What Clients have said:

Working with Michelle has been wonderful to say the least. She is professional, diligent and very transparent in her work. But most of all she employs a level of personal involvement, by getting to know the family she is working with, at a level which makes her approach so effective. She made the journey just as exciting as the final product.
