Testimonial for Melanie Schweitzer-Guymon
Melanie was our birth doula in December 2022, and I would recommended her with the highest praise to anyone who has the opportunity to work with her.
Even before going into labor, I was impressed with the way Melanie communicated with us. She listened empathetically when we told her about history and preferences, and seemed really well informed about the birthing issues that concerned me. I got the sense that she had great respect for the medical staff she worked alongside, but at the same time wouldn't be afraid to assertively advocate for our needs.
These were the qualities that gave us the confidence to invite Melanie to be at our son's birth, and she more than lived up to our expectations.
As first time parents, having her there made a HUGE difference to our experience. She asked questions I wouldn't have thought to, helped with coping strategies, and suggested ways for my husband to assist. All in all, she helped support us in a way that made labor way less scary than it could have been.
Thank you, Melanie, for being there for us at such a momentous time for our family. We feel lucky to have met you!
