About LBD

about me

Hello and welcome to La Belle Doula! My name is Jennifer Michel-Wilson—Certified Birth Doula & Certified Postpartum Doula, Bereavement & Holistic Fertility Doula as well as a Certified Lactation Counselor. I am also Body Ready Method Certified (BRM Pro). I am the founder and owner of La Belle Doula.

La Belle Doula was founded upon the recognition of the extreme lack of compassion in maternal health care, and it became abundantly clear that this was to be my life’s work. Beyond being a Doula, I am an advocate for mental wellness. Supporting mental and emotional health is a sentiment in my life which led me to become a VP Board Member of NAMI, National Alliance of Mental Illness. In addition, I am a proud native New Yorker who is a loving and devoted wife and mother. I am fiercely dedicated to supporting women and their wellness in all aspects. Seeing a woman through pre-conception, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum is both a passion of mine and an honor.

our mission

Here at La Belle Doula, my goal is to empower you by not only providing you with the education and tools needed, but also through being an empathetic support system as you go through this unique journey of your life. La Belle Doula values your overall well-being and caters to each woman’s individual needs in order to be the guidance and shoulder to lean on during this complex and powerful experience. As your Doula, I believe in your vision. I trust in your strength, and I remind the power within you because every woman deserves a beautiful beginning and ending.

HELPING YOU OVERCOME CHALLENGES

Pregnancy can be challenging and difficult, and we can’t control the type of childbirth you will have, and how you choose to birth your baby is your prerogative. But through strong communication, trust, and positive energy we can overcome any obstacle together because what’s important to me— is that you are loved, respected, heard, and seen in this life-changing experience.

Everybody’s pregnancy and childbirth is different, but that’s what I believe makes it all the more magnificent and special. Studies show that the emotional, mental, and physical support of a Doula can make a significant difference in your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period. La Belle Doula encourages open communication in order to build a bond that equips you with the confidence and resources that is absolutely necessary not only for you, but also for your family. I aid parents and families by fostering education and encouragement to strengthen the family unit. I empower families by supplying thorough and researched answers to many questions that have not always been accessible by their physician.

La Belle Doula also understands the Black and Brown community health crisis during birth and postpartum. It is something that I am also truly passionate about and advocate for, and plan to contribute a positive change through each woman at a time. La Belle Doula’s core belief is that touching one birth, can change a family, that can change a community, which results in creating a better world!
