"As soon as I fell pregnant I began to investigate the services of a Doula after hearing feedback about their success with pregnancies. After sourcing Michelle months before the birth, we began to speak on a regular basis throughout the pregnancy about the pregnancy itself and the upcoming birth. Michelle was like my very own birthing guide and coach. She not only knew what helps during birth, having two children of her own, but she also knew when it helps and how to do it because of her expertise and training in this area. My birth was long and tiring (42 hours in fact) so Michelle's role was immensely important to support, encourage and keep me focused. Not only did she offer this type of support but also explained what was happening and some different options on how to handle the process, ultimately making an informed decision to opt for an epidural after 36 hours of labour. Throughout my time in the delivery suite, Michelle gave me great relief with her various massages and rubs, which I was particularly thankful for during my first 36 hours of labour. Michelle's role did not take over or replace the role of my husband, instead offered him support and guidance to be more confident with his part of the birth. My husband was my left hand and Michelle was my right! I fully recommend and support Michelle's competency, awareness and understanding in her role as a Doula. Not only was Michelle professional, her ability to understand and assess my changing needs and state of mind during the entire pregnancy and birth was fantastic. I will be using Michelle again, as my Doula when my second baby is due."
