Testimonial for Melissa Duenas-Witter
Choosing Melissa as our birth doula was probably one of the best decisions I have made in my life (and I pride myself on making good decisions). I had a lot of anxiety surrouding labor and decided early on in my pregnancy that hiring a doula might be a good thing. I did my research and came across Melissa’s website and really liked that she had a lot of experience with twins. We set up a consult and after 10 minutes of talking I knew Melissa was my doula. What I didn’t know was that she would have a profound effect in our lives. We frequently talk about Melissa and how amazing she is. Throughout my pregnancy, she was there at any time of the day and would in various occasions calm me down from panic attacks. I often present myself as being totally in control and strong. I was not feeling like that throughout my pregnancy and Melissa truly saw me. She understood me and what I needed. I felt like she undersyo my struggles with the pregnancy. When I was sent in for an induction, I felt oddly calm because I had my wife with me and because I knew Melissa had my back. Melissa believed in me even when I thought I couldn’t deal with the pain anymore. I had my babies like I wanted to and Melissa was such an important part of it. I am honored and blessed to have had Melissa as my doula. She will always be part of our family’s story and hope she continues to be so.
