52 - Infertility, Triplet Loss, and Pregnancy After Loss with Michelle

This week's episode is a sweet conversation with Michelle, mom of 6 -- 3 of whom are earthside. Michelle has been self-employed for the last 14 years, co-owning and operating Chinched Restaurant and Deli with her husband, Shaun. She is a graduate of The Culinary Arts Program from Holland College, PEI, where she met Shaun. Before opening Chinched, she traveled and cooked along the eastern seaboard. Michelle is the proud mother of two children, Vivienne and Julien, who are earthside, and had identical triplet boys, A, B, and C, who were lost at 21.5 weeks gestation in 2019 after exhausting all resources to bring them home. In recent months, she has begun her doula training with Doula Training Canada and feels honored to help other families with their birth journeys. She started her doula business, Holistic Doula Services, with the intent of specializing in High-Risk Pregnancy and Pregnancy and Infancy Loss. She loves cooking, hiking, traveling, all things birth, and spending time with her family. For information about Birthing Hope, The program for moms who are pregnant after loss, click ⁠here⁠
