Melissa is a wonderful doula. She will advocate for you tirelessly. From the moment we met I knew I had an expert in my corner. Her extensive knowledge put me at ease. She will never make you feel judged or silly for asking questions. I could tell or ask her anything.
I was planning another home birth with our 4th child. I never considered hiring a doula however as my pregnancy progressed I became increasingly uncomfortable with my midwife. I was also afraid I would not have any support if I was tranfered to a hospital. Melissa came highly recommended. I needed to be induced at 42 weeks at Yale. Melissa made sure the staff respected my wishes for as natural a birth as possible.
She also provided excellent support after the birth. She made sure everything was ok and got me the help I needed to manage my depression.
Saying I highly recommend Melissa is an understatement. Nurturing women is her calling.
