As a first-time mom, I hadn’t originally planned to work with a doula, but Melissa came so highly recommended by a close friend that I decided to meet with her — and I’m endlessly grateful that I did. Her guidance, education, and steady support became one of the most valuable parts of my entire pregnancy and birth experience.
Before working with Melissa, I never believed an unmedicated birth was something I could achieve. She changed that for me. Through her preparation, encouragement, and partnership, I was able to have the unmedicated birth of my dreams. While the experience was undeniably challenging, it was also remarkably smooth, and I credit so much of my healthy recovery and my happy baby to Melissa’s presence and expertise. I truly couldn’t have done it without her.
With no family nearby, her support meant even more. I always looked forward to her postpartum visits — she helped me with everything from breastfeeding to figuring out baby carriers, and she did it all with such patience and care. Melissa has become part of our new little family, and we will always be grateful for the role she played in bringing our baby into the world.
