Warm, compassionate, competent, respectful, resourceful, prepared - I truly cannot say enough good things about Melissa. She’s a wonderful listener, and because of that, she truly understood my hopes, fears, and vision for my birth. My husband and I are so thankful for her calm, steadying presence in the months leading up to our son’s birth, and through my unexpectedly early and rushed labor and delivery. Because of our pre-birth meetings and conversations, as well as her coaching while I was in labor, my husband and I were able to advocate for our little one’s birth to go exactly as we had hoped.
Melissa also recommended some extremely helpful books on birth, breastfeeding, and babies. The book on babies especially has been helpful these past several months as we’ve worked to gently nurture our sweet little one. Melissa’s inestimable impact on our family continues to this day through the education and tools she provided, and their waterfall effect on our parenting experience.
