Welcome

Hi there! I’m Anjelica Malone, a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM), UC San Diego trained Lactation Consultant, and Clinical Herbalist. I have the unique privilege of working in the beautiful northwest coast of Puerto Rico. I’m also a wife, mother, and military veteran. I grew up living across the U.S. and around the world—officially making me a former Third Culture Kid (TCK), an experience that I hold very dear.

I have worked in healthcare and perinatal wellness for a combined 18 years. I earned my Master of Science in Midwifery from Bastyr University, with a specialization in Botanical Medicine for Midwifery Care. I’m also a college professor, teaching the next generation of midwifery professionals obstetric emergency skills.

I’m passionate about providing women with holistic care with a focus on nutrition, stress reduction, and movement. I have over 9 years of professional lactation experience and provide lactation consultations, pregnancy support, comprehensive postpartum care (my absolute passion!), and virtual perinatal wellness sessions to help women as they aim to navigate life and motherhood with intention. If you are interested in having me support you in your pregnancy or parenting journey, please reach out here

My Passions

I absolutely love to travel and meet new people. In addition to supporting mamas as they journey through pregnancy, I’m a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu athlete, published author, and I have the privilege of speaking and consulting about pregnancy, birth, lactation, and parenting for innovative organizations and brands.

Cross-cultural Life

Throughout my life I’ve had the great privilege of calling many amazing places like New Orleans, Philadelphia, Japan, Italy, Miami, New York City, Puerto Rico, and Guam all home. I grew up traveling in a military family, later joined the U.S. Coast Guard at the age of 17, and served as a Health Services Technician (corpsman) and EMT for 6 years. I later volunteered as a mentor to pregnant refugee and socially-isolated women having a high-risk pregnancy or first birth here in the U.S. as a part of The Priscilla Project in Buffalo, New York. That was over 11 years ago! If you’d like to hear me share more about my third culture upbringing and my path to midwifery, take a listen to my guest spot on The Global Chatter podcast, Episode “The Calling” or check it out on YouTube here.

The two overseas births of my daughters showed me just how important perinatal support is and how rich and everlasting the care of a midwife can be, particularly for those living away from their family or living a third culture life. This is what has led me back to this luscious island and to opening Sol Midwifery and Wellness. I am now sinking my roots in deep here on our little island and extending my branches to meet and embrace women, here in Puerto Rico and around the world as they navigate the beautiful, yet sometimes overwhelming childbearing year(s).

Intentional Living

I thrive on times of bonding with women and have acquired a unique perspective on family, friendship, and life as a whole through the profound relationships I’ve developed during my travels.  I’ve learned to value living slow and finding my identity as a woman and mother beyond what’s currently trending, in order to fully blossom into the being I was created to be. This philosophy is a core part of how I support women and families, especially as they aim to exit the rat-race and embrace life on their own terms. I’ve found that many families who are also living cross-culturally or raising Third Culture Kids resonate with these ideas. My husband Brett and I have two Little Women who we aim to nurture a sense of global citizenship within through travel, cultural immersion, and bilingualism.

You can find me most days soaking up sunshine and vitamin SEA with my husband and girls, sipping on something rich in adaptogens, or working on my finquita full of tropical fruit trees.

I truly believe there is a common thread that runs through ALL women and my desire is to help build connection and support for us no matter where in the world we are.
