She specialize in pregnancy health and education, normalizing birth, newborn needs, breastfeeding, and holistic care.

The majority of Michelle's knowledge and skills have been built over the years by carefully taking in each woman's birth journey as she supports mama and her partner. Every woman will give birth in her own unique way, which is why supporting birth cannot solely come from a method, manual, or book.

Michelle's Personal Philosophy
"I believe a birthing woman should be cared for as an individual and she should take part in making informed decisions about her health and about her care. Our fear based culture has taught women to give up their power to others during one of the most important, yet vulnerable times in their life. As a doula, I try to keep the power where it belongs, within the mother."... See More

Doula comes from a Greek word meaning “woman who serves”. I serve as a support, companion, and guide to women and their partners through the birth process. I come alongside the partner and mother, and help partners find their own best way of supporting the mother. I am not a replacement for the partner in any way; I free the partner to operate in the role they already most naturally fill as the person who knows mom best, without having to be the expert about birth. Working together with the nurses, doctor or midwife, and partner, I provide physical support in the form of massage, counter pressure, comfort measures, and am a continuous and calming presence. I also provide encouragement and perspective, and help families navigate their options as choices are presented by their midwife or doctor.
In my 6-week Birth Informed childbirth education course we address the physiological and hormonal processes of labor, explore and equip mothers with coping skills, and provide information about common interventions as well as decision-making tools for when things don’t quite go as planned. This class is for those planning a hospital, home, or birth center birth, medicated or un-medicated, with a doctor or a midwife.... See More

I have been helping women and families to achieve their birth goals for almost 20 years. I received my Labor Doula certification through DONA International and Postpartum Doula certification with CAPPA. Additionally I have attended Lactation Educator training through CAPPA and have completed the Advanced Practice Birth Support Program through Cocoon Birth at Mountain Midwifery Birth Center and am a Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA). I completed Hypnodoula certification in 2016 and am studying how Ayurvedic foods and practices can help new mamas recover, connect and thrive during their first 6 weeks postpartum.

While I believe that an un-medicated birth is best for mama and baby, and provides the best chance of fully experiencing the power of birth, I recognize that it is not always an option or most comfortable for everyone. I believe it is even more important to surround yourself with people who you are at ease with, people who know what is important to you, and people who will support your decisions. As your doula, I will be that person for you!... See More
