Michelle where do I start, there’s no words for how thankful I am to you. You not only went above and beyond staying so long and giving so much of yourself but you truly saved my birth experience. I thought I’d wake up traumatised today but actually I’m feeling more peaceful than I ever imagined I would. You reminded me of my birth preferences at the right time, in the right way and I’d have so many regrets if I didn’t have you there to do that and you reminded me of the most important thing which was safe beautiful baby being here. Im so in love with her, I can’t even imagine I could be happier than I am right now. I can’t even think of how to show you how thankful I am, maybe when I’m not delirious. I hope you’re ok today with that other lady! You are a super woman and we are both so lucky to have you. Message later when we’ve both rested!

Words will never ever express the gratitude I have for you and your family! I truly meant it when i said you aren’t just our doula but our guardian angel and Murray is right… adopted nan and pop! haha We have never felt so loved, nurtured, cared for and supported and hat a positive impact you have left on Sunny.

Part of coming to WA was because we lacked that type of family support which we are trying to change for our own little family. Thank you for showing Sunny such a positive environment. Thank you for bringing such happiness and joy to us.

Michelle, I really don’t even know where to start. When I needed you most to stroke my hair, pull me in tight for a cuddle and be my eyes, ears and mouth when things got a bit vulnerable, not only were you there but you went over and beyond and your support was like a warm hug on a cold winters day. You are truly such an inspiration to me and I couldn’t be happier that it was you with us on this journey. I couldn’t of done it without you and this little one, is here healthy and happy not only because of me but BECAUSE OF YOU! #

I cannot thank Michelle at Perth Doula Services enough for all of her help and guidance through such a momentous time in our lives.

Michelle assisted us post-birth when my partner returned to work after 2 weeks off. Her calm presence definitely helped to soothe my pain and trauma from giving birth as well as navigate the crazy world of having a newborn.

We experienced many issues with latching, feeding, pumping, allergies and torticollis and without Michelle’s direction we would still be having major issues. She helped normalise many of my concerns and encouraged me to seek professional help when needed- she seemed to know more than the CHN and was completely non-judgemental.

Whilst at home, Michelle cared for my baby to allow me to have a shower without anxiety as well as helped around the house which was EXACTLY what I needed at the time. Having Michelle around at this time was such a blessing to our family and really took the load off, it was like having a mum at home to help! Thanks again for all of your help, highly recommend and trust this person with mine and my baby’s life.
