Heather Harper Palmer, FCP

Along with Sita, Heather is the co-owner of Mellow Moms. After more than 10 years working with expectant and new mothers, she is excited to realize a vision for cohesive, comprehensive support for women at all stages of their reproductive lives. She hopes that all moms served by Mellow Moms will feel comfortable and confident about their changing roles as women and mothers. As a FertilityCare Practitioner, Heather seeks to teach women to appreciate the intricacy of their reproductive cycle and to understand how it is affected by their overall health. It is her goal that every woman value her fertility and be empowered to protect and improve it. As a doula, Heather weaves traditional training with years of experience into a mantle of care, compassion, and protection for every birth. Heather feels that the doula’s most important goal is to advocate for the wishes of the expectant parents, ensuring that their wishes and values be honored first.
