I’m more than happy to recommend Melanie for postpartum doula services! We just had our first child, and she was invaluable help to our family as a night doula during our first six weeks. Melanie is extremely knowledgeable and generous with sharing her expertise; not only does she have keen insight into infant behavior and best practices, but she also provided thoughtful recommendations for equipment and products we might want to consider to make our lives easier. She helped us pack our diaper bag for our first pediatrician appointment, and shared tips and advice on what we might want to keep in mind for once our child is older. On a logistical note, it was always easy to communicate with Melanie and we appreciated her flexibility when our baby came earlier than expected. We’re so grateful for Melanie’s help and expertise. I can think of no one better to trust our baby with. She was a genuine joy to work with, and we miss her already!

Melanie was our night nurse for our son from the first night we came home from the hospital until he was about 4 months old. She was an incredible support the moment she arrived. From helping us with his sleeping, to breastfeeding, introducing formula and bottles that worked for him, pumping and purchasing the right pump parts, getting to the bottom of our son's gas issues, transitioning out of a swaddle, and ultimately getting on a sleep schedule, I cannot sing her praises enough. She is incredibly knowledgable, kind, and caring at such a vulnerable time for a new family and I hold the utmost respect and trust for her.

We highly recommend Melanie, whose expertise in newborn care, CPR training, and lactation support was invaluable to us as first-time parents. Melanie was our trusted source of advice, education, and guidance for both our son’s care and my postpartum recovery. Melanie’s meticulousness, thoughtfulness, and nurturing approach was transformative. Under her guidance, I navigated breastfeeding successfully and our son developed positive sleep habits by 8 weeks, allowing him to sleep through the night. Melanie’s calm and reassuring presence replaced any anxiety we had with confidence and peace of mind from the moment we arrived home. Her support allowed us time to focus on healing, bonding, and building confidence as new parents—gifts we are deeply grateful for. Melanie’s impact on our family’s well-being was immeasurable, giving us the best start possible.

If I could give Melanie more than 5 stars, I would. She’s amazing. I used her for both of my babies. She helps you prepare for them, helps you feel confident when they come because of her energy and experience, trained us in CPR, and helped get both of them on an amazing sleep schedule (they both still sleep all night- 12 hours). I can’t recommend her enough. We were lucky to have her (she was the first call we made with both pregnancies to make sure we booked her).

Melanie was so professional and knowledgable. She has the magic touch with babies & helped me get my baby on a routine! Couldn't recommend Melanie high enough. I would have another baby just to have Melanie come help us again! Not only is she amazing with babies, but she comforted me and reassured me every step of the way!
