I cannot express my gratitude to Medina enough for being an amazing Doula and support system during my pregnancy, birth and postpartum journey! At My Meaningful Health, Medina provided me with insightful information, practices and resources for me to reach my VBAC goal. She gave me a strong sense of confidence and security during my challenging pregnancy. I had a C-section 17 months ago and my OB team doubted that I would be able to successfully have a VBAC this pregnancy. I’m so thankful that I worked closely with Medina to prepare my mind, body and womb to deliver my baby this time around. She was very professional, empathetic and knowledgeable during the whole process. Her expertise and passion for birth work is evident! I was able to successfully have a VBAC after working with My Meaningful Health! I recommend Medina as a Doula for any expectant mom that wants a beautiful birth experience!!

Medina is such a wonderful and peaceful presence during my birth. She was always in contact with me. Sent me weekly birth education and knew exactly what to do to help my body birth my baby. Her positive and caring energy is contagious and made me feel safe and relax during my birth. She also did massage techniques that helped with pain management.
