Jennifer Michel-Wilson is owner of La BelleDoula Birth Support Services and a CD/PCD (DONA), CLC Birth, Postpartum, Bereavement and Holistic Fertility Doula and Certified Lactation Counselor & Educator as well a Certified Childbirth Educator. 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 Jennifer’s life’s work. Beyond being a Doula, Jennifer is an advocate for mental wellness and emotional health – she is a VP Board Member of NAMI, National Alliance of Mental Illness. A proud native New Yorker and loving and devoted wife and mother, she is fiercely dedicated to supporting birthing people and their wellness in all aspects. Seeing a birthing person through preconception, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum is both a passion and an honor. Jennifer’s goal is to empower birthing people and their families by not only providing them with the education and tools needed, but also through being an empathetic support system as they go through this unique journey in life. In August 2022 Jennifer was recognized by the Black Breastfeeding Week Organization with an award for Outstanding Work in the Community. After being introduced to the Milk Magic program, Jennifer has been able to learn even more new ways to help clients redefine their relationship with their bodies, relearn ancestral wisdom, reclaim food sovereignty & re-inspire their communities. She has seen the results first hand when birthing people find success not only with their own journey, but are then willing to share with friends & family a renewed passion for breastfeeding. She truly enjoys engaging with my clients and my community at the ground level this way.
