Testimonial for Melissa Espey-Mueller
This post is so long overdue and I'll never be able to find the right words to fully explain how grateful I am to have had Melissa's support during both births of my children. If you have a wink of anxiety surrounding birth, you need Melissa and her incredible team of resources to love you into your new role of motherhood.
She truly does mother mothers. Melissa’s knowledge and evidence-based approach to birth are second to none. Her presence calmed me instantly in both of my children’s arrival earth-side. Without Melissa, I do not think I could have had the unmedicated, powerful, and life-altering birth experiences that I had. I feel so blessed to have had her unwavering support and encouragement through two pregnancies.
My husband was skeptical at first, and now he is the greatest champion for having doula support through pregnancy and birth. We often joke that we could have a baby in a field - just as long as Melissa was there! We treasure her to the core!
From educational courses, to gently answering all of my random text messages, to teaching me to be more aware of all medical options in complicated circumstances, Melissa was my personal lighthouse of guidance.
Labor is a whirlwind. In all of the happenings in the delivery room, her voice was the only thing that could get through to me and nothing else mattered. In a room full of movement, I was able to stay focused and only remember her voice. Thanks to her presence, calming demeanor, and steadfastness I felt so much more equipped and empowered for both births. MELISSA IS A FORCE! To know her is to love her!
