Testimonial for Melanie Conn (MM, CPD, PD, TBH ADHD)
Melanie was such an amazing support system for our recent birth. We aimed to go natural, but was teetering all along the way with some fear and anticipation. She was such a steady voice of support and understanding. She was easy to communicate with and allowed me/us to ask the many questions that came all along the way. I also appreciated her candor when it came to valuable birth/lactation/postpartum classes, programs, etc. I also appreciated her candor in the pre-birth meetings to discuss some of the things that might be triggers/very annoying to me/my partner during labor and how we ensure that I felt comfortable in communicating those feelings and just sharing anything ahead of time for her to be aware of.
When it came to the birth, she was worth her weight in gold. We hoped to labor at home for as long as possible and she was crucial in that process. Giving supportive counter pressure during contractions, new positions/activities to embrace during the early labor, timing and following all of the important indicators, and just keeping things moving.
Lastly, she helped tremendously during the hospital birth. She brought her twinkly lights, fan, oils, and more - many used, many just in case. She was so prepared. She remained a steadfast partner and advocate the whole journey.
Grateful for a doula like her and would highly recommend.
