Testimonial for Malorie Melson
Malorie assisted with the birth of our first child. She has a wonderful, calming presence, which was so helpful for my anxiety. She provided great information in our prenatal appointment to help us be more informed and prepared for what labor would feel like. She was a pivotal part of our birthing team. She helped my partner support me by guiding him through physical and emotional support techniques. My labor ended in a c-section due to concerns about my child's heart rate and the effects of prolonged labor. Malorie helped us carefully consider our options and advocated for my birth preferences. She also came to our home to help us during our postpartum period. My partner and I were suffering from extreme anxiety and the visit with Malorie was a major turning point in beginning to enjoy our time with our baby. She talked us through our birth story and helped with babywearing. She also provided us lactation support and recommended lactation consultants. Including Malorie in our birth was one of the best decisions we made.
