Testimonial for Michele Peterson
Throughout pregnancy and delivery, there are a number of decision points. I will never be as sure about any of the choices we made as I am about our decision to hire Michele. My husband and I both appreciated the classes offered by Michele and Ashley in the lead up to our due date, and I used the on-call number for a variety of questions and concerns throughout my pregnancy. Each time I called on them, Michele and Ashley provided validation, information and tools to move forward. With their support, I felt better prepared for my doctor's appointments and felt more at ease in dealing with issues that popped up.
A few days before my due date, my doctors recommended I be induced. Michele helped talk us through the decision to accept that recommendation and was a crucial resource for me and my husband throughout what was ultimately a 45 hour ordeal. Roughly 24 hours in, Michele joined us at the hospital. By the time she arrived, I was feeling desperate, discouraged and exhausted. Michele infused our room with her energy and gave us the exact support we needed to make it through the finish line. I simply do not know what we would have done without her.
Following the birth, I struggled with breastfeeding. Michele provided crucial support and encouragement through the first two weeks post-partum. Again, she provided the validation and resources I needed to feel confident in myself and do what was best for me and my son.
I will forever be grateful for Michele's expertise, warmth, and talents, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to every expectant parent!
