Testimonials
“Melinda supported my husband and I in the lead up to and during the birth of our second child. She was very calm, organised, warm and supportive during what was a very speedy labour for me of 3 hours. Thanks to her it did not feel chaotic and it was a great support for my husband to work together with Melinda during the labour. My toddler who met her a few times before the birth also took to Melinda instantly which was great as it was comforting for her to see Melinda on the day of the birth.”

“Melinda is a rare find doula. I was not lucky to find her for my birth but she helped us in post-natal period. She has a character that you won't forget easily. She's knowledgable, professional, kind, super patient and very good with babies. We learned a lot from her during her visits even though I slept most of the time that she was here, it's so easy to trust her and turn off your parental responsibilities when she's there.
She was introduced to me by 2 of my friends, that had used her services and called her a God sent!”
Meadow Doyen
‘‘In the last stage of my pregnancy, and during the sensitive postnatal period with saturated emotions and physical pain, the support and understanding I received from Melinda was a strong crutch for me. Her words of encouragement and support reassured me, and I was able to draw strength from her words. I look back fondly on her caring presence, as every little help that I got, helped me to adapt as easily as possible to this new life situation, the biggest change of my life so far.’’
Eszter Marton
“After talking to Melinda, I managed to turn my fear of childbirth into curiosity and anticipation. She also sent us great materials on the processes of labor, which was useful and great guidance. Most importantly, she has highlighted that the few hours I’m afraid of are a natural process where my body is working on birthing my baby and that each contraction is bringing me closer to meeting her. This thought helped me a lot throughout my labor.”

“Melinda is very hands-on, responsible, knowledgeable and friendly. Being a first time mum, I was nervous about someone else looking after my baby. Melinda put all my worries at ease and it was an absolute pleasure working with her! Highly recommended!’’
