From the bottom of our hearts, we cannot thank you enough for all of your help this past weekend as we brought R into this world. Your knowledge combined with your steadfast support single-handedly created the most positive birth experience we could have imagined. Thank you for advocating for me, supporting both of us and believing in me, especially in the moments I stopped believing in myself. You are truly a gift to have in the birth space and we have you to thank for the happiness we get to feel when we look back on the day R was born. -AC

I felt safe from the moment Michelle arrived. I was in labor, and as contractions came she rubbed my back and helped me breathe. When things got intense, she knew just what to do. Her calm and reassuring presence was so steady and helpful for both of us. My husband was able to gather the things, drive the car, get us to the hospital, and be right with me during the labor while Michelle supported us both. As my baby was born, we were all triumphant together. I had such a positive, empowering birth experience and I am certain that Michelle was instrumental in this outcome. If you are looking for a doula, hire her! We were so lucky to find her. We are continuing to work with Michelle in the post-partum and she has been so supportive to our new little family during this huge life change. She helped teach me how to care for my baby, from her first bath to learning how to burp her. The love and care that she has given us is such a gift. We will be appreciative for the rest of our lives. -AD

I can’t express how much I appreciate Michelle and the help that she was during the process of my pregnancy and the birth of our daughter. Due to some unexpected events, our birth plan had a couple curve balls thrown at us, but yet so much of our birth plan was successful and both my husband and I feel it had a lot to do with the help of Michelle. Michelle encouraged me, helped me stay focused, and kept reminding me my body was made to give birth naturally just like I wanted. She walked up and down the halls with me, she massaged me, she gave me words of encouragement and so much more. The thing I will never forget about Michelle and will always be so grateful towards her is how she helped me refocus and breath through every contraction when I "thought" I wanted to give up. When I lost focus, she got right in front of my face and told me to breath WITH her and boy what a difference it was when I was focused and breathing. There are so many things that you don't think of during labor that having Michelle be there and helping remind us on even the smallest details like making sure both my husband and I were hydrated was very important but something that would have been easily missed if it weren't for her help. Her support was so great to both my husband and I, that I can’t imagine going through future pregnancies without a doula. -NT

Michelle was such a joy and help to us as we transitioned from a family of 3 to 4! I only learned about postpartum doulas while pregnant with our second, but I sure wish I had known with our first too. Between helping care for the kids, housework, laundry and/or meal prep our home went from feeling chaotic to calm whenever she was here.

One of the main reasons we looked into postpartum support was so we could still give individual attention to our toddler, either from us or someone else, but we were nervous since she’s very timid around new comers. But Michelle is such a sweet and caring individual with a real gift for connecting with kids, our daughter quickly opened up to her on the very first day and eagerly awaited the days Michelle would come over.

We trusted her wholeheartedly to care for our girls while I rested, showered or had one-on-one time with either child. I would recommend Michelle to anyone looking for postpartum support, but fair warning, your family will fall in love with her and you’ll never want her to leave! -CP

Our pregnancy was anything but ordinary we were high risk due to previous premature birth and we had lost two of our triplets which I carried to term. Having a doula was a must for the level of support we needed but we never expected the experience to be like this. Michelle has been a voice of reason for my anxious mind, an encouragement when felt like I couldn’t do this, she has helped support my husband through the birth and his post- partum, and she even made a bunch of pancakes and froze them which I didn’t even know I needed but I did. She is truly a special person and I hope for our future children she will be available because I don’t think I could do this with anyone else or without her. She is such a kind, sensitive soul and I’m grateful to know her. She offers postpartum doula services as well and is so helpful whether it’s holding the baby so you can sleep, washing some dishes or helping with older siblings she does it all with love and a smile. i can’t say enough about how amazing she it. During birth she was supportive even when I decided to get the epidural. I felt like a failure and a wimp for doing it but she kept encouraging me and reminding me how strong and powerful I am. She also was able to inform me of different options I had for positions, etc while utilizing the epidural. She was supportive of all my choices and helped me find the information I needed. There is a system she wrote down for my husband on an index card that I will use from now on for many situations. It is truly amazing and has help me make the choices that best suit me and my family with confidence. Now I could share that but I’m going to keep it to myself. You’ll just have to hire her to find out! But to conclude my rambling as I’m trapped under my one year old and newborn Michelle is a very special lady and she will give you her whole heart while working with you to bring your beautiful baby into this world. -RC
