Testimonial for Melissa Johnson VIRTUAL AND IN PERSON SUPPORT

As soon as I found out I was pregnant, I knew I wanted to hire a Doula ASAP. I was planning to interview a handful to make sure I found the best match for my husband and I. Melissa was the first Doula we met, and we decided we didn’t even want to look at anyone else as we instantly felt a connection and felt she was perfect for us. Having a natural birth in the hospital was something that was very important to me. Melissa helped me find the perfect medical provider who was exactly what we needed/wanted. She was always a text or phone call away if I needed ANYTHING. She calmed me down and guided me whenever I felt nervous or unsure about anything. Melissa educated us on so many things and helped us feel confident in ourselves. Our little baby girl came early and I started having symptoms of early labor at my baby shower that she attended. She stayed in touch with me throughout the day and thank goodness for her, because I am pretty sure I would not have gotten to the hospital as soon as I did without her guidance. I was a bit panicked, but having her there comforted me and made me feel much more at peace. She was also an incredible support for my husband, and she kept him engaged, hydrated and caffeinated throughout my labor. We both feel like she was our guardian angel and I don’t know that I could have done a natural birth without her. She has also been helping me with the difficulties of nursing. She has been willing to talk to me or visit to help me at any time. Both my husband and I feel so incredibly blessed by Melissa and all of the support she has offered us. I will absolutely have Melissa as my Doula for all my future babies. I would highly recommend Melissa as a Doula no matter what kind of birth you are planning for. Side note, her photography is beautiful and hanging out with her is a blast. ????
