Services

  • Birth Doula

    As your birth doula, I work to empower my clients so they can have the birth experience they envision. I will guide you to learn all you need to know to make the right birth-journey choices for your family. I will provide you with evidence-based tools and techniques, so we can craft a birth plan personalized to meet your family’s needs and values. You will learn to trust your own inner voice, so you can advocate for your birthing decisions.

    This is the birth of your baby and your family. I’m here to hold space for you with an open heart, and walk with you on your birth journey, helping ensure your path to parenthood follows your vision.

  • Postpartum Doula

    As your Postpartum Doula, I believe parents know in their hearts what is best for their family; I simply hold an open-hearted space for you to listen to and trust your intuition. When things don’t go as expected – as they sometimes won’t – I will help you recalibrate, guiding you toward a different parenting approach.

    Your family is changing, and it’s natural to need a little extra help. If you’re feeling overwhelmed with taking care of your newborn or just want an extra pair of hands to tackle daily tasks, I’m here to offer kind and unconditional support.

  • Wholistic Wellness

    I am passionate about health and helping you find your voice while finding balance. I will partner with you and will be your biggest cheerleader and advocate while you take charge of your health journey, helping you to get curious about your health and wellness on all levels - physical, mental and emotional, helping you ask the important questions and make informed decisions as you embrace change.

    With you in the driver's seat of your health journey, you will be an informed, confident active collaborator in the decision making process, you will learn to trust your intuition and you will gain your power.

Testimonials

It’s hard to write a review for someone who played a significant role in your life! Michelle was my support, friend, guide, and sister through my life’s biggest journey. Her support went beyond the hours of labor where she provided comfort and natural pain relief. She was with me every step of the way: checking in after every appointment, guiding me through a birth plan, and giving me the strength to make medical decisions based on informed consent. She was a huge support to my husband, and helped us to make the postpartum transition to parenthood. Michelle is more than a doula, to us, she’s become family. -JB
