Michelle
My name is Michelle. I have been supporting new moms and families for nearly 25 years. I’m a trained postpartum doula through Dona International and CPR certified. When I was a new mother, I had a vision of how things would work. I would return to my corporate job after 6 weeks and continue pumping for another 6 weeks. When you hold that little person and look into their eyes for the first time, it changes everything! And so the journey began, supporting families by providing services for the smoothest transition of life with a new baby.
