Testimonial for Dana Oakes-Sand AS, CCE, MCD, NMPP, IPES
***POSTED ON BEHALF OF MY MOTHER, MARIANNE*** 2/2
Dana’s personality is beyond perfect for her job. You can’t say she has a “bedside manner” as she covers so much more area than that. Besides caring for my daughter, Dana was looking out for my son-in-law, me and thinking about those in the waiting area as well. Until I met Dana that day at the hospital, she was a stranger to me except for what I knew about her through my daughter. By the end of the day, after the 22 hours of labor, I feel that Dana I are connected in such a wonderful way and will always remain connected. After my daughter gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby girl, I couldn’t stop telling her and her husband that I thought one of the best decisions they ever made as a couple was to hire Dana as their doula. She was invaluable to my daughter and her husband on one of the most important days of their lives, and I can’t imagine them having gone through it all without Dana.
I want to add that there was one additional person in the delivery room. We were so fortunate to have had Dana’s apprentice, Harmony, also with us. Harmony was there to observe and learn, but she did far more than that. There were several times during all those hours when my daughter was literally leaning on Harmony for support. Harmony’s personality and caring disposition will certainly make her as wonderful a doula as Dana.
