Emotional Support
Pregnancy and childbirth can bring on a whirlwind of emotions. Birth Doulas provide a safe space for processing emotions and making informed decisions. Michelle provides a grounding energy to encourage, reassure, and provide non-judgmental support throughout your pregnancy and birth journey.
Physical Support
Birth Doulas are trained in comfort measures for labor. Michelle will educate you on how to prepare your body for birth to optimize alignment and balance, which can improve mobility and create space in the pelvis. Learn movements to ease pregnancy discomforts and prepare for childbirth with a visual guide for use while laboring at home and/or in the hospital.
Advocacy/Education
Fear of the unknown can feel overwhelming. Michelle will provide evidence-based resources to help you prepare for prenatal visits with your care provider, develop your birth plan, and advocate for your desired birth. Learn comfort measures, muscle memory practices, and strategies to protect physiology during labor.
