Testimonial for Marissa Hathaway, MPH, CD(DONA), CBE
Marissa was our birth doula and we couldn’t recommend her enough. We first met Marissa when we were about half way through the pregnancy. During our first conversation she gave us some great advice about our delivery expectations and really validated a lot of my feeling surrounding my pregnancy.
After our initial conversation Marissa was a voice of reason for us and was able to give us some of the best advice we received during our journey. We met with her twice to go over our ideal birth experience. She was gave us the honest truth and was able to clearly explain a lot of common decisions that need to be made during labor. In addition to our conversations, Marissa was always available via text or for a quick chat. She also checked in on us as we got closer to our due date. Between the check-ins and quick chats, we felt incredibly supported with our plan. She helped us through a lot of tough decisions and made us feel confidence with whatever we choose to do.
When it came time to deliver our beautiful baby, Marissa was right there with us. I had a tougher immediate postpartum experience than I expected and Marissa sat by my side while my husband and baby were in the nursery. She talked through what had happened with me and helped me process everything. I will be forever grateful for all the encouragement, support and advice Marissa provided us. I couldn’t imagine the birth without her and will be forever grateful that she was our doula.
