Wellness Within

"We could not have asked for a better person to be our doula!! Melissa is very knowledgeable and resourceful. She was readily available for any questions/concerns, and if she didn't know the answer, she would do her best to find out. She always respected and honored any decision we made regarding our birthing plan. She is down to earth and brings a sense of calmness to any situation which is exactly what we were looking for. And her massages are fantastic!! That was a big bonus for mommy! You will not be disappointed if you choose her as your doula!"

"I hadn’t even thought about having a doula, when a friend told me about her great experience with Melissa. I’m so glad we took my friend’s recommendation! This was my first pregnancy, so Melissa guided my husband and I through all the stages of pregnancy and childbirth and all the potential choices/decisions we would or may need to make. She was so informative it made putting together our birth plan a breeze. And of course, when the labor did not go anywhere near as planned, Melissa was there throughout the process - she made us feel relaxed and confident in our decisions. I would highly recommend Melissa!"

"Melissa was an amazing doula, and helped guide my fiance and I thru pregnancy and a natural childbirth at a hospital. She gave us the tools to make informed decisions and gave me the confidence to stand by my birth plan despite influences from my healthcare provider and the hospital staff during childbirth. Having Melissa in the room during labor and delivery was the best decision we made, we couldn't have done it without her support!"

"Oh my gosh I don’t even know where to begin! Melissa has been so amazing over these past 9 months. She has such a positive spirit and is incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to childbirth. When my husband and I found out we were expecting we knew we wanted to have a natural birth and definitely wanted a doula. We had a meet and greet with Melissa and instantly knew she was the one. I also loved that she was a massage therapist! I would see her monthly for prenatal massages during pregnancy. Melissa was great with sending us reading material to prepared us for labor. She also gave me a reference to an amazing chiropractor who specializes in pregnancy when I was having pelvis pain and thought the baby was breech. She was a huge support to my husband during early labor and at the hospital she had great ideas for positions to help labor continue to progress. I cannot recommend Melissa enough! She helped give me the perfect birth experience!"
