Testimonial for Mel Kennedy

Our experience with Mel was amazing right from the very beginning. Mel heard everything that was important to us in our pregnancy and birth journey. Mel helped give us words for our wants so that we could clearly communicate them to our midwife before and during delivery. Mel met with us multiple times before labor to check in and provide whatever support we needed at that time including many helpful resources online and in the community! Though our quick labor and covid prevented us from having Mel there physically with us (though had we called earlier Mel would have been right there at our home), Mel was by our side through the whole birth and afterwards too! Mel stayed on the phone with my wife to provide support for us continuously! Mel could hear when the hospital nurse was trying to push us to break my water and quickly gave us verbiage and sent us research articles to help us advocate for what we wanted. Mel always supported what we want and made my wife (non-birthing Mom) feel integral, heard and important. They was key for us! Mel also checked in and met with us virtually after we got home to provide support there. Our only change would be to have called Mel earlier so they could have come to our home, but we were first time Moms and didn't anticipate that labor would move as quickly as it did, since everyone tells you the first is always long! Would 100% work with Mel again on a future pregnancy and birth!
