Testimonial for Melanie Conn (MM, CPD, PD)
I knew within the first 5 minutes of talking with Melanie in our initial interview that I wanted her to be our doula. As a first time mom, there were so many unfamiliar feelings of pregnancy happening in my body and uncertainty about labor and delivery swirling through my mind. In just our first meeting, after listening to Melanie’s own story and having conversation sparked by her set of intentional, value-driven questions for my me and my husband, she started to feel like a familiar friend and was already beginning to make me feel empowered and validated amidst the uncertainty. Over the next 6 months, Melanie was a constant resource of emotional and educational support. When I reached my due date and started experiencing some produrmal labor signs, her support heightened. On one particularly tough morning when I was struggling mentally, she offered to come over to our house to get eyes on me and talk through all I was feeling and thinking. She sat with me, listened, and asked questions that made me remember my power and voice in a time when I felt confused and out of control. My son was born 5 days later, 3 days shy of a 42 week induction. My labor was intense and fast, but Melanie was calm and steady. Melanie is goofy, honest, compassionate, competent, and the best advocate I could have asked for. She's also now a forever friend. She made us feel comfortable and supported from day one. I cannot imagine the journey without Melanie, and am so thankful I don’t have to.
