Testimonial for Michelle Appenheimer
The single most important thing I did for my labour journey wasn’t just hiring a doula, it was hiring Michelle. She took the time to get to know my husband and I beforehand- what was important to us, what we hoped for, what our fears were- so that she could support us to the best of her ability. She brought helpful tools for pain management, helped keep us rested and fed over the many exhausting hours of a two day labour, made sure we didn’t have to worry about the post-home birth cleanup, and was there to guide us through the postpartum process. Most importantly, Michelle helped me to understand every part of the birthing process and supported me in advocating for myself and trusting my body when things were uncertain. I can’t stress enough that without her my journey would have looked very different, and I am incredibly grateful for her and her gentle guidance. After my birth experience, which I would call empowering, I would strongly encourage any birthing person to hire a doula especially if they are hoping to birth at home. Better yet… hire Michelle.
