gentle journeys

"As first time parents, we were both excited and nervous. Having Michelle as our doula was one of the best decisions we made in creating a positive birth experience. She was supportive and imparted information quickly and without judgment. This came in extremely helpful as our baby was 'overdue' by 10 days and we had to navigate whether we wanted to induce or not. Ultimately, Michelle assisted us in feeling comfortable with making our own decision and we are so happy that baby arrived safe and sound on her own schedule! Michelle's presence at our birth calmed my partner's fears and her phone + email support postpartum have been an essential piece to our transition into parenthood. Thank you Michelle!"

"Thanks a million to you for all the support you gave me during my labor journey.  I feel it was a huge factor to not only my ability to have a pain medication-free labor, but also to increase tolerability.  I also sensed that everybody (you, Andrea and Brian - oh yeah, and me!) worked as a team very well together."
