Testimonial for Victoria Michonski CD, HCHI, CLC
We used Victoria for the births of both our children and couldn’t speak more highly of her. Victoria has an incredible depth of knowledge about childbirth. She helps you navigate how to successfully have the type of birth you want by equipping you with the questions to ask your doctor, possible problems that may arise and how to deal with them, and wonderful pain management tools. She is so kind, warm and encouraging. I wish every woman who has a child could have Victoria by her side!
For our first birth I knew I wanted to do it unmedicated but I was nervous that I wouldn’t be able to do it. To top it off, I had blood pressure issues, which put me at high risk and I would very likely be induced at 39 weeks. I was wavering in my confidence that I could get through an induction without an epidural. Victoria helped both my husband and I navigate our options with the induction. During labor she was fantastic. She helped me with breathing and encouraged me to try many different positions and places (bed, ball, shower) to manage the pain. I think she was as much of a help to my husband, who she was able to keep calm and reassure him that everything was progressing the way it should. Our daughter was born healthy and I felt so incredibly proud that I was able to do it the way I wanted, even with the induction.
For our second child there was no question as to if we would hire Victoria again. This time I went into labor naturally and since I hadn’t experienced natural early labor before it was really wonderful having Victoria there to text and call in the days and hours leading up to the delivery. Once at the hospital the baby came fast and furious. Victoria was coaching me every step of the way and I was so thrilled to have the completely natural birth experience I had wanted with our first child.
If you are on the fence, jump over it, and hire Victoria as soon as you can!
