Testimonials

“I don't think I can explain how much Melinda has helped our family. She was my doula for both of my births.She helped me get through very long labors, make hard choices, and be content with the outcome. Melinda is the only reason I made it through my first birth. With her at my second birth I knew everything would turn out for the best. She is very gentle and kind. She never pushes you to pick one way over another. She is very knowledgeable and has many tricks up her sleeve to help you. Melinda is very selfless, I felt that I was the only one she cared about and she did everything in her power to help me. I can not express how wonderful she is just with words. I will be forever indebted to her, for her kindness, attention and knowledge.”- KS

“We found Melinda’s work to be helpful in so many ways. She was above all else extremely sensitive to the needs of a family as they welcome a child into the world. She balanced professionalism with a warm, loving manner. It was also fun having her around because she really loves what she does! Melinda truly understands and appreciates the process of pregnancy, childbirth and the “babymoon” period. She placed a high value on my (the mother’s) needs as well as the needs of my family. Whether it was making sure I had water or playing with my older child, she was willing and able to do it in a way that blended into our family seamlessly.”- MC

“Melinda provided information (and reassurance) about frequency of feeding, positioning and signs of a “well fed”, thriving baby. She also provided information about pumping and returning to work. It was really nice to converse with someone who knew what I was experiencing” -KR

“We had a baby with a cleft lip and palate. Melinda researched the condition and came fully prepared. She was also available to accompany me to hospital visits. Everything is so new, Melinda helped with the transition.” -AMD
