What families say

Melanie was my doula for my second son. My first birth was planned out like a dream, and ended up a bit of a nightmare, so I was reluctantly hopeful that my second delivery would be my "redemption birth". We quickly became close friends, which was so beneficial for my ability to relax during labor.

If you are looking for a doula, Melanie with Joy in the Journey is fantastic! She really took the time to listen and get to know my husband and me, our history, and our hopes & plans for our birth. She is very knowledgeable, caring, and takes her role as advocate & support person seriously.

★★★★★ — Laura, 2024-01

I had the most beautiful birth experience thanks to Melanie and Sam! As a ftm, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I knew I wanted a birth with as little medical intervention as possible and they made it happen. They took so much pressure off my husband to be my sole support and to be able to just enjoy the process.

★★★★★ — Grace, 2024-11

Melanie was a critical part of my success in giving an all natural birth and the journey leading up to birth. She was extremely knowledgeable around all details regarding my body, dads needs, options when it comes to induction methods/labor techniques/hospital info and so much more.
