Testimonial for Melissa Johnson VIRTUAL AND IN PERSON SUPPORT

We made the decision to hire Melissa early in our pregnancy after the excellent recommendation from our dear friends. Best decision! Right from the start Melissa helped us feel confident in our pregnancy choices. She went above and beyond in helping us find ways to be more comfortable during pregnancy, including attending appointments and introducing us to a new provider chiropractic care. When we were feeling the need for more labor prep support, Melissa took much time and care to teach us techniques, and even included my four year old son in helping mom. Our home birth was successful and beautiful, and we felt so supported with Melissa’s calm presence and vast knowledge. She made the experience of welcoming our second into our family so special. While she played a huge rule in helping with labor comfort measures and instilling confidence in us along the way, she somehow managed to also capture the most beautiful photos and videos along the way, without us even noticing she was doing so.

From the husband’s perspective, “she guided me very gently on being the primary support for Hannah, I felt like I knew what was going on, and if I was feeling worried about how things were going, she reminded me that all was going great and it was all normal. I wouldn’t have felt as comfortable with our home birth without Melissa there. She helped me be a better birthing partner than I would have know to be on my own".

After birth, Melissa took the time to check in on us and answer any breastfeeding questions. We also hired her for post partum family photos that we will cherish forever

We both so look forward to having the opportunity to work with Melissa again in the future!
