Meldyn is a true joy to work with. I wish I had worked with her for the birth of my first-it wasn’t a great experience and think she could have made all the difference in the world. I’m so thankful she helped me with the birth of my second child. It was such a beautiful experience. She was there for me leading up to the birth, during, and afterward offering helpful advice and encouragement. I credit her with helping me have quick labor and delivery and helping me avoid a C-section. It was a beautiful birth and all I had hoped for. I believe much of that is from working with her and planning what we could together. She is so knowledgeable and has a calming, supportive energy. I highly recommend Meldyn and would ask her if she’d be my doula if I had another baby. She is a gifted doula and wonderful person.

My words really can’t describe how much Meldyn helped me get through this birth. This birth was such a more intense experience then my first and without Meldyn, her energy work, and everything she did to help remind myself to go deeper and stay strong though those vulnerable moments was everything that helped get my little man earthside. I feel my body knew that we had to get my baby born fast and furious and without her that may not have happened. So I thank her from the bottom of my heart. <3 I am so deeply grateful for what doulas do to help women/mothers through the most sacred time of welcoming their children into the world. I highly recommend Meldyn to help support you in your birthing journey.

Meldyn was so calming and encouraging during my labor and delivery! She reminded me often to talk to baby during labor, which was helpful for me to stay focused and positive. She also was consistently telling me I was doing a good job and always had an encouraging word. I am so thankful for her presence at my baby’s birth! Meldyn also checked in with in the early days/weeks after baby was born which I so appreciated.
