By promoting education and personalized support throughout pregnancy, childbirth and early parenthood, we’re empowering new parents to make the best decisions for the health and happiness of their growing household.

Rather than accepting a broken birthcare system, where impersonal office visits and medical interventions take priority over education and individualized care, we’re flipping the script. We believe that one-on-one support and informed decision-making can turn the fear and anxiety associated with birth into pure joy and excitement.  The way it should be. 

At Meela, we’re here to support our pros and empower parents as they embark on their journey into parenthood.

### 2/5 — Profile issues

*2026-03-28, version 5.4.2*

As some other reviews mentioned, there’s SO MANY profile issues and they still haven’t fixed them. I started on Meela as a doula and have received clients from the app in the past as well. I’ve also received many emails about parents seeking doulas near me. However, upon logging in recently, I noticed my profile was no longer a professional account and it reflected me as a parent. Not only that but my name, email, and phone numbers were changed to random letters and numbers and I could not get it fixed. When I emailed support about my issues I was originally blown off, then I got annoying about it. I reached back out today (almost a month later than my original inquiry) to check back in and they tried to gaslight me into thinking I signed up for a parent account, and then told me they have “no way” to convert my account to a professional account… which is odd considering it was a professional account to begin with. We chalked it up to being a glitch but at the end of it all, my profile needed completely deleted and I had to make a new professional account. Then after they deleted my account and notified me, they made sure they said, “we deleted the parent account you created, here’s how to create a pro account” as if I had ever made my profile a parent profile to begin with. Customer service seems pretty professional but IT needs A LOT of work. It’s not fair to any pros to have to go through this headache and then be gaslit.

### 4/5 — MUCH BETTER support than in the past

*2026-01-02, version 5.4.2*

I have used Meela for a while and i wanted to leave a review to show some support for the better support they’ve put in place. In the past it was quite bad but i recently had an issue and they were super fast to respond and helpful. Im glad they have invested in support.

Overall its such a great tool for doulas and parents alike. Im rooting for their success

### 4/5 — Good tool if you stick with it but needs work

*2026-01-01, version 5.4.2*

I am a doula and at first I wasn’t getting much business through it but I stayed on for a while, converted to a free account, and then recently converted back to a paid account. Now, I am regularly find a few clients through Meela. I think they fixed a number of issues. I get the sense that they should charge more to offer better service rather than charge so little it makes them slow to improve features. It’s such a perfect concept and it works but it could be so much better. I’m gonnna stick with it because the ROI for me is still very good all things considered.

### 4/5 — Not popular enough

*2025-11-25, version 5.4.2*

Could be good. Not much action in my area yet

### 1/5 — Can’t remove

*2025-11-24*

I can’t remove or downgrade to free. Its glitching. It won’t let me edit or remove card. I’m going to have to report a fraudulent charge.

### 1/5 — Dysfunctional app

*2025-01-13*

I have attempted to set up my basic profile for the past 3 months and had no success. This app will only allow me to add a photo and my name but will not allow me to add my email or contact therefore I’m unable to save my information. The app crashes when attempting to access my profile. I’m not satisfied at all.

### 5/5 — A Godsend for Remote Areas‌    ​ ‍

*2024-02-15*

Living in a remote area, I worried about finding doula support. Meela was a godsend; connecting me with a doula willing to travel and offer virtual consultations. Her presence made all the difference in my birth experience.  ‍‍

### 1/5 — No way to create an account

*2024-02-02, version 5.1.1*

I paid my subscription and it still said I couldn’t create my profile. It keeps giving me errors and won’t let me log in. They say you get 24/7 support and I’ve been trying to get ahold of someone for the last 3 days. Otherwise, I think the app is a great idea and am looking forward to connecting w the birthing community.

Update: they FINALLY responded to me after 7 MONTHS of charging me for two accounts. They said they would refund me the day I put a stop payment on my second account. And then I go to log into my active account and all of my info as well as conversations with clients have been deleted. This is going from 2 to 1 stars. 

This would be an incredible app w upgraded management and support.

### 1/5 — Horrible app and customer setvice

*2023-11-12, version 5.1.1*

The app and website takes forever to load. They are also constantly erroring out. They never respond to your emails. Once you pay for the subscription, they will never refund you even the app is useless. Worst company ever! They just want your money.

### 1/5 — Can’t renew subscription

*2023-11-04, version 5.1.1*

I need to update my payment method, I’ve sent a bunch of emails, messaged them on IG and no response….it’s so very unprofessional and frustrating.
Fix this and respond to your emails.
Bad customer service!!!
