Melissa has been our doula for all 3 of our births. We originally met her when I was pregnant with our 1st as she was teaching our prepared childbirth class. I was about 7 months pregnant and had never questioned having an epidural until we learned more about how natural childbirth was an option and with the right support it can be an incredible experience. We decided to hire Melissa as our doula for our 1st. it was one of the best decision we have ever made. Not only did Melissa walk with me, help us manage labor with he melodical tone of voice, make suggestions of what to do next, but she also assisted my husband and promoted his support for me during the birth of our 1st. On top of it she took some of my most cherished photos. I felt like a million bucks after the delivery of our 1st and with Melissa's help I was able to have a natural childbirth experience. Melissa was also present at the birth of our 2nd child which was also a fantastic birth. I didn't realize that she had more useful ideas to get things going. Although my 2nd birth was shorter it seemed like it was a lot longer but Melissa kept me focused and she used massage techniques that kick started my contractions and made me progress. We didn't realize how vastly different each birth can be and we thought we knew exactly what to do after our 1st but having Melissa by our side to help was invaluable. Then a few years passed and we relocated out of TX & I got pregnant. I called Melissa to ask for advice on how to find a good doula. Then about a month before delivery we were relocated again to a city where we knew nobody. Once again her services were point on, she taught my husband where to massage and it kick started my contractions. i didn't think it could get any better, but my 3rd was by far my best birth. All 3 were natural births and we couldn't have done it without Melissa! Now she is not only our doula, but our friend! We love Melissa and will hire her again and so should you
