Meet Michele H.

Michele is a Wisdom Ways certified birth and postpartum doula on our team with over 20 years of experience as a postpartum doula. She is also a breastfeeding peer counselor and certified in CPR/first aid. She supports traditional and non-traditional families with singletons, twins, and with multiple older children. She is experienced with both daytime and overnight care, as well as providing breastfeeding and feeding support. Families describe her as calming, empathetic, gentle, wise in all things birth & baby, and lighthearted. She adjusts her care and approach to meet each family’s needs.

Prior to doula work she nannied and cared for children in a church daycare. She was called to birth work after having a doula for her own birth. She loves watching new parents find their power within parenting, and watching their confidence grow whether it’s their first baby or 6th. Michele is a mother to a 21 year old daughter who was a very high needs fussy baby. Her daughter trained her not to be scared of crying babies because she cried a lot!  She attributes becoming a mother and struggling with that adjustment to her strong desire to care for mothers, babies and families.

When Michele isn’t supporting families, she enjoys spending time outside. She also does a lot of agility and obedience training with one of her dogs!
