Highly recommend Mel! She is incredibly knowledgeable, sweet, and has a wonderfully calming presence. She was so helpful with developing a birth plan, got us through a challenging unmedicated labor, and was also so great about comforting me and helping with those first few moments of breastfeeding right after delivery and in her postpartum check-in. We were impressed with her medical training and expertise and generally felt that we were in great and extremely competent hands! Loved working with her.

Mel is an amazing doula. GOD SENT! The way She was there for me and advocated for me throughout my pregnancy was definitely unmatched. She was very helpful when I was giving birth by guiding my husband through a couple exercises to help make my experience better. Even when things changed, and my birth plan was not prioritized, she made sure she found other solutions for me and kept me calm when I was having any doubt or worries. She has never left me and my husband's side. I will definitely have her as my doula for my second child and I highly recommend her if you are planning on getting a doula. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT

SCAMMER ALERT!!! Melissa never showed up to my birth, did not provide a replacement / back up, and refused to refund me my deposit. On her profile and paperwork she claimed to be educated with / affiliated with DONA so I reached out to them to help mediate if possible. I got an email back from them saying they have no record of her and she is in no way affiliated with them. Please take this profile down as this is false advertisement for a scammer!

Wow! The nerve. You arent even a certified doula. Just a scammer. Who scammed a mom out of her money to not even show up. Then to later find out you ain't even a certified doula. You are a disgusting person.

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.
