What Our Clients Say About Us

“Thank you for helping us get an experience we didn’t imagine was possible. Having a natural birth was the goal but not expected, and I’m so proud of how we all worked together to bring Edie into the world.” –AS, Fayetteville, NC


“She helped me set expectations about labor and delivery, which I believe ultimately helped me get through it so well.” –MP, Raeford, NC


“Melissa was my doula for the birth of my first child. I don’t know what I would have done without her. Like most new moms I went to the hospital way too early. Melissa met me back at my house after I got discharged even though it was 3am. She kept me calm and helped me labor at home for the next 12 hours.” –BP, Fayetteville, NC


“I had a unique birth experience and I loved how Melissa was very adaptive to my situation. She made a couple of visits to the hospital before and after I had the baby. She brought me books to read helped me to be ok with potentially having an emergency c-section. She was in the hospital just 30 min after my husband texted her in the middle of the night.” –AM, Southern Pines, NC


“The instructor (Melissa) was very knowledgeable and personable. She made us feel at ease and answered all of our questions.” –JN, Cameron, NC


“I am soooo proud of myself, this delivery was life changing for me! I couldn’t have done it without you! Even the nurse noticed that I changed when you got here! I was just waiting for you to tell me what to do and I trusted that you would help me through the delivery.” –LJ, Fayetteville, NC


“Comfort measures class was small and very helpful for positions. Birth doula was supportive and key in my birth for assistance with comfort measures and maintaining calm and peaceful environment. Very knowledgeable and supportive….peaceful and positive.” –RS, Fayetteville, NC

“100% recommend this company. Melissa is wonderful. . . . her support, knowledge, and guidance were crucial.” –SK, Fayetteville, NC
