Testimonial for michelle rodriguez
My husband and I loved having Michelle as part of our birth journey for our first baby. We live away from our families and wanted to have someone who has been through the birthing experience with us on our pre-birth prep and in the hospital with us during labor. I specifically was worried about the pain of labor and how to handle it and my husband was most concerned about how to advocate for me and what we wanted in the labor and delivery room at the hospital since we've never been through a birth before. Working with Michelle before delivery, she helped us both to work through those fears. During our meetings she took the time to talk to us about how we were feeling and to understand where we were coming from. From there she used her knowledge and experience to give us advice on how to face those worries that we had. I think that was the most helpful part of having a doula - helping us understand what to expect and how to handle our fear of the unknowns. An unexpected perk, which was nonetheless extremely important were all of the resources she gave us for the delivery plus the physical prep she did with us in advance. I can't begin to express how comforting it was to have Michelle with us during delivery in the hospital. Even though we felt well cared for by the nurses, because we had been working with Michelle for months, having her with us meant so much more. She brought a comforting, calming and known presence into the room. She even took some photos and videos that I cherish of the moment my daughter was born. We truly loved having Michelle with us and would highly recommend her to a friend or family member looking for a doula.
