Testimonial for Melanie Conn (she/her)
I am so thankful to have found Melanie for my first pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey. There were so many unknowns and she was there to answer my questions or help me find the answers I needed. We met up a couple times before delivery and she was always just a text or phone call away. I loved her reminders to call in after all my prenatal appointments to check in and let her know how baby and I were doing. Melanie truly cared and made it known.
I planned a homebirth so she did a home visit and scoped out potential areas/tools to help me through labor. By the time labor arrived, she was my first point of contact for any changes/developments and was in constant contact as my labor progressed quickly. When it was time for her to come, she was quick, attentive and respected all my wishes. She gave me physical relief during times of intense sensation and helped me feel empowered. I felt fully supported and heard. She was also a doula to my husband, reaching out to him when I was no longer "with it" - guiding him along the journey too.
By postpartum, I needed support on how to process my new life and again Melanie was there - offering advice, answering questions, or to just chat. She has blown me away as a doula but also as a person fiercely supporting birthing people in the community. I hired Melanie as a doula but also gained a friend.
