Holistic Support That
Meets You Where You Are
Explore MY SERVICES
You’re navigating parenthood, while the systems around you may not be built to support the changes you’re experiencing. You deserve evidence-informed guidance and steady support that help you make your own decisions and stay connected to yourself.
Most support in this space asks you to choose: clinical or holistic, evidence or intuition. I don't work that way. If my background in pharmaceutical research, yoga and three very different births of my own taught me one thing, it’s taking what's true and making it usable. However you like to learn, I have a path for you. From personalized support and organizational programs to self-paced courses and private communities, virtual or in-person.
Personalized Support
You don't have to navigate pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood alone or lose yourself in the process. Through 1:1, private or group perinatal support, you'll gain the tools and framework to show up fully in every role you hold, informed enough to make your own decisions, supported enough that you never have to make them alone.
Perinatal Coaching & Doula Support
My perinatal coaching, childbirth education, and doula support combines birth expertise with 10+ years of mindfulness and yoga practice. I use intentional breathwork, embodied awareness, and grounding techniques—not just to help you manage labor, but to help you meet this transition with the clarity and presence that defines The S.M.A.R.T. Journey to Parenting®. Childbirth education is built in, through our work together and the Pregnancy to Parenting course in the S.M.A.R.T. Hub. Your partner is part of this too, with a clear role and the confidence to step into it. Select insurance plans accepted for doula service.
Prenatal Yoga
A gentle movement practice designed specifically for pregnancy, building strength and flexibility while teaching you breath and positioning you'll carry with you into labor.
Postnatal & Baby Yoga
A restorative practice that supports your postpartum recovery and bonding with your baby through gentle movement to rebuild core strength — and a reason to leave the house and be among people who understand exactly where you are.

Michelle was with me every step of the way throughout my pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey... As a first-time mom, she educated me, supported me, and helped me feel comfortable and confident... She was truly a blessing during a very scary time...Her knowledge is incredible, and her kindness and compassion mean the world to me. She is by far the sweetest and most supportive professional I've worked with throughout this entire journey. If you are looking for a doula, I highly recommend Michelle.

Dr. El Khoury's keynote presentation gave us a meaningful understanding of the science behind mindfulness and its benefits—not only for our clients, but also for us as clinicians. She shared practical techniques that we can incorporate into our daily practice and reminded us that sometimes the simplest strategies can make a meaningful difference in patient care and connection. Our attendees left feeling empowered with practical knowledge and strategies they could begin using Monday morning in the clinic!

Michelle is an incredible coach whose calming presence made me feel at home. Her prenatal yoga and childbirth education classes were invaluable, helping my husband and me achieve the birth we hoped for. As my doula, Michelle’s support was steady and empowering, guiding us through birth and postpartum with love, encouragement, and plenty of resources. I can’t recommend her enough for both parents and children.
