Testimonial for Jesse Waller, PD, PPD, CILFS, LMT (she/they)
We were so very lucky to have Jesse step in last minute as a backup doula! She and our initial doula Melanie worked seamlessly together to ensure that we were covered for every minute of our labor. Jesse is an incredibly kind person and we're just so grateful to have a bonus doula of her caliber. In addition to being the most calming presence in the room, Jesse went out of her way to massage me for literally four hours straight during active labor -- truly, I fell asleep, woke back up, and she was still massaging! She had the exact right kind of energy for the calm and beautiful birth I wanted, and coached me every step of the way, helping me get out of my head and into my body through deep breathing. I seriously could not have done it without her. (Bonus: She asked if we wanted pictures, and took the most gorgeous birth photos, all while doula-ing away!) I don't know how she's so magical, but we love her oh so much and we're so lucky to have her as part of the family now.
