TESTIMONIALS
"I WOULD RECOMMEND MICHELLE TO ANY WOMAN WITHOUT QUESTION. WORDS CAN'T EXPRESS HOW GRATEFUL I AM FOR HER PRESENCE DURING MY PREGNANCY AND POSTPARTUM PERIOD. I FELT COMPLETELY SUPPORTED IN EVERY STEP OF THE WAY WHILE I NAVIGATED THE COMPLEX JOURNEY OF GIVING BIRTH AND STEPPING INTO MOTHERHOOD. SHE ENCOURAGED ME TO BECOME EDUCATED AND HELPED ME TO FEEL EMPOWERED TO MAKE CHOICES THAT FELT BEST FOR ME AND MY CHILD, NO MATTER WHAT KIND OF PRESSURE I FELT FROM OTHERS. FROM DEALING WITH ISSUES IN MY RELATIONSHIP DURING PREGNANCY TO FIRING MY MIDWIFE AT 41 WEEKS, MICHELLE WAS THERE FOR ME. I GAVE BIRTH TO MY SON IN MY HOME WITH MICHELLE, MY PARTNER AND MY MOTHER BY MY SIDE. THERE WERE NO INTERVENTIONS AND I FEEL SO HAPPY KNOWING THAT I WAS ABLE TO GIVE BIRTH EXACTLY THE WAY THAT I HAD INTENDED TO... FREELY AND ON MY TERMS. WHEN MY BREASTFEEDING JOURNEY BEGAN, I HAD SOME CHALLENGES BECAUSE MY SON WAS BORN WITH A LIP AND TONGUE TIE. MICHELLE WAS A WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE AND HELPED ME TREMENDOUSLY. WE WERE ABLE TO FIND SOLUTIONS TOGETHER THAT WORKED FOR ME AND WITHIN A WEEK, I WAS BREASTFEEDING WITHOUT A CARE IN THE WORLD.

"MICHELLE WAS WITH US ON OUR JOURNEY FROM WEEK 23. SHE WAS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE THROUGH MY PREGNANCY AND BIRTH OF OUR DAUGHTER. SHE WOULD LEND LITERATURE, ANSWER ALL SORTS OF QUESTIONS BY TEXT AND SPENT HOURS GOING OVER BIRTH CHOICES, AND COMFORT MEASURES WITH ME. SHE TIRELESSLY WORKED TO SUPPORT MY HUSBAND AND I THROUGH MY OVERNIGHT LABOUR. DURING MY POSTPARTUM TIME, MICHELLE SUPPORTED ME THROUGH BREASTFEEDING CHALLENGES AS WELL. MICHELLE IS KIND, CONSIDERATE AND REASSURING AND HAS A SEEMINGLY INEXHAUSTIBLE REPERTOIRE OF WISDOM PERTAINING TO PREGNANCY, CHILDBIRTH AND INTERRELATED TOPICS. I CAN'T THANK HER MORE FOR HER SUPPORT."

"IT WAS LOVELY SEEING YOU AGAIN AND SO GREAT TO TALK ABOUT THAT INCREDIBLE NIGHT AND DAY OF [MY GRANDSON'S] BIRTH. YOUR VAST KNOWLEDGE AND THE WAY YOU DELIVER IT IN SUCH A CARING AND BEAUTIFUL WAY, IS SOMETHING THAT I GREATLY ADMIRE. I WILL FOREVER BE GRATEFUL TO YOU FOR THE CALMING GUIDANCE YOU PROVIDED TO [MY DAUGHTER] THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE PRENATAL AND BIRTHING PROCESS. YOUR PRESENCE DURING THOSE VERY LONG HOURS LEADING UP TO [MY GRANDSON'S BIRTH] GAVE [MY DAUGHTER] THE CONFIDENCE TO PERSEVERE AND ULTIMATELY DELIVER HER BEAUTIFUL BABY INTO THIS WORLD WITHOUT MEDICAL INTERFERENCE. WHAT AN INCREDIBLE GIFT!! YOU ARE TRULY A PIONEER AND LEADER IN THIS LAND OF WOMEN WHO NO LONGER TRUST THEIR BODIES TO DO SUCH A BEAUTIFUL, NATURAL AND HUGELY IMPORTANT THING. THE WORLD NEEDS MORE PEOPLE LIKE YOU."

"MICHELLE WAS AMAZING DURING THE BIRTH OF MY DAUGHTER. SHE IS VERY KNOWLEDGABLE, PATIENT AND NONJUDGMENTAL AND HER LENDING LIBRARY WAS INVALUABLE. I HAD A HOME BIRTH AFTER CAESAREAN, AND I BELIEVE IF IT WASN'T FOR HER SUPPORTING ME AND MY HUSBAND, I WOULDN'T HAVE GIVEN BIRTH AT HOME THE WAY IT HAPPENED. HIGHLY RECOMMEND."
