Testimonial for Madison Mellencamp
I knew for my second pregnancy that I wanted to try a doula for peace of mind, postpartum care, and to encourage a healthier more hollistic pregnancy. Madison was unbelievably helpful - above and beyond. She was encouraging after my initial miscarriage and there for me from the start of the following pregnancy when it was early and still very nerve wrecking. Reiki sessions left me with such a calm head space and happy heart, and prenatal yoga felt so good for my body and mind. She answered all of my (many!) questions, day and night - I felt truly, truly cared for. Madison fully supported the birth plan that my husband and I wanted, and she helped us create a plan to give to our providers so that they knew our hopes and what we wanted for our baby's birth. I ended up needing a scheduled C-section and Madison eased all of my nerves and helped me through dealing with the fact that this was not my original birth plan. She was in the OR with me and my husband and held my hand throughout the process - I could not have asked for a better experience, even though it was a change of plans. She was also a great calming presence for my husband and for that alone I am super greatful because it helped him be more present for me and the baby instead of a nervous wreck! I felt at ease, happy and had zero regrets about my birth. Madison's postpartum care was essential to my mental health - homecooked meals, again many questions answered at all times of day, constant checking on how I was doing both physically and mentally, postpartum goodie bags that brought a smile to my face!, and lots and lots of love and reassurance. I couldn't imagine going through the process without her help, guidance and friendship!
