I worked with Michelle at Birth Ease before the birth of my son. We had 12 hours of one-on-one time together, going over all things pregnancy and birth related. Michelle is a calm and kind soul and she also provided doula services to me during the birth of my son. Also had Michelle provide me with placenta encapsulation services and she was so timely in getting the tablets made and delivered to my home. Throughout the years, Michelle has become a trusted ally in my parenting and pregnancies and I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone in this chapter of life.

Michelle was great! We did our sessions virtually since I do not live in the same city. Her hypnosis techniques definitely helped throughout my pregnancy and during labor, and she was very helpful when we had questions. 100% recommend!!!

I used Michelle for Hypnobirthing during my first pregnancy and she was my doula for my second birth. She was absolutely amazing for both. The level of knowledge and support that she provides is remarkable.

Michelle Smith is among the most experienced and well educated doulas in the country. She is a master hypnotist. She has honed her knowledge and skills over the last 20 years to a level that is unmatched. She has a heart of gold. Her soft spoken demeanor is the right fit for anyone approaching childbirth. She  includes so much more in her sessions with a client than just childbirth knowledge. She takes the time to help you process your deepest hopes, fears, concerns and curiosities.

Michelle is overly generous with her time. She never rushes you. She becomes someone you trust whole heartedly so that when birth arrives, you know you have a person you can trust quite literally by your side.

Michelle is also extremely knowledgable and well versed in many, many tangential fields related to childbirth including trauma sensitive care, pelvic floor strength and benefits, acupuncture, chiropractic care, facility and medical professional recommendations for positive birth experiences, and so much more. Michelle’s wealth of knowledge helps you process your journey in a way that is not only memorable but also an experience you will look back and cherish.

Michelle is a true gift to the Orlando community and beyond. She helped me prepare for my first birth experience in person and recently helped me prepare for my second experience with complete love, attention and effectiveness from half way across the county done completely via personalized zoom, online resources, text messaging and phone calls during covid.

I recommend Michelle Smith to anyone approaching their first birth experience to their fifth or sixth. She will remain in your heart not just as a doula and confident, but as a close and treasured friend.

Michelle was such a comfort and wealth of knowledge throughout my pregnancy, as well as during my postpartum experience. When my birth plan changed quickly, she was there to explain all of my options and help me to better understand what the doctor was explaining. She also helped to make my active labor progress with the different birthing positions she gently suggested. She truly made my birth experience a magical and deeply connected one.
