Testimonial for Marissa Hathaway, MPH, CD(DONA), CBE
We had the privilege of having Marissa as our doula throughout the journey of welcoming our son into the world, and we cannot express enough gratitude for her invaluable support. From our initial meetings to the postpartum period, Marissa's warmth, expertise, and unwavering dedication made all the difference for my husband and me.
During our prenatal visits, Marissa took the time to truly understand our hopes, fears, and preferences, creating a tailored birth plan that reflected our wishes while also offering insightful guidance. Her calming presence and wealth of knowledge provided us with much-needed reassurance and confidence as first-time parents.
When the big day arrived, Marissa was a rock of support, both emotionally and physically. Her calming presence and encouragement helped ease the intensity of experience, while her expertise and support provided invaluable relief especially when things didn’t go as “planned.” She helped us stay grounded, present, and even laughing through the whole process. Having Marissa with us helped my husband and I feel empowered and confident through the birthing process.
Even after our son was born, Marissa continued to be a source of support and guidance during the postpartum period. Whether offering breastfeeding advice, emotional support, or simply lending a listening ear, Marissa's genuine care and compassion made the transition to parenthood smoother and more manageable.
We are forever grateful for Marissa’s unwavering support, expertise, and compassion. She played an integral part in our birthing experience, and I cannot recommend her services highly enough to expecting parents seeking a knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated birth companion. Thank you, Marissa, for being an invaluable part of our journey to parenthood.
