Natasha's Testimonial
July 5th 2011
"Melissa was my postpartum doula for several weeks and I could not have done it with out her! Melissa is an incredibly easy-going person and wonderful to have helping during such a sensitive and personal time. She is naturally intuitive and is so flexible with your needs. She truly is a baby whisperer and I felt that my baby was getting the best care when she taught me various techniques in feeding, burping and bathing my baby. She came out to visit the baby and me, as much as we needed and truly went beyond her promises! All her tips and advice helped me adjust to motherhood. She also is an amazing resource; she not only is helpful with a multitude of motherhood/parenting topics, she was easily accessible and answered all my questions and concerns 24/7 and continues to do so if I ever call her with a random question. I highly recommend her services and won't hesitate to hire her again next time around!"


 

 

Ritu's Testimonial

"My son, Deven, is almost 3 months old and I can securely say that I feel like a strong & confident new mom.  This is largely thanks to Melissa.  It is difficult to imagine that someone you have only known a short while can provide you with so much comfort, caring and support.  Even though I had the help of my family, Melissa gave me something no one else could - confidence.
She has been part of my son's life from his first breath and hasn't stopped caring since.  During my first week home, Melissa was a god-send, especially at 3 in the morning!  She not only gave me the tools I needed to get through those rough first few days but she also gave me the support and advice that made me believe in myself to be a great mom.  Almost as important, she gave me a few hours of much needed sleep!
Melissa is patient, extremely caring and thoughtful (thanks for the tea at 3 am, folded laundry just so I wouldn't have to and the hugs that always came at the right time!)
I know I would have eventually figured everything out on my own but having Melissa here with us made the first couple of weeks enjoyable & memorable as an extremely positive experience which can be a challenge with only a couple of hours of sleep a night.
 
Melissa: our lives are forever changed because of you.  I can't thank you enough for everything.  You were a sounding board when I needed it, a great motivator when I wanted to give up and an incredible friend
that I will always cherish.  Most of all, I love you for caring for Deven as if he was your own." 
 
We cannot thank you enough,
Ritu, Yogesh & Deven
