Testimonial for Mel Kennedy CPM, CLC
Let me start by saying this review genuinely comes from the heart. The work that Melissa does is phenomenal. Becoming a mother whether for the first time or a beautiful addition, can be scary. You want support. You want to be heard and you want to be respected. Melissa did this for me. She helped me create the atmosphere that I wanted to give birth in bringing the best essential oils and adding a certain element to my room that I needed to stay calm and become centered during contractions. This was my first time working with a doula but I knew It was something I wanted to experience as I completed a natural water birth in the heart of the city. Melissa was very professional, kind, and overall caring. The open communication was what I needed as she made suggestions needed to help me cope and never passed judgement nor made me feel uncomfortable. She was very patient and active the entire duration. She offered so much encouragment. Once we got home, she continued to check on us, offer additional resources and was there to answer any questions or listen to any concerns. Every woman on this planet deserves that type of support. We deserve to be celebrated for creating and sustaining life for this very planet.
