“I can’t recommend Michelle enough. During my postpartum period, my breastfeeding journey went quite differently from how I’d anticipated, and that caused me to experience a lot of stress and emotions that Michelle was essential in helping me to navigate. Michelle is very well-informed and educated, and keeps herself up-to-date on current research, taking an evidence-based approach. Numerous times, Michelle provided me with research and information and then empowered me to make the choices that were best for me. Michelle’s non-judgmental, compassionate, ease-filled approach to doula and lactation care is a gift I feel incredibly blessed to have received.”—

“I am so glad that I made the decision to work with Michelle as my birth doula. Thanks to her, during a labor that would have been stressful and anxiety-inducing, I was able to feel calm, positive, and incredibly supported throughout. My husband was initially skeptical about working with a doula, because he worried that another person’s presence would interfere with our connection. But after having Michelle on our support team, he truly felt that this wasn’t the case at all, and he was incredibly grateful for her presence, her help and her sensitivity. I could also palpably feel the genuine joy that Michelle felt for us when our baby boy arrived! We had a beautiful experience, in no small part thanks to Michelle.”—

“ Michelle is amazing! By some stroke of luck, the universe put her in my path during the early stages of Covid-19 Quarantine when there was absolutely no in-person lactation support to be found. My baby and I were struggling with transfer issues, and Michelle taught me about different positions I could try to maximize the amount of milk my little one was getting. She talked me through them over the phone and sent me some videos for additional instruction. She made a world of difference in my breastfeeding journey and I’m happy to say that six months in, we’re still going with no signs of stopping. I’m so grateful to Michelle and all the help she was able to provide during the early stages of Chloe’s life.” —

“Michelle is an absolute gem. From her smile to her loving heart. I needed to find a balance between caring for my baby and working from home. From the moment I texted her she just gave off the vibe that said “we will get through this” and she delivered on that. She helped me to channel my inner mama and be confident with my little cub. She helped me process changing emotions and how to navigate time with my little one in addition to working from home. She is an excellent listener and draws a delicious bath.”—
