About me

Hi there! I’m Michelle! I’m a fellow home birth mama to four amazing children. I believe birth should be gentle, undisturbed and transformational for mothers and their families. Nurturing mothers during birth and postpartum is the foundation for how they are able to connect with their families and themselves. We are rewriting the patriarchal narrative, women need to serve women above all else. It’s important to know that as your doula, I strive for a friendship, not a business agreement. I’m so excited to meet you!

Service introduction

Hi!! Congratulations on your pregnancy!! Here is a simple breakdown of what I can offer you but it’s more about what you personally want/need because every person is different! You choose if you want birth or postpartum support! Pregnancy: - prenatal visit after 37 weeks - 24/7 virtual support Birth: - on call support - Relaxation techniques - Whatever support I intuitively feel or you express you need - Keeping a positive environment - Involving dad; my involvement can be as much or as little as you need - Keeping you hydrated + fed - And so much more 🩵 Postpartum: - 2-3 visit depending on your needs - Keeping a positive environment to help you and baby bond in bliss - Involving dad in caring for you during this precious time - And more offerings such as a meal, massage, sitz bath, placenta prep if you’re doing a home birth and want to consume etc! This is something we will talk about at the prenatal visit
