Testimonial for Danielle Cruz CD(DONA) Postpartum Doula, Childbirth and Lactation Educator(LCCE) CLE
Danielle was referred to us by a friend who had her as her doula. As soon as my husband and I met with her there was no doubt in our minds that we'd found our doula. Danielle is amazing! She met with us a few times before my delivery and was available via phone and email 24/7 for any questions or concerns I may have had throughout my pregnancy. The day I delivered I was in labor for over 22 hours and Danielle was there with us the whole time from the time I called her at 4am into the early hours of the following morning. She was integral in my having the great birth experience that I ended up having, giving both me and my husband support and guidance all along. When the hospital sent me home to labor when I wasn't dilated far enough, Danielle was by my side the whole time, massaging me and helping me get through it all. She helped us determine when would be appropriate to go back to the hospital and once there she not only gave me techniques to get through the pain of natural childbirth but was also my cheerleader to get through it when I thought I was sure I couldn't endure any more.
Since our daughter's arrival, Danielle has made multiple visits to our house to check in on us and help us as we transition into our new lives as parents. We've been having some of the invevitable struggles that new parents have (lack of sleep, trouble breastfeeding, etc.) and Danielle is a wealth of knowledge, patience and understanding. I'm so happy to be able to call her not just my doula but also my friend.
Stop searching for a doula right now and call Danielle!
