Schedule Consult
“We connected with Michelle at a birth center class. We had a few meetings before birth and she helped with getting my birth plan in order, listened and learned exactly how and what I wanted during labor and birth, and gave continuous support up until, through and even after birth! I had such an amazing experience and we definitely appreciated the extra support, words of encouragement, and the helping hand. I really wanted pictures during labor and birth with a video of baby’s first cry. Michelle made sure to capture those things, allowing my partner to be 100% present for me and baby and not having to focus on capturing those things. We will definitely be using Michelle for all future pregnancies and births.”
