Working with Melisa Urena was truly a blessing. From the beginning, she made me feel safe, informed, and supported throughout my entire journey. She’s not just a great doula—she’s someone who truly cares.

Melisa always made sure I had everything I needed. She shared helpful resources and class recommendations, which really helped me understand each stage of pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. She was very attentive, always checking in and making sure I felt prepared and heard.

Every time I had questions or doubts, she explained things clearly and with so much patience. Her calm and caring presence made a big difference, especially during the moments when I felt unsure or overwhelmed.Just knowing she was there for me—emotionally, physically, and with so much knowledge—helped me stay grounded and feel strong. I’m so grateful she was part of this experience. It was a true gift to have her by my side.
