My wife Nicole and I hired Melissa as our doula around the middle of Nicole's pregnancy, and we are very happy with our decision. She has proven herself worth every penny and then some as our doula, maternity and newborn photographer, and lactation consultant.
She made herself available and took time early on to meet with us, review birthing plans & strategies, and answer every question we could think of. Her dedication has been evident throughout the past handful of months, to include two lengthy photo shoots with us, a tour of the hospital's facilities for every portion of labor/delivery/recovery, doctor appointments, and of course the entire labor and delivery process itself. Having her experience and knowledge with us through one of the longest nights of our lives gave us peace of mind in a very challenging situation. As a husband and new father, I can say that she did a nice job of helping and supporting us both while respecting my role in the experience.
Melissa's follow-up with us in our initial days home from the hospital with our baby paid huge dividends in setting my wife's mind at ease and answering our questions, which made the transition easier for all of us. She has also taken numerous amazing photos of all three of us that are thankful to have, and have intern helped us to share the entire experience with loved ones near and far.
We are thankful we had Melissa as our doula (and photographer and lactation consultant), and we highly recommend her to anyone in the area considering her services.
