Client Testimonials for Melissa George
Mindi Emanuel
Having Melissa be a part of my birth was the best decision that I made! She listened to my wants and needs and provided in a manner in which was caring and relaxing. My husband was put off of the idea of having a doula at first, thinking that I didn't feel that he was adequate enough to help me with labor. She made him feel like a very integral part by giving him instructions of what to do and how to do it so he could activily participate. He doesn't feel that way now! Although no labor is easy, she really helped me feel like this was the easiest thing I had ever done. The support she gave before my present arrived really helped me to be confident that having babies is what women are meant to do! And, even though this is my second baby, I still had tons of questions. Her post-partum support really helped me get through some of those sleepless nights!
