Testimonial for Melissa Tuton, CD, BRM Certified Birth Pro
?Choosing Melissa Tuton as our doula was the single most important and impactful decision we made for the birth of our son. Our journey started with a plan for an out-of-hospital birth at a midwife delivery center. When unexpected complications arose, forcing a complete change of plans, Melissa was our anchor in the storm. She seamlessly guided us to the best doctors and hospitals, leveraging her established relationships to ensure we were in the most capable hands.
?What followed was an incredibly strenuous 72-hour labor, and for every single one of those hours, Melissa did not leave our side. Her presence was a constant source of strength. At critical moments when we were exhausted and faced with difficult decisions, she provided calm, clear-eyed support, helping us navigate our options without ever wavering. She was continuously and proactively suggesting movements and positions tailored to our baby's station and my wife's dilation, always striving to help labor progress.
?Her expertise was immediately obvious when we arrived at the hospital. She walked into the labor and delivery room with a quiet confidence, knew where everything was, and advocated for our needs, even adjusting the bed for my wife’s comfort.
?I say this with absolute sincerity: I truly believe that both my wife and our son are alive and healthy today because of Melissa’s guidance and her unwavering, steadfast support through that entire 72-hour marathon. She is more than a doula; she is a guardian, an advocate, and a pillar of strength. We wholeheartedly recommend Melissa Tuton.
