Testimonial for Melanie Suarez
I had the pleasure of working with Melanie as my doula during my VBAC journey with my second child, and I truly can’t imagine that experience without her. She was highly recommended by my midwife, who described her as exactly the kind of support I would need, someone who could help me get where I needed to be both mentally and physically for a successful VBAC.
Going in, I expected a typical doula experience, but Melanie far exceeded anything I could have imagined. From our very first meeting, where she took the time to meet my family and understand my goals of having an unmedicated VBAC home birth despite some pushback from my provider, she stood firmly by my side. She educated me, empowered me, and guided me every step of the way.
Whenever I doubted myself, Melanie was there with genuine encouragement and unwavering support. During labor, she guided me through a wide range of positions, stayed fully present with me, and supported me with such care, intuition, and compassion. She helped me through the most challenging moments and ultimately played a huge role in me achieving my successful VBAC home birth.
Melanie is truly a gift in the doula field. If you have the opportunity to work with her, consider yourself incredibly fortunate, her support is worth every penny and more.
