Testimonial for Melissa Espey-Mueller
My experience with Melissa was truly amazing. She carefully listened to my birth experience wishes and helped me narrow down my rambling, pregnancy-brain ideas and concerns into a coherent plan. She provided me with evidence-based suggestions for improving my birth experience without pressuring me to choose one path over another. I ultimately had to be induced at 41 weeks and 4 days, and despite having two client inductions on the same day, Melissa still made feel like I was her number one priority when she joined me in the hospital room. When my plan for an unmedicated birth completely changed after an hour and a half of back labor post-induction, Melissa worked Closely with the doctor and nurses to help ensure my labor progressed comfortably and safely. After my son was born, she immediately helped with breastfeeding both at the hospital and the week after by phone. Though it may seem small, after I was finally able to eat again but couldn’t think of where to send my mom to pick up food, she kindly gave us a list of suggestions so I didn’t have to make a decision in the craziness post-delivery. I am so grateful to Melissa and her team. No matter what your birth plan/goals are, they will provide support and a listening ear in a completely non-judgmental setting. I would highly recommend Melissa to anyone seeking a Doula.
