About Me!!
Hi, I'm Mishel a proud Mother and Grandmother, living in the heart of beautiful Chesterfield. I thrive in this warm, close-knit community where peace and friendly faces make every day special.
Family is at the center of everything I do. Over the years, I've guided my four children and supported my daughters on their unique mothering journeys. Now, as a hands-on grandmother, I've experienced the beauty of early parenthood firsthand, which inspires me to help others through those delicate, transformative moments.
I believe your journey into Parenthood should be filled with confidence, calmness, and joy from the earliest stages of pregnancy through birth and beyond. With a gentle smile, an open heart, and a truly non-judgmental approach, I offer a safe space for you to explore your options at your own pace.
