13 Moons Midwifery

Melanie Martinez, CPM, LM, offers individualized midwifery care spanning the 13 month childbearing cycle (preconception, prenatal, birth, and 6 weeks pp).

I am Melanie Martinez, a NARM certified midwife, licensed in Wisconsin.
13 Moons Midwifery is an evidence based midwifery practice where I hold space for women to embrace their potential for taking control of their mental, emotional, and physical health. I believe these are quite entwined and equally important. I work with women to develop a birth plan that prioritizes maternal and neonatal safety, while striving to maintain the integrity of their personal birth plan.
13 Moons Midwifery approaches nutrition from a gut health perspective. I understand and council on the importance of the microbiome and how it directly affects you and your baby, as well as future generations. I offer research backed supplements through Thorne and Prothera, such as prenatal vitamins, omega 3 fish oil, magnesium, probiotics, iron and more. In addition to individualized midwifery care, I also offer additional educational opportunities including lifestyle coaching, relationship building, and sexual health empowerment.

♥️ “What if we told women the truth about birth
We’d have to tell them that contractions will probably be more than “surges” or “sensations.”

That they’ll probably rock your f✨cking world and leave you begging for salvation as you clutch the edge of the tub or the hospital linens

That your gentle breathing exercises and your Spotify soundtrack will be left in the dust as you sweat and pant and sway and swear your way through it

That you’ll trip harder than any mushroom you ever did in college and vomit with the same ferocity and travel to places deep within yourself that you didn’t know existed. That you’ll float above your body and simultaneously be trapped in it with an intensity you’ve never tasted

And in that intensity, in the sweating and the swearing and the swaying and the vomiting and the endless hours of contractions crashing down upon you
You’ll find your strength
You’ll find a resilience you’ve never known
You’ll find the power you need for the journey of motherhood ahead

In the messy humanity of it all
You’ll find that you are holy
A portal to the divine
Capable of indescribable miracles
A vessel of sacred life

What if we told women the truth about birth?
We’d have to tell them they are capable of anything
Worthy of being treated like goddesses
Made to walk through the flames
Surf the tidal waves
Dive into the underworld
And come out alive

Not unscathed
Not unchanged
But whole
And healed
And ready to take on the world

If we told women the truth about birth
We’d have to admit that we’ve lied about everything else
And that they are more powerful
More fierce
More capable
More beautiful
Than we’ve ever let on.

If we told the truth about birth?
We’d shatter the world.”
