Testimonial for Melanie Guymon CFSD
As first time parents navigating the complexities of natural birth, my husband and I are incredibly grateful that Melanie was a part of our birth experience. When I first spoke with Melanie I knew that she was the right choice for us. Her energy was calm and she brought the right balance to the table: evidence-based information and an understanding of the profound, transformative power of birth. Her values of inclusion for all people were also important to us. Melanie’s prenatal visit, where she answered our questions and walked us through what to expect, helped to calm our nerves. During early labor, her presence and knowledge of Spinning Babies techniques helped me push through. She came over, guided me through a handful of exercises, and a few hours later it was time for us to head to the hospital. In our birthing suite, she was on standby to do whatever I needed. She massaged my sore body, helped make sure my husband was taking care of himself, and advocated for my right to give consent. After our baby was born she helped us get our first latch for breastfeeding. I will forever cherish the photographs she took, particularly a video of my husband holding his child for the first time. Melanie’s postpartum support, as a first time parent with no family in the area, has been crucial. I texted her an SOS message one morning and she came for a visit later that afternoon to guide us through all the things we were struggling with. Even though her service for us is technically complete, I have reached out to her several times for help, and she has responded with a genuine attitude of care and support. All around, Melanie brought stability to an otherwise hectic time for our family. We would absolutely recommend her doula services for anyone looking for a natural birth experience.
