My labor was very long. Way longer than I planned it to be, but it was bearable and empowering. And I DID IT! Mel helped me so much, gave me so many great pointers such as reading birthing affirmations and listening/creating a birthing playlist to help me prepare my mind for birth. Mel durning my labor was incredible. She made me and my husband comfortable. If she wasn’t helping me through the contractions she was helping my husband, wether it was him trying to help make me comfortable or her supporting him through the process. Mel gave us so much support during our labor. She truly was our backbone.

It was incredibly difficult but so felt extremely well supported. My husband and I would have had such a worse experience if Mel hadn’t been there to hell us the whole way. She new instinctively how to serve us in what we needed and was good about asking for feedback about how we liked what she was doing. I am so so grateful we had her present in the journey with us
