Client Testimonials for Megan Maxwell
Leighann Bode
Megan was absolutely wonderful! When I had to be induced unexpectedly 3 weeks before my due date, my scheduled doula was not available. When Megan arrived, she immediately made me feel comfortable and was full of positive energy She was incredibly helpful to my husband and gave him great ideas as he helped support me during labor. As my labor progressed, there were many decisions that had to be made quickly and Megan helped my husband and I think through everything logically. Towards the end, when I thought I couldn't manage without an epidural, Megan was right by my side, encouraging me through the pain and holding my hand. I honestly feel that I could not have done this without her!!! I have told all my pregnant friends about her and highly recommend her. Her passion, sweet personality, and hands-on approach make her an amazing doula!
