Testimonial for Danielle Breach CD(BAI)
My husband and I welcomed our second son in to the world on December 23rd.We sought out Danielle as our Doula because after our first son's standard hospital birth we knew that we wanted to do things differently and that meant that we need to have a team who supported us and our not so conventional birth plan.After interviewing quite a few Doulas we met Danielle.She was perfect for us!She was kind,calm,compassionate and understanding of our wants and needs.She understood that taking us on as clients meant that she would not just have to help me through an unmedicated water birth but also jump in as a surrogate mother to our two and a half year old son, helping him understand that mommy is ok and working hard to bring his baby brother into the world.Danielle was my go to girl throughout my pregnancy.Doulas jobs are so much more than just helping you through labor. They're a shoulder to lean on and ear to listen when you need it throughout your pregnancy.I called Danielle with all kinds of questions from your standard“is it normal to be...”pregnancy questions to second time mother worries like"I'm scared,how am I going to find the time to give both of the boys the attention they need?"Danielle answered all my questions and put my mind at ease.She herself is a mother of five and I found her wisdom and experience as a mother invaluable!When the big day came Danielle showed up with her motherly warmth and lighthearted kindness.We knew it was going to be a great birth.We labored at home for a few hours then I decided that it was time to head to the hospital.Just four and a half hours after arriving at the hospital we had our son.A completely unmedicated water birth with big brother present and calm throughout the whole labor and delivery.Danielle was there for us through it all!There were times when I wanted to give up and give in but she was a rock and helped our family have the birth we wanted.We could not have done it without out her steady support!
