Testimonial for Melissa Tuton, CD, BRM Certified Birth Pro
I hired Melissa about halfway through my second pregnancy and I couldn't have made a better choice. I had a very difficult birth and postpartum experience with my first child so was looking to do everything I could to ensure I had the birth and postpartum experience I wanted this time around. Melissa listened to everything I experienced and came up with a custom movement plan for me to follow to ensure my body was ready to give birth again. I planned for a home birth and Melissa was in full support of this plan and fully confident that I'd be able to do it this time. Leading up to my birth Melissa was regularly checking in and providing suggestions for different movements that could help get labor going and just being a calming sounding board, which I definitely needed. I ended up having a precipitous birth and Melissa's calm confidence during the most intense moments of my labor provided exactly what both my husband and I needed at the time. She was the one who suggested the final pushing position that allowed for the most progress and lead to my child being born successfully at home. Post birth she was by my side making sure I was taken care of, and just lending her support and knowledge. I would highly recommend Melissa as a doula - we couldn't have done it without her.
