Working with Melissa as a Doula and prenatal yoga coach gave me a sense of control over my body and my pregnancy as well as a sense of well-being knowing that I was setting the groundwork for a healthy baby and a happy delivery- which was later the case! Our partner yoga sessions in our home strengthened my bond with my husband preparing us to become co-caregivers by renewing the foundation of our love for each other through physical and emotional exercises. The worksheets and exercise routines I practiced with Melissa made the movements, sounds and process of giving birth more commonplace so that both myself and my husband felt natural in this new experience and our new roles. We were able to follow our birthing plan to minimize medical interventions and my husband definitely attributes my ability to go through childbirth with strength and calm as he would say, “like a rockstar”, to our working with Melissa. Take control of this beautiful moment in your life and do yourself, your partner and your baby a huge favor by employing Melissa’s services!
