Testimonial for Melissa Tuton, CD, BRM Certified Birth Pro

When we first started preparing for our daughter’s birth, I wasn’t completely sure if we needed a doula. It felt like a “nice to have,” not necessarily essential. But the day she was born changed that perspective entirely — and showed us just how invaluable Melly truly is.

Our birth didn’t go as we had hoped. It was emotional, intense, and at times traumatic. Throughout it all, Melly was a steady, grounding presence. She advocated for us when we felt overwhelmed, helped us understand what was happening in real time, and created a sense of calm in a moment that could have easily felt frightening and lonely. Knowing she was there — fully in our corner — made an enormous difference in how we experienced that day.

What meant just as much was that her support didn’t end at delivery. In the weeks after bringing our daughter home, Melly checked in on us several times, offering practical guidance, reassurance, and simply a caring presence as we adjusted to becoming a family of three. Those visits felt like a lifeline during such a tender, vulnerable season.

Looking back, Melly wasn’t just a doula for us — she became part of our village. We feel incredibly grateful to have had her by our side and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family hoping for compassionate, knowledgeable, and deeply human support through pregnancy, birth, and beyond.
