❊   Michelle L’Esperance-Muñoz, CPM (she/ella)

Michelle is the owner and primary midwife at Warm Welcome Birth Services. Attending 760+ births (home, hospital, and birth center) since 1996, and supporting hundreds more as a postpartum doula or childbirth educator, she brings a multitude of insights and ideas to help families have more vibrant, healthy pregnancies and wonderful birth­days.

Whether teaching a roomful of expectant parents, supporting clients through their dream water-birth in the local hospital, or receiving a home-birthed baby into her hands at sunrise, Michelle radiates the joy that can usually be found just behind the curtain of birth’s intense work.

“Just as a woman’s heart knows how and when to pump, her lungs to inhale, and her hand to pull back from fire, so she knows when and how to give birth.” ­Virginia Di Orio

“A midwife should have a lady’s hands, a hawk’s eyes and a lion’s heart.” ­ Aristotle
