Testimonial for Marissa Hathaway, MPH, CD(DONA), CBE
Marissa was the piece we didn’t know we were missing to make Emma’s arrival as smooth as possible. We hired Marissa a month before my due date and hired her after our initial call because I felt heard and super informed after our chat. She was incredibly prepared for our meetings with visual aids, information, and even gave us homework to help us. I felt comfortable enough to choose an unmedicated natural delivery because I had Marissa on my team. However, the week of my due date a c-section was recommended. At that point I felt that I wouldn’t be able to benefit from Marissa’s services and thought of asking her not to come to the hospital. But I am glad I did ask her come. Marissa sat with us in the hospital while I was prepared for the OR and anesthesia. She advocated for me with my medical staff and helped my husband and feel informed through every step and also distracted us a little with lots of laughter. She encouraged me and helped me feel prepared not only for the procedure but also to receive my daughter. Post delivery, Marissa has helped us connect with other professionals in the area to help us with Emma’s development. Would 100% recommend her services.
