Testimonial for Melanie Guymon CFSD
We worked with Melanie as both a birth and post-partum doula. We were so lucky to meet Melanie just a week before our baby was born and are thankful that she was able to be flexible to support our earlier than expected delivery. In the hospital Melanie assisted with pain management positions and breathing techniques. Once my delivery transitioned to an emergency c-section Melanie ensured that I knew what was going on and consented to the decisions that needed to be made. Throughout, she made sure my husband felt informed and involved.
Once we were at home, Melanie provided post-partum services for 5 nights over a few week stretch. We looked forward to the nights when Melanie would come over as we not only got extra sleep but we also learned a lot from Melanie's expertise such as how to soothe our son after a middle of the night feeding. I really appreciate Melanie's flexibility with scheduling which allowed us to adapt appointments to best fit our baby's evolving routine.
Melanie was the third member of our parenting "team" and her constant positivity and encouragement helped us gain confidence as brand new parents. She is a main character in our birth story and the first couple of months of our baby's life!
