Certifications & Credentials

*Licensed and Insured

"I had the luxury of having Michelle as my ​doula during my second pregnancy. This was ​my first time having a doula and I wanted to ​have one because I did not want to use pain ​medications and wanted a some to guide me ​through the laboring process.

I had 4 prenatal and 3 post-partum visits. I ​was a little anxious and unsure of what to ​expect, but all of my concerns disappeared ​once I began working with Michelle. For me, ​she embodies all of the qualities of an ​exceptional doula.

During my perinatal visits, we discussed my ​expectations and wishes for my birth through ​an intake process and developed a birth plan. ​We practiced laboring positions and explored ​a variety of pain-relieving techniques that I ​would be comfortable with such as TENS, ​aromatherapy, massages, affirmations, etc. I ​especially valued the fact that she taught my ​husband how to support me and assist me ​throughout labor during our perinatal visits. ​This was crucial for me since I wanted my ​husband to be actively involved in the birth. ​We also discussed the difference between ​pain vs. suffering and being proactive in ​voicing my concerns. When I was stressing ​about being induced because I was past my ​due date, she came over and had me do ​some mindful meditation and relaxation. I ​went into labor 2 days later! My goal during ​my birth was to not take pain medication, in ​particularly an epidural. I am happy to report ​that I succeeded. During my 17 hours of labor, ​she was calming and provided continuous ​support, while also providing hands-on ​support and comfort measures.

Michelle also coached my husband during the ​labor provide to meet my needs. In order to ​help me, she collaborated successfully with ​my labor and delivery nurses and worked with ​them as a team. Throughout my labor, ​Michelle's gentle maternal spirit by my side ​me feel nurtured and protected. I truly believe ​that my wishes would have not materialized if ​not for her.

More importantly, Michelle supported me ​throughout my postpartum period as well. She ​helped by assisting with my newborn ​daughter, organizing my house, watching over ​my son, folding laundry, among other things. ​But an even greater gift was she also gave me ​advice on how to safeguard my mental ​health. As someone who suffered from ​postpartum depression, it was comforting to ​know that she cared. I could go on and on ​about how grateful I am to have had Michelle ​as my doula but that would take ages.

All in all she provided me with so much more ​to my birth experience than I could have ever ​imagined. She embodies the traits that will ​help all expecting mothers to have all of the ​spiritual, physical, and emotional support for a ​successful delivery. I could not have asked for ​a more perfect doula."

- M.A.

“During pregnancy, I was well equipped with a ​lot of helpful resources, and the conversation ​around the type of birth I wanted was able to ​be communicated effectively. I felt listened to ​and I felt reassured by Michelle's knowledge.

During birth, Michelle advocated for me and ​my wishes. She also provided helpful ​suggestions to my birthing position while ​respecting what was working for my body.

In postpartum, Michelle checked on my ​wellbeing often, and reassured me I'm the best ​mother for the child we were blessed with. The ​most outstanding parts of this whole process ​was after birth, even though there were others ​in the room, Michelle and I had a private ​moment where she put a hand on my heart ​and womb and invited me to express ​gratitude for what my body just did, as well as ​asking me to be introspective about the ​feelings associated with my birth and how ​things are going for me in the postpartum ​period.

I felt so accommodated and informed by ​Michelle's expertise. I also appreciate her ​flexibility and the way she catered to my crazy ​schedule. If our family is blessed with another ​bundle of joy, I would be honored to hire ​Michelle as my Doula again!”

- L.R.

“I was on the way to a repeat experience with ​postpartum depression until I hired Michelle. ​She brought me back and made this ​postpartum what it always should be.

She took me from barely surviving to thriving ​and helped me become more capable than I ​ever thought I could be. She fit right in with my ​family and helped us all. I recommend her to ​every pregnant person that wants to emerge ​from the difficulty of postpartum happy and ​whole.

Seriously, forget all the baby gear. A ​postpartum doula is infinitely more valuable ​and Michelle is an amazing one.!”
