Testimonial for Victoria Michonski CD, HCHI, CLC
Victoria was so calm and confident the first time I spoke to her on the phone that I knew she would be the right person to help me through labor. She was knowledgeable about labor, delivery, how to manage pain, nutrition - I felt confident that she knew what to expect and what her part was in the labor process. This in turn made me feel confident about my decision to go through labor and delivery without pain medication. She was by my side for the last half of my labor (from 6pm to 7am!!) doing whatever it took to help manage the pain and keep me calm, offering her own suggestions at just the right time and responding quickly and effortlessly to what I needed from her, never once flustered or amazed by whatever I said or did that I didn't even want my husband to witness! My labor might have gone on longer had she not come to the rescue with a technique for getting past an anterior lip. The nurses were no help after telling me what the hold-up was but Victoria put me into a position using the Yoga ball that picked up the speed and fixed the problem! I attribute my success to go through with a med-free birth almost entirely to her care; I can't recommend her enough.
