Testimonial for Melanie Conn (MM, CPD, PD)
Melanie is an absolute super star and I could not have had the wonderful birth experience that I had without her help. After a traumatic birth experience with our first, my husband and I decided we would like additional support for our second pregnancy/birth and hired Melanie. She showed such empathy and understanding about my anxieties around the birth of baby #2 during our initial conversations that I knew she would be a great match for our needs.
Melanie showed unwavering support and advocacy for my birthing goals of having a VBAC with as few medical interventions as possible. The materials and resources she shared throughout pregnancy were incredibly helpful and it felt like chatting with a friend every time we checked in.
She kept my spirits up and my frustrations in check during the week of prodromal labor I had leading up to the birth, and kept me calm and focused during my very(!) short 3 hour labor and delivery. I tend to panic in situations of stress so she made sure we knew exactly what to do and where to go when it was clear that things were moving FAST, which was a huge support. She was extremely prepared with tools to aid in the laboring process and made sure to not only support me throughout the process but my husband as well. She took pictures of the birth that I will cherish forever and made sure that we felt settled and supported after the birth.
I am eternally grateful to her for helping me achieve the beautiful unmedicated VBAC birth experience that I so desperately wanted. Melanie communicates with kindness, compassion, and humor, and is a relentless force of advocacy for her clients. I can’t recommend her enough!!
