Michaela’s life has been moving towards birthwork since she was young.

She feels truly fulfilled when she is connecting with, educating, and empowering people to find their voice.

Michaela is forever seeking to know more about supporting people through menstrual cycles, pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum, and infant feeding, no matter their background or desires.
She is always trying to simplify her life and find ease. She loves to spend time outside with her husband, two dogs, and two cats. She’s definitely a nerd who loves a spreadsheet, a historical women’s fiction novel, or anything to do with the Lord of the Rings.
Testimonial —
“In the early days of being at home, I felt supported overnight and I was able to get some much needed rest with Michaela’s help. She woke me up when it was time to feed our little girl and I cannot tell you how amazing it was to have this opportunity. I think every parent should have this experience as it made things so much easier than I expected.”
