From the very moment I met Michelle,I felt at ease and as if I were meeting a long time friend for coffee! Michelle asked me questions that made me aware of so many important components and options in the birth process, as well as answered every single one of my questions more thoroughly than I ever could’ve asked for. She asked about my preferences, offered supports in preparation for my birth experience, and most importantly communicated with me almost every day leading up to the birth. She made herself available for any questions I had day or night. This made me feel incredibly supported and as if I had an extremely knowledgeable ally on my side. Because of Michelle‘s insight, calm demeanor, support, and positive energy, I felt almost no nerves leading up to the birth. I felt incredibly prepared and more so, excited! On the day I went into labour (early), Michelle came over in a flash and, throughout the entire evening through to the next morning and following evening, I laboured with Michelle by my side. Michelle made the experience so calm, and enjoyable. She supported me emotionally and physically as well as provided tons of techniques and that calm, knowledgeable, positive demeanor throughout. What I especially loved was that Michelle, throughout the entire labor process, including at the hospital, ensured I knew what was going on every step of the way. This made me feel at ease, and powerful throughout the entire experience! My decision to choose Michelle as my Doula was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. She is the best choice, and should be the first choice of anybody embarking on this journey. I couldn’t imagine going through this process without Michelle by my side!
