My name is Jennifer Michel-Wilson, CD/PCD (DONA), CLC Birth, Postpartum, Bereavement and Holistic Fertility Doula and Certified Lactation Consultant, and 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.
