Michelle M. | Postpartum Doula in Albany, CA

Modern Mama Doulas Bay Area

    Practice overview

    As an ECE and preschool owner for almost 30 years, I helped countless families to navigate new parenthood as they grew their families. From practical support to tearful conversations, I witnessed, again and again, the emotional challenges of pp and the need for skilled, compassionate support. When I was pregnant with my 3 children, I too experienced the lack of authentic support for new moms. While each postpartum experience was different, I did not receive the support I needed. Today, as a Bay Area Postpartum Doula, I strive to create a warm and nurturing environment where you can feel comfortable and empowered throughout your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey. With years of experience and a deep understanding of the physical and emotional aspects of new parenthood, I am dedicated to helping you navigate this beautiful and transformative time in your life.

      Michelle exceeded ALL expectation and more. She was so caring, gentle, and there for all of my needs. She has continued to show love and support by doing check ins to make sure all is well. I highly recommend Michelle!!

      Michelle was very patient and kind. She answered all of my questions no matter how crazy or silly they were! She is very knowledgeable and encouraging. She was so caring of me and my little one and we were so sad to see her go. I highly recommend Michelle to any soon to be mother. You need her; she is the best!
