Testimonial for Jesse Waller, PD, PPD, CILFS, LMT (she/they)

Having Jesse be a part of our support team was the single best decision we made during our pregnancy. From the moment we had our interview with her, we knew that she was the perfect fit for us. Her evidence-based approach to birth, unbiased and non-judgemental guidance (we had a medicated/hospital birth), pro-science, calm but strong demeanor, and kindness were unparalleled. 

I had a traumatic start to my pregnancy, along with HG all pregnancy where I was incredibly sick. Jesse knew this and did everything she could leading up to and at the hospital to inform us to make sure the hospital environment didn't feel like a hospital environment and carry that trauma. From helping us think through our birth preferences ahead of time to ensure we were able to make informed decisions, to talking us through the "what if" scenarios that could happen so that we were prepared, we went into labor as first time parents feeling as prepared as we could be. 

The night I went into labor she was available to provide guidance (in the middle of the night multiple times) on comfort measures and supported us when we felt it was time to go into the hospital. When we got admitted she got there as soon as she could and in the hospital her unwavering support made for an extremely smooth birth experience, and I know that even if our birth experience hadn't been smooth she would have helped us work through it. During labor Jesse was both a calming presence and an advocate for us, serving as a sounding board, partner, reminding us that we can take time to think through decisions. 

In the days and weeks after birth she has been just as present, only a text or phone call away, helping us through the challenges of having an infant with jaundice and low birth weight. We are so grateful to have had Jesse as part of our birth team, and as a continued support as we work through the challenges of being first time parents.
