Melanie is a fantastic doula! We knew as soon as we interviewed her that she was who we wanted to support us through this process as we instantly felt comfortable with her and appreciated her calming presence, honesty and humor. Melanie frequently checked in on me during my pregnancy and was readily available to address my questions and concerns. She brought up things I would not have considered on my own to add to my birth plan. When my labor started I felt more confident with her guiding us through the early stages. When I was struggling through contractions later on she helped to keep me grounded and provided reassurance. She also captured the birth of our daughter and some sweet moments of the three of us afterwards that we cherish having.
I feel very fortunate having had the birth I wanted to and am so thankful to Melanie for helping us along the way. I don’t know if I could have done it without her support.
