Helping You Become the Best Version of Yourself

I’m Melinda Rhoads, a certified nurse-midwife, nurse practitioner, entrepreneur, and founder of Rho Wellness. I have worked in women’s health for more than 15 years after obtaining my Bachelors of Science in Nursing from Shenandoah University and my Masters of Science in Nursing from Frontier University in Hyden, KY. Following the completion of my master’s degree, I became licensed as a certified nurse-midwife and nurse practitioner.

My passion for helping women enrich their lives grew after the birth of my third child. I was told by many healthcare providers that my lack of energy, anxiety, lack of patience, brain fog, skin changes, and food sensitivities were normal for a ‘’busy mom.’’ I was so frustrated with the lack of guidance that I received that I decided to find answers for myself.

Read on to learn more about the answers I found and what they mean for you…

"Melinda has helped me so much with many women’s health issues, from gestational diabetes, hormonal imbalances, thyroid issues, my breast health, and many more. I love how she takes the time with me and really cares about getting to the root of the problem. She has also been great with genetic testing for me having a family history of breast cancer and has gotten myself on a great preventative program."

"Melinda is so sweet and caring and spends all the time you need to answer your questions. I saw her when I was pregnant with my first baby and I always left feeling confident! She also led the birthing class I took and learned SO much."

-MARIA B.

"During some frustrating times with one of our young daughters, Melinda took the time to sit down, listen, and care. Melinda's approach wasn't to immediately prescribe medications and scare her with procedures. The approach was slow, methodical, and thoughtful. Melinda included my daughter and her feelings in the entire process. This approach was integral in making the necessary changes in our child's diet and lifestyle. The incredible attention to detail and love that Melinda has for all of her patients is so apparent in all that she does!"

-JESSICA A.

"Melinda helped me through one of the toughest times as a mother and one of the happiest. She is knowledgeable, caring, empathetic and all the words to describe the best midwife ever. My daughters will for sure be seeing her when the day comes. In the mean time, I'm thrilled to be able to continue my care with her."

-ROBIN D.

"Melinda is truly one of the best there is for GYN care and I would recommend her to anyone. She is very thorough and truly cares about her patients. She takes the time to talk with you about any concerns or issues you may have and is very knowledgeable about women's health, staying on top of the latest research. Melinda has a wonderful, caring bedside manner. I have the utmost respect and trust for her as a Nurse Practitioner/CNM."
