When I turned to Melissa I was 28 weeks pregnant with twins and scheduled for a repeat c-section, and disappointed. I remembered Melissa as the instructor of my child birth classes years before and hoped she would have insight into my situation. Melissa was immediately encouraging and confident that I deserved a chance at the kind of birth I was hoping for. With her years in the field she quickly pointed me to providers that would support aiming for a VBAC deliver of my twins. She helped me connect with other services (chiropractor, massage, etc) that would help prepare my body and mind. Melissa has such a straight forward and confident manner that I needed facing so many unknowns. My husband and I felt so empowered with Melissa in our corner which aleviated much anxiety. As my labor began Melissa's late night phone calls kept me reassured of what steps I needed to take. The day of delivery Melissa was on the floor with another client who was also delivering. She made sure we had an amazing doula by our side and stayed very involved checking on me and offering suggestions to guide my progression while also focusing on the client she was with. Melissa was a major part in helping my twins be delivered in a healthy and safe way and as I had hoped they could be. I am so grateful for Melissa's guidance during my pregnancy, delivery and even since then. She is such a source of knowledge and support for women.
