Testimonials
"My daughter and her partner have met with Doula Danielle several times and have learned so much: basics of childbirth, breast feeding, child care; etc. Additionally, the exercises Danielle suggested to move the baby in the breached position worked! She is knowledgeable, patient and so caring. My daughter is feeling more prepared, relaxed and confident."
-Ellen, Grandmother
Thank you so much doe class today! We really enjoyed it and was so helpful to be learning together!
-Brooke, new mom
Danielle was a caring and steadfast advocate. She has a soothing demeanor, a calming voice and outgoing personality. The coaching and birth education class she provided (in home no less!) were an invaluable resource that gave me the confidence to make the right decisions when it came to 42nd week of pregnancy and I had to be induced. She was always quick to answer any questions that arose via text or phone calls. During my 13-hour labor she was a constant support. She logged my contraction frequency and duration, checked in with me, and was available to answer all my questions. She also helped me in and out of the tub and used aromatherapy to help with pain. She was invaluable to both me and my husband, we've both said more than once "I can't imagine what it would have been like without her".
-Joanna and Husband, Birth Doula Client – Baby Maya born January 9th 2016
I am incredibly grateful for Danielle! This sweet and kind momma helped support and love me during one of the most intense moments of my life. As a first time momma, I was super nervous to go into labor.
Danielle visited with me a few times throughout my pregnancy to help me prepare and teach me about allllll the things. When the big day came, she was there for me in ways I could not have imagined and still find it hard to put into words.
I did NOT NOT NOT want a C-section. After 24 hours in labor and pushing ... my birth plan changed and guess what ... the very thing I was most terrified of became very very real. After my boy was born and doing ok, my husband was with the baby and Danielle stayed with me for about 7 more scary hours of surgery. She was there for me through it ALLLLLLL!
We incorporated essential oils, breathing, massage, friendship and sisterhood. We laughed, we cried, we had a baby! She held my hand and was and is still a beautiful inspiring friend. I am so grateful!
