Mel is such a great doula. She was there to support me throughout my pregnancy and was helpful during the delivery process. Even when things changed, and my plans were rearranged, she helped keep me reassured, and never left me and my partner's side. Would definitely recommend if you are planning on getting a doula for your birth.
