Testimonials

“Megan brought her great sense of humor, some lovely comfort measures, and the music! She was there for my entire induction and birth, so I really couldn’t have asked for more!”

“Generally, she gave advice to my husband about how to care for me. She massaged my back together with my husband. She helped us make decisions such as when to go to the hospital and whether to get an epidural (which I did not get). I really liked that she was informative in her advice but let us take our own decisions.”

“Megan was supportive in every regard. She rocks. We couldn’t have done it without her.”
