Testimonial for Malissa Baldwin HBCE
Hello there,
I have to say that my experience getting a Doula to support me throughout my birth experience was truly the best investment I've ever made. Having Malissa in close contact with me, providing me with useful reading materials, literally holding my hand through my contractions and labour made my complicated birth experience less stressful than it could have been.
My baby came a bit earlier than expected and Malissa was there to help me remain as calm as possible and to help me "work through" my contractions to get them closer together. Although I had an emergency c-section in the end, it was important to have Malissa's expertise on hand to guide me through some very important decisions that would impact me and my baby. She was even there with me during the c-section!
In a nutshell, Malissa has a very patient, down-to-earth approach that made my partner and I very comfortable. She is accessible, compassionate, warm and a great listener. I really felt as though I had known her for years! I would highly recommend her to other women and men who want the additional support to ensure they have a more informed, pleasant, memorable birthing experience. Having a Doula like Malissa on hand put us at ease, no matter how things turned out. I am so grateful that she was there, regardless of the delivery outcome. I would definitely use her again, should we decide to have more babies. Thanks Malissa!
