Melissa was a fantastic choice for a doula. She was very kind, supportive, and informative. She provided excellent care both pre and post natal. Her experience during the delivery was invaluable. I had a very difficult delivery and her calm yet assertive manner provided me with the direction I required to make it through the process. She was also very helpful to my partner. Her support over the phone, via email, and in person after the delivery was just what we needed. She directed us to useful online resources and provided us with in person assistance - particularly with breastfeeding. Her knowledge and instruction of current breastfeeding techniques, especially the laid back approach, really helped. I was almost ready to abandon breastfeeding. I would highly recommend Melissa as a doula. She is amazing!
