Testimonial for Michele Peterson
I cannot recommend Michele enough. She is absolutely incredible. My wife and I were very hesitant to hire a doula because of our birth plan. We thought that doulas were going to be judging us for wanting a hospital and epidural birth. Michele was truly there to help us with whatever birth plan we wanted. She did not impose any views onto us, but instead took the time to listen and understand what was important and she advocated for exactly that.
We had a very difficult birth that did not go as planned, solely because of the terrible doctor that we had to work with. Every step of the way, the doctor was pushing for a c-section unless we could progress to the next step. Michele got us to the next step each time through different techniques and positioning and kept me comfortable even through a failed epidural. Unfortunately, the doctor forced me into a c-section at the end but Michele stayed after to help guide us through our golden hour.
She is incredibly maternal and patient and is very generous with her time. She came to our home a week after to check on us and offer lactation support.
We will be hiring Michele for every other birth we go through and we have been recommending District Doulas to all of our pregnant friends :)
