Testimonial for Jesse Waller, PD, PPD, CILFS, LMT (she/they)
I haven't even started typing and I'm already crying with gratitude thinking about how much of a difference Jesse made in my birth experience. I will forever remember Jesse's voice during my labor- so genuinely caring, present, and reassuring. Exactly what is needed at every moment. It is a vulnerable experience to rely on someone so heavily. Jesse made me so comfortable however, that I found it easy to need her, which is my greatest challenge in birth. I can confidently say I would not have had the home birth I wanted without her.
From our very first meeting, Jesse was able to intuit my feelings about my first birth that I had never even admitted to myself. I processed more in 10 minutes than I had in 3 years because of her gentle guidance and strong instinct. She is so skilled in her work and has such a strong education in supporting pregnancy and birth, but her greatest gift is something deeper- something I don’t think can be taught.
Jesse affirmed my feelings and experience every step of the way. She empowered me to pursue my redemption birth, instilled confidence in me throughout pregnancy, and brought joy to my family. My 3 year old has never gravitated to someone as quickly as she did with Jesse, which made it easy to have my daughter present at the birth. That is one of the greatest gifts I’ve been given.
