Testimonial for Michele Peterson
Michelle has been by our side for both of our children's births—first for our son, and most recently for our daughter. Having her as our doula both times was the best decision we could have made.
One of the things I appreciate most about Michelle is the way she supports your decision-making. During the last trimester, when I received conflicting advice from two doctors, Michelle offered evidence-based information and walked me through the tradeoffs with care and thoughtfulness. She always made space for questions and respected my values while helping me feel truly informed.
Her support during labor, for both births, truly made all the difference to me. She is a calming, grounded presence who helped me feel seen, heard, and supported the entire time. During both births, my babies experience a drop in heart rate following contractions. Michele was amazing at helping me move in diffferent positions to mitigate this and I am convinced that I would have required a c-section without her hands-on approach!
Michelle brings a rare combination of warmth, professionalism, and deep knowledge. She has become such an important part of our family's birth stories, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly exceptional doula.
