Testimonial for Melissa Espey-Mueller
I was fortunate to find Melissa. She offered support and comfort before I went into labor and eased my worries about the labor. She was able to offer several classes during my pregnancy as well as introduced me to great people that helped prepare my body for the task. I am going to be honest I was skeptical at first because how can this lady that I just met be willing to protect my interests during the biggest event of my life, but behold, she was my voice. Once I went into labor Melissa was there from the very beginning, coaching and guideing me so that with every contraction my body progressed. I can write a book on how in love I am with her so let me just bullet point some highlights.
- She was honest
- She protected my rights, wants, body and soul
- Her voice was the only voice I could stand to hear
- Her hands where the only hands I could stand to feel on me
- She never looked at me like I was helpless
- She was firm but kind, strong but gentle
- She protected what I wanted for my birth story reminding me of what the goal was
- Most importantly, when my baby was born and the had to take her away to aspirate her and my husband and mom rushed to be with baby and just let me alone, Melissa was there holding my hand, telling me what a great job I had done. This is my most vivid memory, she held my hand thru afterbirth, thru the stitching, all along updateing me on what was happening to me and to baby. I just remember looking at her and saying I did it, and she so lovingly smiled and huged me like thus was her first delivery. That meant the world to me. I cant wait to have another baby with her.
- Btw I had a natural delivery all thanks to her, no way I could of done it without her.
