Testimonial for Carli Mellentine CLC,CD(DONA), HCHD
Our family was so blessed to meet Carli Mellentine! We had a special agreement with her to offer sibling support during our labor and she went above and beyone by arranging a "play date" with our 3 year old, so that they could get to know eachother better before the big day.
We met with Carli a few times before the birth to go over our desires, plans, etc., which was really helpful! During these sessions, we laughed, we dreamed, and we calmed fears. Carli is a very knowlegable woman and was always willing to offer her advice and personal experience to every question we had.
Our intentions to have a home birth were altered when I received results of high liver enzymes, but Carli kept in good contact with us via calls and texts and really helped me to mentally prepare for a hospital birth. While everyone else (docs and midwife) were keeping my health in check, Carli was there to offer comfort, and keep my heart in check. Tearfully choosing to severly alter our birth plans (by going to the hospital) was SO much easier with Carli's encouragemnt and heartfelt support. After our quick, short, happy, healthy birth Carli was STILL there for us. She helped us get to the recovery side of the hospital and made sure we were all settled in before she left. Carli came to see us 2 more times after our birth and we certainly hope to see her again! :)
Our family HIGHLY recommends Carli. She is so thoughtful and attentive to the needs of the whole family!
