Testimonial for Victoria Michonski CD, HCHI, CLC
I had a very good experience with Victoria Reed Michonski, even though things went very differently than I planned at my birth! She met with me and my husband on multiple occassions and was very responsive to any questions, she was not judgmental, and she made me very excited for my upcoming birthing experience. She would email me great articles and recommended reading which we appreciated. She really had recommendations for everything I needed, including an acupuncturist when the baby was not making progress in arriving! I did not have the birth I dreamed of due to certain issues, none of which Victoria could have predicted or prepared me for, but after my baby was born she really made a difference. My goal was breastfeeding, and it was a rough start that resulted in many tears and thoughts of giving up. Victoria visited me at home after the birth and while she is not an IBCLC, she was excellent at helping me figure out latch, proper positioning, etc. I do think without her help I would have quit, but here I am almost one year later and my nursing relationship is one of my favorite parts of being a mother.
I recommend Victoria if you are looking for someone who is extremely knowledgable about child birth, who is down to earth, who will not pressure you or make you feel bad about decisions you make, and who will be available at the most dire moments. That is exactly what I wanted in a doula so I was happy with my choice.
