Testimonial for Melissa M. Imperato CD(DONA)

What can I say about Melissa.... She was a godsend to my husband and I during our HBAC. I began my journey to a HBAC with the only stipulation that I was only going to the hospital if it was a dire emergency. We conducted lots of interviews of midwives and doulas and were blessed enough to have a wonderful team surrounding us for the birth of our son. Melissa is a firm believer in a woman's ability to birth, she has a wonderful energy and for those reasons we chose to add her to our team. During my birth Melissa kept me focused and using different techniques to help me manage the pain, she stayed by my side the entire night, and her presence allowed my husband to take the break he needed. When the big moment came Melissa took pictures, and once he was born, she stayed until we were all settled. I can honestly say that I could not have had the birth of my dreams without Melissa on our team, her presence was invaluable to my birth experience. I would 100% recommend her to anyone, and would be willing to talk to anyone about her presence at our birth.
