I'm lucky enough to be able to work with Mel as a doula buddy, I find her honest, kind, caring, relaxed and very reassuring not only is she a very skilled doula and has a wonderful child care background, she is just the type of person your lucky to have around. I couldn't be more blessed to be able to work along side her. If you need someone to be really there for you, its Mel.

To have a doula on your side is such a comfort and I would recommend it to anyone. I was just doubly blessed to have known... read more

I met Melanie for some ad hoc chats and support. She was so open and easy to talk to I felt very comfortable. We discussed lots of different aspects of pregnancy and birth and she was very knowledgeable with the current info and guidelines. I went on to have the homebirth that I'd planned feeling confident and trusting my body which I believe was in part to Melanie ❤️ I also feel that Melanie's as hoc services provide accessible support financially for those who can't afford to have a doula in the traditional sense.
