My husband and I found Dani through the doula internship program at our birth center to help support us in our third birth. I really connected and related to her bio and her perspective on birth and how support is so needed for mom, dad and baby during this sacred and beautiful time. Dani was so kind and had great communication with us leading up to birth and with scheduling a postpartum visit. She offered suggestions to help induce labor, keep labor moving, and provided comfort for my physically during labor. She took photos and a few videos during labor, per our request, and created a beautiful video for us. She came for a postpartum visit and offered to help with things around our home, give me a massage, and discussed resources that I may find helpful postpartum. Dani was wonderful and I would absolutely recommend her as a doula for expecting mamas!
