” Giving birth should be your greatest achievement, not your greatest fear. ”
– Jane Weideman
I understand that choosing a person to be with you at the birth of your child is an intimate process.
You want to feel confident that they’ll bring positive energy, intentions and support.
As your Doula I bring a non-judgemental, down-to-earth style to the experience, and I will stay by your side every step of the way.
You can count on me to be there throughout your entire labour, anticipating your needs, providing massage, comfort measures, and reassurance.
It is my job to make sure you and your partner have the space and information you need to feel good.
and who doesn’t aim to feel good at their birth?
Hiring Mel was probably one of the best decisions and investments we made in support of the birth of our first child. We found out about the pregnancy after we were already past the first trimester, and were more than a tad overwhelmed with all the variables and the decisions that go along with birth. We appreciated that Mel offered to meet us before we committed to make sure we were the right fit – we definitely were.
I met Mel when I was 12 weeks pregnant and knew right away that I wanted her to be part of our birth journey. Mel was an amazing support from the second we hired her. She constantly checked-in to see how I was feeling (both physically and mentally) and her positive attitude and encouragement always brightened my day.
I can not recommend Mel The Doula’s services enough. She will make you feel supported. She will never arrived empty handed. She will not disappoint. My over all experience with Mel was excellent and everything I could have hoped for. Maybe more? Definitely more.
