Supporting your family’s biggest transitions.
Pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum bring enormous transformations for the whole family. As a doula, I help equip you with the resources you need to thrive, so you can approach these changes with confidence.
Michelle Engleman, Certified Full Spectrum Doula
“Michelle is an *incredible* doula. She worked with me for my baby who arrived this August and I can’t recommend her more. She was so informative about everything from pregnancy to labor to postpartum - and I had so many questions! She was also really thoughtful and intuitive about what I (and my family) specifically needed. She pointed me to outside resources whenever I needed them. She was a warm and constant presence throughout a long labor. And her overall vibe is one of care and consistency, which built so much trust. My baby is doing amazing and I got to have the birth I hoped for with her gentle guidance and insight. ”
Services
-
Birth Doula
Receive physical, emotional, and informational support from the doula throughout your pregnancy and birth. During two prenatal appointments, the doula will work with you to solidify your birth plan, review comfort measures, and navigate evidence-based information so that you can make informed decisions that support your birth preferences. During labor, the doula is a continuous presence for the birthing person, working in collaboration with the rest of your birth team. Within the first two weeks postpartum, the doula will come to your home to check on your well-being, offer emotional support, and provide guidance related to newborn care.

Private Mentorship
For clients who aren’t seeking day-of labor support, but want guidance on how to prepare for their birth, I offer private mentorship packages. You’ll receive 3 private sessions, evidence-based resources, local referrals, and virtual support for all your questions as you prepare to meet your little one. Sessions are individualized, but common themes include choosing your birth team, making a birth plan, birth options and interventions, comfort measures, partner prep, and postpartum planning. Option to add on additional sessions prenatally or postpartum.
