Testimonial for Mel Kennedy

We had the pleasure of having Mel support us in the first few weeks of our son's life, and I now recommend a postpartum doula to all expecting parents I meet. Not only does Mel have expertise in feeding, caring for and soothing a newborn baby, they also have a calming, grounding presence which was such a gift in any home with a brand new human.

It was so helpful to have Mel on our support team, especially when we encounted common challenges postpartum: thrush in baby, clogged ducts and mastisis in mama and the general questions that come with being parents for the first time. We felt at ease knowing Mel would be coming over, and that we could text them in between visits as well.

We appreciated how Mel advocated for us parents too - encouraging mama to rest or do a sitz bath, and checking in with dad's goal of quiting smoking. Our son is now 10 weeks old - we certainly owe a big part of our sanity in those early days, and our confidence as parents now to the support that Mel provided us.
