Kind Words
Families I've supported share their experiences.
"Thank you for being here for me during this weird difficult time of postpartum. I feel like you understand it much better than my family. Your advice and encouraging has kept me sane these last few weeks."
-Sara B, first time mother
"It was a wonderful experience having Michelle as my doula. She understood me and she always listened to me. She gave me and the baby so much love, and the support that you need."
- Erneneshia A., first time mother
"From our first meeting with Michelle I could tell she was going to be a great fit. As a first time mom, my husband and I were looking to find someone with a wealth of knowledge and experience. Her presence is very calming and reassuring.
She was very accommodating to schedule all the meetings before the birth to make sure we were prepared. Any question we asked she gave a great explanation and made sure we had all our questions answered.
She was always available to us throughout my induction via phone all day and night. Upon arrival at the hospital she came prepared and had lots of tools and suggestions to make labor go easier. We ended up with a c-section, and she stayed with us through that process and making sure we were settled afterward before leaving.
Her presence throughout the whole process was calming and she was always thinking one step ahead."
- Kelsey S., first time mother
"My experience with Michelle was absolutely perfect. From the way she comforted my other children down to all the knowledge and assistance before and after my birth was spot on. I couldn't have asked for a better hands on, patient, sweet, heart warming person to make my natural birth more perfect."
- Meg B, mother of 5
"We had the pleasure of getting to work with Michelle after our original doula was unable to attend our birth. It was such a blessing in disguise! Michelle is kind, compassionate, and extremely knowledgeable. She stepped up tremendously during our unmedicated hospital birth and helped me stay true to my birth plan. Even my OB/GYN later commented on how Michelle was one of the better doulas one of his patients has brought into their birth. We are so thankful to have gotten to meet Michelle and so appreciative of her help in welcoming our baby girl into the world. You will not be disappointed in choosing Michelle for your birth!"
-Sydney P, first time mother
"I've always been unsure on having kids until that day in the delivery room, you made me want to have a million kids. One great birth made me want to have more kids. I can tell you're passionate about your job. Keep doing great things and bringing wonderful babies into this world!"
Ramona W., first time mother
"Before my experience, I didn't know what a doula was or what they did. I thought it was similar to a midwife with an at home birth. I'm glad I looked into it because it was so much more. I feel like all these choices opened up for me as Michelle and I did our consultation. I decided this was what I was looking for in helping with my situation of my husband and I being the only ones living in SC while our relatives were far away. I felt so at ease and confident to have another person help me when I delivered my baby. Michelle has so much to offer with all she is certified to do as a doula and her own experiences as a mom. She helped explain the whole process and what your body goes through from start to finish. About a month ahead of the estimated due date we went over the things I wanted to try to achieve in the delivery room at the hospital and postpartum. Some things I knew but there was a lot that I wished I would've known about sooner with my first child. I think we would've made a lot of different choices and had an easier birth. If my husband and I decide to have another baby in the future, I will be requesting her again. I feel as if I gained a friend and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula."
- Briana C., mother of 2
"We would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for accepting us while in my third trimester, answering our phone calls at any time of the day (or night), being a part of our birthing experience, and continuing to offer us help and advice now that our sweet little baby is out of the womb. You provide a sense of wise and nurturing support that perfectly belonged in our delivery room and we appreciate so much everything you have done for our family. So from the bottom of our hearts: thank you."
- Elisa S., first time mother
"I luckily got introduced to Michelle through my midwife, and I couldn't be more blessed. Michelle has been an angel pre and postpartum. So knowledgeable and so kind. Truly doesn't have a bad bone in her body.
She was there every time I had a question or concern no matter the day or time. The day I went into labor I felt ready and confident, I had plenty of mental and physical advice. And ended up delivering my baby in under two hours, unmedicated!
I have no doubt that she'll continue to be my doula for my future pregnancies!"
- Rosa E., mother of 5
"Michelle went above and beyond all expectations! She showed me so many techniques that helped me tremendously. She comforted me in many ways. She assisted me in getting around before, during , and even after labor. She helped me with my breathing techniques when I was in pain and couldn't calm myself. The knowledge she had was just phenomenal. I could go on and on in many ways to tell you guys just how amazing she really is! One thing is for sure if I ever plan on taking the natural journey again I would not hesitate to reach out to her to be my doula again because that's just how fantastic her support was! Even after my birthing journey she has came to my home a few times to check in on us also including my spouse just makes us feel very special and truly cared for."
- Autumn V., mother of 2
