Testimonial for Carli Mellentine
Carli embodies everything I was wanting in a Doula: a person to empower me, be a listening ear, and possess a vast array of knowledge, all the while being a calming presence and immeasurably supportive. Choosing Carli as our Doula was one of the best decisions my husband and I made for the birth of our firstborn.
From our preparatory meetings to the delivery and after, I couldn’t have asked for a better support and person to be on our team.
Carli was so thorough and attentive during our meetings. She ensured my preferences were outlined in a birth plan, provided me with research-based articles and information, and took time to clarify my requests so she could be the best support for us in the delivery room. Carli made me feel heard and often reached out to her contacts when she wasn’t sure about a question or request I had. She did everything in her power to get me the information I needed.
The birth didn’t go exactly as planned, but I am SO HAPPY with how everything turned out, and Carli was a giant part of that. She worked so organically with the rest of the staff and birthing team, and she was exactly what I needed that day and in the delivery room. She was so helpful with reminding us of our plan and making suggestions throughout the labor. It was a wonderful birthing experience.
Both pre- and post-delivery, there has not been a text that’s gone unanswered or a worry she hasn’t addressed. She has ALWAYS gone above and beyond the call of duty to help me.
Carli has a huge heart, is so easy to talk to, and is SO GOOD at what she does. If we ever have a second child, we want Carli to be our Doula again! I HIGHLY recommend her if you are looking for a Doula. -Sarah
