I could not have asked for more out of Michele during my labor and delivery. She came to our house and helped us through early labor, keeping me calm and relaxed. She stayed in constant communication with our midwives and helped us decide when it was best to head to the hospital.
When we arrived at the hospital, all the fun began. I had progressed well, but was told that my baby had turned his head slightly and this could delay further progress. Michele worked with my support team on comfort measures as well as different things I could do to try to get the baby to turn his head (squats, lunges, walking, etc.). He was a stubborn little man though, so my labor went on for quite a while. As my support team began to get tired, and I began to get exhausted, Michele stepped in even more making sure I stayed focused and relaxed.
Overall Michele was extremely easy to work with, let my family fill roles they wanted to, but still took charge when she had the expertise needed. If there was a rating system, I'd definitely give a five out of five stars. I'd work with her again and have already recommended her to friends.
