Testimonial for Melissa F. Haley (they/them)

We LOVED working with Mel for our prenatal and labor experience. With wisdom and compassion, Mel helped put us at ease about all the unknowns before labor— and helped us navigate all the real twists and turns during delivery. At the tail end of our pregnancy we had to suddenly change where we delivered (from a birth center to a hospital), and Mel was incredibly supportive as we navigated that choice. We would have been lost and 10x more anxious without them. I then had a very challenging 40 hour labor ending in a C-Section and Mel was a trusted confidant and coach the entire time. Mel’s presence and skill boosted my inner resilience (and that of my partner), and helped me feel empowered during all the medical choices within my labor. My partner and I are tremendously grateful that we worked with Mel for the life-changing transformation of childbirth. 10/10 would recommend!
