I cannot say enough wonderful things about Melissa. As a couple who struggled to get pregnant and had several losses, my husband and I were nervous and unsure of what pregnancy and birth would look like for us. Melissa was a constant sense of calm and always made sure to check in on our emotional health. Everyone tells you that nothing can prepare you for childbirth, but we beg to differ. Melissa helped us understand all of our options and what to expect every step of the way. She was objective and factual. She was always available to answer questions, ease anxiety, and give peace of mind. When our birth plan didn't go exactly as planned, and I ended up being induced, Melissa was right by my side to help me along the way. In fact, I remember the moment she showed up at the hospital, I cried because I felt such relief. Her presence and expertise is invaluable. I would highly recommend Melissa to anyone considering hiring a doula.
