What families say
As a first-time mom there were very few wishes I had going into pregnancy: 1) to welcome a healthy child; 2) to have minimal of interventions during labor and delivery given what it took to get pregnant.
I am a first-time mom so, admittedly, I don't know any different than going through a pregnancy, a birth, and a postpartum journey with Melissa by my side. That said, now that I have experienced her wisdom, I truly can't imagine walking this journey without her.
As a pelvic floor physical therapist, I work with pregnant and postpartum women every single day and one of the most important things I can do for my clients is connect them with providers who will truly show up for them during one of the most profound experiences of their lives. Melissa is exactly that person.
Don't wait--Book Melissa now! We started working with Melissa during my last trimester and I was thankful she was even available as she is typically booked months in advance. I was blown away by the amount of knowledge she has and I felt assurance from the first meeting with her that I would be in good hands.
