I can't say enough about how great Michelle was - it's honestly hard to put into words but when I think of what kind of support she provided with it brings tears to my eyes. I couldn't have asked for better - I felt so cared for and loved and just nurtured in every way possible. I truly miss Michelle and that going through that process with her - when I have another baby I will definitely be calling back! I am actually a little sad that I am not pregnant anymore and don't have a reason to hire her lol! 
Even after delivery Michelle's postpartum Doula support got me through some really hard and difficult times - and the support she also provided my husband was amazing.

It's so hard to articulate but I am forever grateful for the services Michelle provided my family with and anyone that has the pleasure of working with her will instantly fall in love with her presence.

Michelle provided an excellence service from beginning to end. When my partner and I initially met Michelle she asked a lot of great, sometimes challenging, questions. This really helped us prepare for our baby and made sure that she and us were a fit in order to build the trust needed when it came to the birth. When making decisions regarding the delivery and care of our newborn, Michelle provided us with many resources to aid us in making informed decisions. She was very knowledgeable; she was an invaluable resource throughout my pregnancy, labor and post-partum. Michelle went the extra mile in being very responsive and providing support at all hours of the day to both my spouse and me during my unexpected and early labor; and was there for my emergency C-section. Michelle resolutely stayed by my side during surgery and recovery enabling my spouse to go with our new baby to the NICU. Post-partum, Michelle continued to be an excellence source of support as she checked in on us regularly through text or in person. Michelle was there as ­much as we needed her and gave us space with our new little one when that was what we wanted. Michelle was not only a great advocate, but also an ally in an unfamiliar setting. Despite our pregnancy journey not going according to plan, as I hear they rarely do, Michelle reduced our stress and helped make the entire process a positive experience.

Our experience with Michelle as our doula was absolutely extraordinary. We started our journey with her the second that we found out we were expecting. We found that having her be apart of my entire pregnancy was so incredibly beneficial. She is a wealth of knowledge, and was able to direct us to many different care providers for pain that I was having due to pregnancy, she educated me on the choices I had as a mother, and was the perfect person that my family wanted in our home with us while we delivered our second baby. Michelle goes above and beyond for her clients and I believe that every expecting mom should seek out a doula with Michelle's love for her job.  Thank you for the everything Michelle, we adore you.

Michelle has a really easy going personality and is easy to make a connection with. She is clearly passionate about what she does and eager to learn more. You can really feel that she puts her whole heart into her work.
I hired Michelle for the birth of my second child. My first child was born in hospital via emergency C-section. This experience left me with emotional trauma and anxiety around labour. After hiring michelle I decided that a planned C-section was best for me. She did an amazing job of making me feel empowered about my decision.
Michelle equipped me with the information I needed to confidently speak to my doctors and make sure my needs were met. She helped me to build a birth plan tailored to me and informed me of options I didn't know I had.
Michelle was an amazing support throughout my pregnancy and birth. She was compassionate engaged and checked in with me regularly during the whole process. Because of Michelles support my c-section experience was a positive one. I cannot thank her enough for the gift of her support. I would highly recommend her as a doula and lookforward to hiring her in the future.

From the very moment I met Michelle,I felt at ease and as if I were meeting a long time friend for coffee! Michelle asked me questions that made me aware of so many important components and options in the birth process, as well as answered every single one of my questions more  thoroughly than I ever could’ve asked for.  She asked about my preferences, offered supports in preparation for my birth experience, and most importantly communicated with me almost every day leading up to the birth.  She made herself available for any questions I had day or night. This made me feel incredibly supported and as if I had an extremely knowledgeable ally on my side. Because of Michelle‘s insight, calm demeanor, support, and positive energy, I felt almost no nerves leading up to the birth. I felt incredibly prepared and more so, excited! On the day I went into labour (early),  Michelle came over in a flash and, throughout the entire evening  through to the next morning and following evening, I laboured with Michelle by my side.  Michelle made the experience so calm, and enjoyable. She supported me emotionally and physically as well as provided tons of techniques and that calm, knowledgeable, positive demeanor throughout. What I especially loved was that Michelle, throughout the entire labor process, including at the hospital, ensured I knew what was going on every step of the way. This made me feel at ease, and powerful throughout the entire experience! My decision to choose Michelle as my Doula was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. She is the best choice, and should be the first choice of anybody embarking on this journey. I couldn’t imagine going through this process without Michelle by my side!

Michelle was so amazing during my labour experience. She made sure my wishes were heard for my birthing experience as well as she was an amazing coach. Definitely super glad I decided to choose her for this experience. I can not say enough about her.
