Testimonial for Melissa Duenas-Witter
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Melissa again for the birth of our second baby, and once again, she exceeded all our expectations. Having her support for this birth reinforced just how invaluable a skilled doula can be, even when you feel like you 'know the drill.'
Melissa provided comprehensive support throughout our prenatal period, labor, and birth. While we hoped for a smooth experience, labor took some unexpected turns, and Melissa was our rock. Her emotional support was immeasurable, not just for me, but for my partner especially too. She advocated for our birth preferences with such grace and confidence, ensuring our voices were heard and respected.
Her knowledge was a constant source of comfort. Melissa has a gift for translating complex medical terminology into easily understandable terms, which was incredibly helpful during crucial moments. She made us feel supported, empowered, calm, and thoroughly informed throughout the entire process.
Melissa’s communication, empathy, and professionalism are truly exceptional. Over the years, she has always taken the time to truly know us and what we wanted, and she listened attentively to our concerns. Her resourcefulness was also remarkable, providing us with helpful information and tools.
We wholeheartedly recommend Melissa to anyone seeking doula support. She is a compassionate and skilled professional who made our two birth experiences as positive and empowering as can be.
Thank you, Melissa, for everything!
