If I could give Merelee (Jessica) Beck more stars I would! Don't hesistate to hire her, just do it! She is an incredible traditional midwife and I was so fortunate to have her as my midwife as a first time mom. Not only does Merelee (Jessica) Beck have the experience and training as a midwife, but as a mother of 8 she has a plethora of experience and knowledge to support your entire journey of pregnancy, birth and motherhood. She is calm yet confident and so so so professional through the whole process while making it feel like she's your best friend at the time same. I will truly miss all my prenatal and post-birth visits with her but am so happy to have chosen her as a midwife. Skilled, experienced, professional, knowledgable, friendly and a pleasure to work with. What more could you ask for?!? Hire her!

INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE! I was completely lost on who to turn to next after my midwife dropped me because I was vegan and she was overwhelmed by all of my questions, not taking good notes and completely absent-minded. Then I found Jessica (Merelee) Beck in my 32nd week of pregnancy through the grapevine after interviewing so many midwifes in this midnight hour into my pregnancy. Jessica was so supportive, calm, professional, educated, gritty, organized and simply cool! She made me feel instantly relaxed and I melted into her couch the moment I met her in person at her office. She worked with everyone on my birthing team, set realistic expectations, allowed me to plan my birth while guiding me on realities and I ended up with the most incredible experience as a first time "advanced maternal aged" mother with only 8 hours of labor and 28 minutes of pushing and a healthy baby girl to show for it! No taring! No traumas! Completely divine and incredible experience. If you find yourself reading this and you are in a pinch, be reassured that Jes is the midwife that will see you and your family through to success. While things can happen in birth, Jessica has the guts, the courage and the experience to guide you and your family through this experience and along the journey of birth.
