I truly had the BEST experience I could have ever hoped for with Melissa. From the very beginning, she brought a calming presence that grounded me through every stage of pregnancy and labor. My experience would not have been the same without her - she really was everything I needed and so much more. Melissa's guidance and reassurance were invaluable and I am endlessly grateful for her. She made herself available to me every step of the way (even for those 2am texts) and put all of my worries at ease. On the night my labor began, Melissa was there to guide me and led me to the birth we talked about from day 1 and the birth experience I truly didn't think would be possible. With her guidance, I was able to labor at home and get to the hospital just in time to hold my baby girl in my arms an hour and a half later. I seriously could not imagine my experience without Melissa by my side.
If you are even thinking about using Melissa through your own journey, do not hesitate. She is truly exceptional at what she does and I can't thank Melissa enough for the support she provided to my husband and I during a time that can feel overwhelming and unknown.
