Melissa is the angel everyone needs at their birth--both the quiet presence you want during labor and the confident, reassuring and steady voice you need during transition and pushing, when the going gets tough and you need to be reminded your body and baby know what they are doing and to trust them. After two magical births with Melissa, I knew immediately after finding out we were expecting our third she was to be my first call... that I wanted her there again. Everyone says it's "about the small things" and with Melissa--this is what you get! You not only gain guidance and support as you prep for labor and delivery, and someone there to ask the questions or for sweet reassurance when the anxious thoughts might come, you gain someone who thinks to jump right into rub your back as the waves intensify without being asked, who thinks to puts peppermint oil in the toilet to help with that first pee after birth, who is intentional in her choice of only the best ingredients for postpartum healing in her sitz baths, and who treats every little baby born as the precious little soul that they are... and this is just part of the wonderful package of the sweet soul that Melissa is. I wouldn't have wanted to do my births without her! ??
