Testimonial for Melissa Espey-Mueller
I first met Melissa in 2005 when I was pregnant with my first child. She was my birth instructor and taught me so much about giving birth and caring for my son. I ended up with a c-section after a breech baby, but she was always my go-to and was there immediately after he was born in recovery to help assist with breastfeeding. Years later when I decided to have another, I contacted her and told her I wanted her wtih me for a VBAC. After finding out that my son was breech like the first and the cord was around his neck, she told me about the gentle c-section. I was so excited to know that I could still hold my newborn in my arms as soon as he was safe earthside. She informed my doctor and the nurses what they needed to do to make this a family-centered birth and they were extremely open to everything she suggested. She was AMAZING. I was my doctor's first gentle c-section and I was honored. She made it truly special and I feel so blessed to have had her with us. Again, she was there when I nursed him and has been so helpful with different questions since birth. I can't say enough amazing things about Melissa and NDDA. She truly cares about every single family and loves what she does.
