I was given a referral to Melanie's services when I enquired about placenta capsuls. From the very start Melanie was warm, nurturing, informative, and understanding. As a first time mom I had many questions, concerns, etc. and she did well to answer them all thoroughly. Melanie was available night and day and anytime I needed reassurance. She provided me with her certifications, evidenced based info, and shared informative knowledge about the standards of care and cleanliness practices. She provided me with referral information on newborn photographers, reputable pediatricians, and made sure the I knew how to advocate for myself with my medical team. She showed up to the hospital early and waited 2-hrs for my C-section to be over so that she could receive my placenta as soon as available. She showed me emotional support when I struggled with seeing my Postpartum body as beautiful. She kept up with me during my time in recovery at the hospital and came to my home with flowers, personalized gifts for my newborn twins, and a huge hug. ??You can tell she really loves what she does and has a special gift. I have found for than a doula in her. I have found extended family in her.
