I'm Demetrice
and I'm SUPER excited you're here!
I am a Nurse Practitioner and Certified Nurse Midwife. Melanated Midwife was birthed out of my desire to help other women who have experienced negative birth outcomes and to fight back against maternal and infant mortality in Black and Brown communities. As a professional Black woman, I have experienced miscarriage, preterm birth, and infant loss. In addition, I have been discriminated against in the healthcare system. I discovered through my journey, there are some specific steps to take to go from being hopeless to becoming empowered. My #SUPER Power Hour framework has helped me, my girlfriends, and clients to take ownership of our health, wellness, and pregnancy journey. I’ll teach you how to you move past your fears that are robbing you of a joyful and relaxed pregnancy. Let’s do the HEART work together!
