It's difficult to sum into words the positive difference this place has made into our lives. This…read moremay be a little long but please read on. My husband and I came to TGP just for information on hospital birth and ended up being blessed in so many ways by the employees there. After meeting and becoming informed by Michelle, one of the owners, we decided to hire a doula in order to have assistance during the birth of our first baby. Their doula services come at different prices in order to ensure that everyone from varying financial backgrounds can have access to this vital service. Our doula, Florencia, was a rock for us during the birth. She kept me focused and ensured that I got the birth that I wanted for baby and me. All the doula services come with access to three very informative classes. Take advantage of these and their very knowledgeable team! We learned so much and met other families going through this experience. It was wonderful. I can't say enough and express how grateful I am to these ladies. They made the community real for me when I didn't think it possible. I had arranged to have the two female doctors at the practice I used be available to assist my birth. The day I went into labor, my doctor and her backup became unavailable. Leaving me to their male doctor who had been particularly unkind to me at previous visits. I was a wreck laboring thinking he would be at the delivery. My doula contacted the owners at TGP and they made magic happen. Through their help I was seen and had my baby delivered at the hospital by an amazing midwife. My situation may not be common but their assistance was amazing and made the community of women empowering child birth real to me. It goes without saying my husband and I couldn't be more grateful for their services. Our little baby boy was born healthy, naturally, and drug free this past May.

Be very very careful if you use this company to select a doula. Having a doula was incredibly…read moreimportant to me during my labor that I actually booked one from the Gathering Place at only 4 months pregnant. At 34 weeks, my doula contacted me via EMAIL to inform me she was moving out of state and no longer able to attend my birth or provide postpartum support. Frantically I tried to find a new doula but at that point there weren't many options and I did not have anytime to build rapport. They gave me an alternate doula who was listed as a level I (I paid for level IV) and then tried to suggest that their website was not up to date. They were also impossible to get in touch with and only communicated by text and email. I ended up not being able to have any doula support at very complicated early induction due to preeclampsia where I ended up having every intervention under the sun short of a c section to make sure my daughter could be safely delivered. My daughter just came home from nicu and I have no postpartum support - my family does not live near me and with the covid resurgence they are not able to come - another reason why I wanted a doula. The kicker is, the Gathering Place won't even give me a full refund after all of this. If having a doula is an important part of your birth plan or postpartum plan, I would highly recommend going elsewhere to ensure you actually have one when your baby actually arrives.

My 3 year old started when he was 4 months old so it was only natural that we come back with my 4 month old daughter. It's a great environment to watch your kids learn, grow and the best support group you will ever find. I love the sensory, touch, sounds, visual stimulation for the kids. You open them up to a whole new adventure every week! Can't wait for open play to start on the weekend. It will be great to have something to do even for the littlest one!!

We continued lessons with them for 4 more years, and also my other son had lessons (he was 2 at the time) until we moved to another country 3 years ago. Both my kids LOVED their lessons and Michelle, till this day they remember her, she is amazing with the kids!! She is respectful of each kid's needs, loving and lots of fun, but also firm and i think is the perfect combination. Now we had to find lessons in this country for my daughter, and she had a traumatic experience with the coach. He didn't respect her times, zero idea on how to treat a toddler. I really wish we could have our Mishas Fishes's experience with her. As far as I know, Mischas Fishes is the best there is in Miami. (We tried with probably 8 more coaches before and after Mischas... no comparison) Highly recommend!!
