Testimonial for Melissa Reyes
I had a wonderful experience with Melissa as my doula. She is very welcoming and has calming energy. I am introverted and slow to warm up and I felt almost immediately comfortable with her. She is knowledgeable of the birthing process and subdued my fears and anxiety about labor. She taught me i have the right to advocate for myself and she helped build my confidence to do so. I was able to text/email her with questions (mostly about herbs in pregnancy) and get responses usually within hours. She included my partner at every step which helped me feel like I wasn't alone.
We incorporated traditional Latin American practices in the preparation and postpartum period. This piece was very important to me as a Mexican-American woman. I really felt held in the postpartum practices I experienced. She shared pictures of the placenta preparation, which I loved. It felt like a friend was supporting us through the whole process.
I also participated in Melissa and kaiayo's childbirth education class. I highly recommend this as well.
