Attends hospital births? All Hospitals
Experience attending medicated and unmedicated births in hospitals with OBs and midwives. Additional experience supporting planned cesareans. Hospitals I serve include: Evanston Hospital, Highland Park Hospital, Northwestern Prentice, Rush Hospital, Illinois Masonic, West Suburban, and more. Review from hospital birth client: "Michelle is an *incredible* doula. She worked with me for my baby who arrived [August 2023] and I can’t recommend her more. She was so informative about everything from pregnancy to labor to postpartum - and I had so many questions! She was also really thoughtful and intuitive about what I (and my family) specifically needed. She pointed me to outside resources whenever I needed them. She was a warm and constant presence throughout a long labor. And her overall vibe is one of care and consistency, which built so much trust. My baby is doing amazing and I got to have the birth I hoped for with her gentle guidance and insight." - Elizabeth F., Birth Client

Attends birth center births? All Birth Centers
Experience attending births at The Birth Center of Chicago. Also serve Burr Ridge Birth Center. Review from birth center client: "We connected with Michelle at a birth center class. We had a few meetings before birth and she helped with getting my birth plan in order, listened and learned exactly how and what I wanted during labor and birth, and gave continuous support up until, through and even after birth! I had such an amazing experience and we definitely appreciated the extra support, words of encouragement, and the helping hand. I really wanted pictures during labor and birth with a video of baby’s first cry. Michelle made sure to capture those things, allowing my partner to be 100% present for me and baby and not having to focus on capturing those things. We will definitely be using Michelle for all future pregnancies and births. I highly recommend Michelle for your Doula Services!!!" - Taylor E., Birth Center Client
