After 17 years working as a professional nanny, I transitioned into postpartum care to support families during the vulnerable early weeks at home. I’m a Certified Postpartum Doula and a trained Newborn Care Specialist with over 1,000 hours of hands-on infant experience. My certification is currently being finalized.My approach is calm, responsive, and rooted in practical support and evidence-based care. I aim to be a steady, reassuring presence so parents can rest, recover, and feel confident in their new rhythm.

"As a new mother with her first child, there was so much I didn’t have prepared and so much I didn’t know! Michelle provided so much education and support in a nonjudgemental and kind way. She is an absolute expert in soothing babies. She arrived on multiple occasions to a fussy baby with new parents at a loss for how to console her. She taught us ways of relieving our baby’s gas and burping our baby that calmed her in seconds."

"Hiring Michelle as our night doula was the best decision we made for our family. For the first three months, her wonderfully relaxed and easygoing presence allowed us to get invaluable, restorative sleep while she expertly handled all of our newborn's needs overnight. Her gentle, practical guidance on everything from reflux to sleep patterns was a huge help, even as second-time parents. Michelle's support was so incredible that we had her return at six months to help with sleep training, and with her calm coaching, our son was sleeping through the night in just four days. Her unique blend of warmth, professionalism, and deep knowledge made an extraordinary difference, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to any family.."
