Testimonial for Melissa F. Haley (they/she)
Melissa was such a great match for my birth experience. As a queer person, I felt that Melissa was respectful of my identity and gave information to me that was in line with my identity and wishes. They were super helpful when it came to answering questions about labor and even answered questions I didn't know I had. Melissa's help during the actual labor was absolutely stellar and I believe one of the most important pieces to having a great birth. They helped set up the delivery room to be as peaceful as possible, they taught my other support people hands on ways to ease my discomfort, they encouraged me to stand by my decisions with the medical providers, gave me all the information I needed to make informed decisions about medicines and what I wanted for my birth experience, helped me to laugh and dance throughout my labor process, and they provided lactaction support and additional encouragement after delivery. I am so thankful to have had Melissa as my doula, I don't think delivery would have been so smooth had they not been there for me. Thank you so very, very much Melissa <3
