“We appreciated Misha’s guidance, support, compassion, and wisdom during
our labor.  She made our experience (my whole family’s, not just mine) so
rewarding and do-able in ways I had never imagined possible.”  
-  
Dr. Carole McG.
“Whatever you do, get some help for the dad!”
-  Ben Harnke
“Misha and my husband were working hard
through the whole labor, helping me through the
pain and taking care of everything around me.
They created a safe space where I could just
focus on my body and on my baby. Misha's calm
and competent presence, and untiring hands-on
support, helped both of us tremendously, and
we will definitely hire her again if we have
another baby.”
-  Monika Treipl-Harnke
“I felt empowered and safe with Misha
there for me and my family.  Her
intuitive nature made my inability to
express my needs verbally during certain
parts of my labor manageable….   I don’t
think I would have been able to be as
brave as I was, or as unafraid, if Misha
hadn’t been there coaching me.  Her role
at my birth was very special for us, and
very much appreciated.  She helped me
feel strong and capable of having a child."
-  Joann DeSoto
“It was great to have someone else to
give me little hints to give the mother
support....  someone else who knew
what was going on...  someone who
helped us as new parents to voice
ourselves....  someone to take over
what I, the father, forgot.”
-  Raoul DeSoto
