What parents say
Merrell has truly become family to us. From the moment we moved to Ocala, I searched high and low for a midwife who I knew in my soul would be right for us. The second Merrell took our call, I knew she was the one. She has honored our laundry list of wishes during pregnancy, birth and postpartum.
Midwife Merrell and birth assistant Pam are quite the team! I delivered my first with them last May. My little guy inhaled meconium on the way out and they worked tirelessly to keep him stable until the ambulance arrived. We did not expect them to follow us to the hospital, but they both came!
Absolutely love Merrell, and any of her students/ help I have met! I got with Merrell around 28 weeks pregnant, due to life circumstances I was unable to get prenatal care prior. She took me on as her patient and has been nothing but amazing! The cost/documents were made perfectly clear, and I’m due anytime now!
Merrell delivered my daughter about a year ago before opening her birth center. Thanks to her this first time mama felt brave and confident enough to have my baby naturally. She has been incredible since my very first conversation with her.
