What my clients are saying…
“Meet Melanie, my doula. Someone had referred her to me when I was 37 weeks pregnant. We finally met a week later. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate her. She has the most gentle soul and kept me calm through the last few weeks and during labor. I could not have done this without her. We immediately hit it off and she has been a friend ever since. Thank you so much for encouraging me and believing in me. Thank you for lifting me up in my most vulnerable moments and being there for me when I felt like everything was falling apart.”

“Melanie was a huge contributor to my successful VBAC. I had a very traumatic c-section with my son and was worried throughout my pregnancy about another c-section happening. Melanie was there, even when I called her panicking about the smallest things. She was so comforting when I had to be induced and she was amazing during the birth of my daughter. Melanie made it so my husband could focus on talking with me, instead of trying to apply pressure to where I was having pain. Melanie was there from 11pm Tuesday until 2 am Thursday! It really helped for my husband to also be able to rest and I still have a support person. I don't think I could have made it through as smoothly as I did without her.” ~ Jenica
Melanie was my doula for my second son. My first birth was planned out like a dream, and ended up a bit of a nightmare, so I was reluctantly hopeful that my second delivery would be my "redemption birth." We quickly became close friends, which was so beneficial for my ability to relax during labor. She stayed so in tune with my progress and what I needed at each stage. My favorite memory is laying on the side of the tub, whispering about needing medication, maybe I needed to go to the hospital. She sweetly replied, "You're doing so well, why would you think you need a hospital?" I responded, "Because I can't take another level, and I haven't even gone into transition yet." She smiled, looked me in the eye, and said, "Honey, I think you're in it right now,” with a little giggle that made me smile. Lo and behold, 10 minutes later I was pushing. I delivered my baby boy in the sweet serenity I'd dreamed of, and Melanie held my hand, massaged my back, danced, ran water over my back, and affirmed my ability to do it without missing a single beat. She is truly a blessing, and I can't speak highly enough of this amazing angel! ~ Gabbie
As every mother knows, there are so many emotions during pregnancy and birth. I was working with my midwife and she recommended I get a doula. Melanie and I became instant friends. She helped me process so many triggers from my traumatic previous birth and I never felt silly asking any questions. If she didn't know, she found information for me to be fully informed. My son was born 10lbs 9oz and I tell everyone I wouldn't have made it through my natural birth without the Lord, my husband giving me oils, and Melanie by my side! Please just do the consultation, you will be so grateful that you did! ~ Sydney
