I can't recommend Marissa and her services enough. Her calm and supportive presence during the birth of my daughter made all the difference in a smooth, beautiful, and sacred experience. I had originally planned on not hiring a doula, but as my due date grew closer, I decided that I wanted another person in the hospital with me. This was both my husband and I's first child, and we were both nervous.
I connected with Marissa through Ancient Song when I was 38 weeks pregnant. I'm glad I didn't wait any longer as I went into labor at 39 weeks. What was supposed to be our consultation call, ended up being in active labor. Even though up until this, we had only emailed, I felt instantly connected to and supported by Marissa. She was in New Jersey at the time, and stayed in contact with me during contractions, and made it to the hospital shortly after I did and continued her calm and loving support during and after birth.
Marissa is a goddess, and three months postpartum it feels like I've known her forever. I enjoy every conversation and visit. I'm so glad that our paths crossed and hope that she's part of my future births and family.
