We’re so glad we had Karissa as our doula. I truly could not have had the unmedicated birth I so badly wanted without her. Through a very rough pregnancy she was a great source of support. She was such a huge help creating our birth plan. My husband was so grateful to have Karissa in the delivery room with us. She would provide pain relief tips, help communicate with nurses and doctors, answer questions we had when nurses weren’t present. So my husband didn’t have to and could just focus on me. She also captured amazing photos for us that we would have never had without her there. Overall cannot recommend having a doula enough. Especially for first time moms. And especially if you have the opportunity to work with Karissa!

If you're feeling pain, discomfort, "I don't know what," RUN don't walk to visit Michael. I'm in my second pregnancy, and second bout of sciatica nerve pain. First time around, I stubbornly suffered for 2-3 weeks before trying acupuncture. HE CURED ME IN TWO SESSIONS. No joke. Within a month I was a happy pregnant lady again, after weeks and weeks of suffering. Fast forward to my second pregnancy - sciatica came back and I immediately scheduled an appointment. I'm older, stuck at home during COVID and now finally pain free, able to move without issue. No medication, no expensive doctor appts...Even if you're afraid of needles, give him a shot (haha, no pun intended), he'll answer all your questions, explain the entire process and make you feel at ease. AND solve your pain and mobility issues. How could you go wrong?!
