What People Are Saying
"During three hours of pushing — after a long labor — Michelle never left my delivery room. She encouraged and guided me with humor, kindness, and patience. Michelle helped me try different positions, both for my comfort and to help labor along, many of which produced immediate, positive results. My healthy, 9-pound-4-ounce son was born safely with no interventions, and I had no tearing or other complications. I was up and walking within the hour. I credit Michelle’s skill and expertise with my positive birthing experience".

"We have had the pleasure of working with both Michelle and Lindsay over the years. Michelle assisted with all 4 of our births. We have been honored and grown with Michelle on her journey from a doula to a midwife. Michelle is a kind and loving soul by nature, and during our births she took extra attention to support our birth plan and be the voice of reason to ensure our wishes/plans were met. Michelle has a natural demeanor that is calming, serene and encouraging. Michelle made myself and my husband feel at ease even during some of the most difficult times during our labor. She is knowledgeable in her field and is very approachable. Michelle takes the time to listen and address any concerns you might have. She has made herself available to our family and we could not thank her enough for all the effort, love and care she has provided us in our most vulnerable times.
Lindsay was a midwife at our local birthing center in CT and helped deliver our third child at the hospital. Despite risking out of the birth center, Lindsay was willing and available to advocate for us, working with the hospital staff to ensure we had as close to a natural unmedicated birth as possible per our birth plan. She communicated with us on any changes or recommendations that arised. She was kind and supportive, always taking the extra step to notify us of our options and possibilities. Ensuring that we were on the right path and educating us as much as possible with our decisions.
During our third birth, we were blessed to have both Michelle and Lindsay working collaboratively to assist us, we could not have asked for a better team! Our birth would not have been as close to our birth plan without the assistance and guidance of Michelle and Lindsay.
We are excited to see such a dedicated, experienced, and knowledgeable pair to support the community. We would recommend Michelle and Lindsay at Sage Willow Midwifery to all women and families near and far!"
