Testimonial for Victoria Michonski CD, HCHI, CLC

I give my highest recommendation to Victoria. Victoria was amazing during the entire process. She met with both Amy and I at our home and was always 100% focused on our wants/needs and what would make the birth process most relaxing and comfortable for BOTH of us. When the big day arrived, Victoria showed up in a HUGE way. Without Victoria's intimate and hands-on help, the birth of our son wouldn't have been an enjoyable experience. My number one recommendation for any expecting Moms/Dads is to work with a Doula and if possible, work with Victoria. The stories about modern hospitals simply treating you like a "number" and on their schedule is absolutely correct. However, Victoria showed up at the hospital and immediately transformed the labor process into the experience WE wanted. Victoria knew all the "ins and outs" of the process, the hospital and techniques to make both of us most comfortable. I tell people that Victoria really delivered our baby and the doctor/nurses were just observers. She made both of us feel like we were in control and was so inspirational throughout the entire labor - as a result, we did a natural labor with no need for drugs, etc. and both my partner and the baby are doing great. We would not have been able to do it without Victoria - she is absolutely the best. Not only does she listen to what you need/want, but she connects with you on a personal level so you feel like she is part of the family. Also, she has such great experience and "know-how" that can't be replicated. We loved working with Victoria so much that we requested her to help us with postpartum. If you have not had the opportunity to meet and talk with Victoria, I highly recommend you do so; you will be so happy and thankful that you did - we cannot say enough positive things about her - she truly is the best and was such a lifesaver during the labor process.
