Testimonial for Marissa Hathaway, MPH, CD(DONA), CBE
From the first time I “met” Marissa for a consultation virtually, I knew she was who I wanted to work with. She has a calm demeanor, a wealth of knowledge and really knows how to provide support and guidance. I instantly felt comfortable with her. She really helped my husband and I navigate our way through preparing for my first birth and baby and having a “plan” but being open to the fact that even the best plans don’t always play out they way we expect/want them to. We went into labor and delivery with the goal of healthy baby and healthy mom, and the hopes that it would go the way we ultimately desired but the understanding of being open to alternatives. From prepping the birth plan/wishes to helping us understand our options and alternatives, as well as advocating for all of that, Marissa made it all seem less daunting. When it was finally time for labor and delivery, Marissa was an incredible support to myself and my husband. She helped us navigate through all of the challenges/changes along the way. When I had a less than favorable reaction to a medication, she helped me from slipping into a full blown panic attack. She provided physical and emotional support working through my contractions, help deciding on next steps m, and made sure I felt validated and supported through the whole process- and it was a long process haha It was truly amazing because it felt like we’d known Marissa for a long time and not just a couple of months. I am so incredibly thankful to have had Marissa there for the birth of our son, and the support she has provided pre and post-partum. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
