Testimonial for Michele Peterson
I cannot recommend Michele and District Doulas enough. From start to finish, they were an amazing resource as we navigated my first pregnancy. I loved how responsive they were throughout my pregnancy and delivery through ongoing communication and check-ins. No question was too small and they never dismissed our concerns.
During the early stages of labor, Michele kept in close communication with us and shared videos and pictures of positions and movements that we could do to make me more comfortable as things progressed. She checked in regularly and was super responsive during this time and offered to come to the hospital whenever we would like her there. When it finally came time to push, Michele was right there with us and held one of my legs as my husband stood by my shoulder. She fit in seamlessly with my OB and nurses which was also great as that was something I was a little worried about with hiring a doula. After the delivery, Michele stayed right by my side and facilitated skin-to-skin with our baby. She also helped me advocate for more skin-to-skin time when the nurse wanted to rush to take the baby over to weigh, etc. While I was fortunate to have an uncomplicated labor and delivery, it was so nice and comforting to have Michele there to support us every step of the way. A week later she did a home visit and shared some advice and referrals for lactation support which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend working with Michele and District Doulas and would love to work with them again in the future!
