Malissa was an amazing doula!
For our first child we didn't have a doula. For our second, we did (in a different city). I knew that a doula was necessary for our third. I found Malissa through the recommendation of another doula. I was concerned about finding a wonderful doula, as I felt had been lucky in stumbling across a good match in our first doula experience. In our initial emails and first meeting, my concerns were eliminated - I found Malissa to be an amazing and knowledgable doula!
She was reasonable in her costs, and very helpful leading up to the birth. She was in constant contact, and even gave me recipes for smoothies to boost my iron!
While the birth was not what I expected (and probably not what she expected!), she fulfilled her role far beyond any expectations that I had. We got on quite well, and she even put up with my husband! She seemed to fall into her role seamlessly and was knowledgable and invested in making the experience a pleasant one.
It truly was a great experience, and I have no doubt that Malissa's presence and help contributed immensely to a great day of labour!
Thanks Malissa!
