Testimonial for Melanie Conn (MM, CPD, PD, TBH ADHD)
I cannot even imagine what giving birth would have been like without Melanie. She is a kind, intelligent person who is a joy to be around and offers compassionate, non-judgmental support for pregnant people to approach birth in any way that works best for them (including lots of changing your mind). In the time leading up to delivery her patience and flexibility helped me get the education and preparation I needed my way, and her kindness and support after the birth helped me stay grounded through a very difficult period. But it was the 24 hours of labor and delivery that I genuinely could not have gotten through without her. She had the knowledge to help me understand everything that was happening even when medical professionals were not as forthcoming as they should have been, she helped me advocate for my preferences and needs, and when I was deepest in the labor process she understood what I needed when there was no way I could have articulated it—and then she made it happen. Melanie is a multifaceted, multitalented human and the birthing world is lucky that she has chosen to concentrate her passions here.
Oh and did I mention funny? Because she made all the hours waiting in the hospital almost a breeze.
