Testimonial for Melanie Conn (MM, CPD, PD)
After a traumatic first birth experience, I wasn't even sure I wanted to birth again. When we found out I was pregnant, I knew I had to do everything to make the second time different. First step, find a doula. Right away, Melanie made me feel supported, understood, and safe. She helped me find a new midwife practice and surround myself with the best VBAC supportive team I could have asked for. Mel was always there when I needed her. From talking me off the ledge, encouraging me, giving suggestions and advice, validating me, and of course providing endless laughs. Mel literally made not just my pregnancy but my life more manageable these past few months.
When I was past my due date then past 41 weeks Mel was gentle with me and never made me feel like I was too much. She kept calm and continued reassuring me to believe in myself and my body. Her presence and guidance gave me the redemptive birth experience I wasn't sure I'd ever get. She helped heal wounds from my first birth that still felt so raw and real even 2.5 years later. Mel is so much more than a doula to me and my family. I could rave about her all day and if you choose her to be a part of your team, I promise you'll be forever glad you did!
