Testimonial for Felicia Melton
Felicia was the friend I never knew I needed at a time when I felt so isolated. I began working with her by the time my baby was 3 months. I lived away from my family and friends and found myself alone with my son when my husband returned to work. Needless to say, every day felt unpredictable and I was running on fumes. Although I had ultimately chosen to formula feed my son long before I met Felicia, there was still a lot I needed to process about that decision. My pregnancy and birth story was traumatic and I found myself lost in my new identity as a mother. Felicia would spend a few times a week taking on the night shift so I could get much needed rest. But little did I know, a lot of the "rest" I needed was through our late night conversations. As we got to know one another, we became fast friends and I truly consider her one of the reasons I could find my confidence in motherhood. The few months that we worked together had a profound and lasting impact on my family. She respected any specific way my husband wanted her to care for my son. She taught us so much and helped us work through our son's first bout of illness. She was a partner, friend and a mentor to us in such a vulnerable time in our lives. We sadly no longer live in Texas. But we've always joked that if we ever had another child that we'd fly her out for that second pregnancy/birth. She's a true gem and was a light in a time in my life where things got very dark. If you're on the fence about needing support and think you can push through, just know you're never alone and that there is help out there. I never knew what a doula was and now I preach it's advantages and praises to all my friends!
