Client Testimonials for Melanie Gaze

My partner and I had Melanie teach us our Birth & Babies class. We found that she fostered a very inviting and informative learning environment. This allowed us to optimize our learning from Melanie ensuring we were the most prepared for our labour experience. Melanie holds her learning sessions at her house which was a very quiet environment. We had 2 longer sessions which covered all the Birth & Baby material.

We had such a wonderful experience with Melanie we had her provide more doula services upon the arrival of our baby. She was able to provide us with support and good knowledge as we were experiencing our first child. We would suggest Melanie to anyone seeking knowledge, preparation and support for the arrival of their baby!
