Melody is incredibly professional and personable. She was a lifesaver when I was struggling with severe breast pain!

Not only did she provide soothing massages and relief, but she also patiently taught me how to properly massage, express, and feed my baby on my own. Even after her visits ended, she continued to be a valuable resource, readily answering any questions I had about milk expression and infant care.

Plus, her fluency in four languages (English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Mandarin) makes her a truly invaluable asset to mothers from diverse backgrounds.

I highly recommend Melody to all new moms – she offers unparalleled support!

Melody has been my guiding light throughout my breastfeeding journey. She was an incredible source of knowledge and encouragement since the early newborn days when I barely made any colostrum to then helping me navigate pumping and building my supply when my milk finally came in. She's helped me work through chapped nipples, nipple shields, and latching difficulties and has been there to celebrate my wins when I finally got the hang of breastfeeding and all that it entails. And when my baby began refusing the bottle, she provided tips and solutions right away! I am so thankful to have had her guidance and wisdom every step of the way!

Melody supported me during my breastfeeding journey. When my baby was having feeding issues, she offered different solutions and checked in on me after to see how I was recovering. She gave me reassurance that things would be ok.  I'm grateful I had her help.

Since the day my baby was born, Melody has accompanied me and taught me throughout this process of motherhood. Everything about lactation, postpartum, complementary feeding and most important selfcare for myself as new mama.
She is super professional in everything she does. If I had another baby, I would hire her service again without hesitation.

Melody is amazing in her ability to be a calming presence when I had issues beginning my breastfeeding journey. She was extremely patient and empathetic in helping me solve issues with engorgement and dealing with feeding struggles. She was able to help me work through my concerns in person, and she is such a great resource. The way she answered my questions with patience put me at ease, reassured me I was on the right track, and removed any anxiety I initially had going into this journey. Melody also followed up with me afterwards and I really felt supported and understood akin to a close friend. When I have questions, she is able to provide detailed responses. For these reasons I highly recommend Melody for anyone seeking postpartum support.

Melody is an exceptional doula. From the second day after my delivery when I began experiencing milk engorgement, she not only provided comprehensive breastfeeding knowledge but also assisted me in milk expression. She has been consistently available to answer all my questions related to breastfeeding and postpartum care. Her dedication, expertise, and guidance have been invaluable during this pivotal phase of my life. I'm truly grateful for her support and would highly recommend her services.

I am very grateful to moledy chen for her help. As a novice parent, there are always various things that I don’t understand, from pregnancy to hospital delivery, to the birth of the baby, breast milk bottle feeding, adding milk powder, and so on. Thanks to her for her spiritual comfort and help, and thanks to the wic women and children's group for their help, so that our small family can grow up slowly.
