Testimonial for Melanie Conn (MM, CPD, PD)
I am so grateful that I was able to hire Melanie as my doula. I was nervous during my pregnancy due to previous loss and IVF and she was available and generous throughout the pregnancy to provide fact- based reassurance and tips for every concern and symptom throughout. Her demeanor and experience made me feel confident and relaxed as possible going into the birth experience because I knew she would be a calm and knowledgeable resource and guide throughout. Personally she is very attentive and focused but not given to over reassuring (i e no false positivity or unsupported confidence) and that was a good match for my personality and needs. She was deft in protecting my needs during challenges during the birth and making sure I understood what was happening and what I should expect, and if there were options or changes in pace I could consider. Looking back at some of the challenges I encountered during the birth I was so grateful to have her by my side (in addition to a partner present- sometimes you really do need an experienced guide and another person to focus on your needs!) and would have felt a lot more anxious and scared navigating the process without her. The follow up care was great too.
