I can’t recommend Milla and Melinda enough! My husband was skeptical about hiring a doula, but after the birth he was the first to say how grateful he was they were there for us and that the investment was so worth it. Their package is outstanding compared to others.
Milla was with us for delivery and she was such a calming, supportive presence. She reminded me of my birth plan when I needed it, worked beautifully with the hospital staff, held me through contractions, cheered me on when I felt like giving up, and set boundaries with family when I asked. She just knew what I needed and I felt safe with her.
Melinda was equally fantastic. I felt deeply seen by her. She helped me with my anxiety before labor and in postpartum, gave me practical tools (the ice exercise was a game changer), and walked through our house helping us set up baby stations + shared so many helpful tips.
Some additional highlights:
- Their website has the best list of questions to ask when interviewing doulas.
- The prep class with Milla was both super helpful and honestly fun. I truly believe the exercises she taught me made a huge difference in my labor.
- Melinda dropping everything to come help us on day 3 postpartum when we texted her in frenzy.
Hiring them was hands-down the best decision we made. I’m so happy with how my labor went, and I honestly credit that to this amazing doula team. Overall, the biggest impact they made on me was that they believed in me, and that gave me so much strength. For a first-time mom with higher levels of anxiety, that kind of support was priceless. I honestly wish they could be my team of support forever in motherhood—that’s how much I loved them and how much I trust them. And even now, I still bug them from time to time and they always quickly help me out with resources. I am so fortunate to have found them.
