Testimonial for Melissa Johnson VIRTUAL AND IN PERSON SUPPORT

Melissa was recommended to me by my midwife. I personally was excited about having a doula by my side to help with all angles of birth. I interviewed Melissa and immediately knew she would be a great fit. My family was at first very skeptical on why a doula was needed. My whole goal this pregnancy was to do everything I could to help avoid any post-partum depression which I did get with my first born. Melissa ensured she would be with me every step of the way and whenever I needed her. She was in fact always there for us! From our pre-labor meetings and coaching us to our three days of long labor in the hospital. She slept in the hospital with us while I continued to have contractions all night long. This allowed my husband and mother to get some rest. Even while taking care of me she captured the most amazing pictures of my delivery and family.

Melissa showed up the next morning in the hospital after my son was born to check on how was doing and to make sure breastfeeding was going well. Melissa continued to be a huge support several weeks after delivery as I had several issues breastfeeding. She made sure I latched well and gave me the knowledge to empower me to breastfeed and to not give up.

I continue to reach out when questions arise and she answers me right away even though her part is completed. Melissa was inspiring and knowledgeable and we are thankful for her love and help support. My family was extremely happy with Melissa. They now understand why having a doula during birth is needed and they are thankful she was there.

Thank you Melissa for everything you have done for us! We love you!
