Every birthing parent needs a doula, and we needed Melanie. She's chatty and casual during pre and postpartum appointments, super honest, sassy, and funny. She is a fabulous listener and excellent at checking in throughout pregnancy and postpartum with texts and calls.
During labor, Melanie was an absolutely solid support partner. When labor escalated, her chatty demeanor was replaced by a constant calm, level-headed presence. Melanie's quiet encouragement was just what I needed during an intense and sometimes chaotic birth experience. In a soothing but no nonsense manner she constantly and tirelessly reminded me to breathe, not panic, and gently suggested different coping techniques. I can't put into words how grateful I am that my family got to work with Melanie.
