child. Labor isn't easy, especially when you've been through it before. But having Nadja there was like having a guiding light in the darkness. Her continuous support was exactly what I needed. She helped me through the tough moments, encouraged me when I felt like giving up, and celebrated with me when my baby finally arrived. With Nadja by my side, I felt like I could conquer anything. What made it even more incredible was that I didn't have an epidural, and Nadja's presence and support made all the difference. I highly recommend her doula services to anyone looking for a supportive and empowering birthing experience."
