Testimonial for Danielle Lugrand, CPE, LCCE, CLC, AdvCD/AdvPCD(DONA)
Danielle has delivered both of my children, and is now considered to be part of our family! The depth of knowledge, loving and kind support and care, and 24x7 availability make the pregnancy and labor experience a thousand times less stressful. My favorite memory is when I was recently birthing my daughter, without an epidural, dilated to a 6, and in intense pain. Danielle changed my position into the thone pose, pushed my legs into my hips through a contraction and had the nurse bring me a Popsicle -- I couldn't even feel the contraction after that! Eventually the pain did come back, but Danielle's tenacity and endurance always found a way to make things that much better for me. When I birthed my son, I remember Danielle staying up all night to turn me every 15-20 minutes to keep my labor going, despite the epidural. She even made my husband and my mom take a nap, after giving them snacks from what I call her 'magical bag'! When the doctor came in the check me and realized that there was a small section that wasn't quite dilated, Danielle, mom, and hubby used a 'magic curtain' and a peanut ball to hold me up on all fours -- when the doctor came back, it was time to push!
Danielle's service and knowledge in the industry is truly unmatched. I could tell numerous stories about the awesome massages she can provide, the AMAZING lactation support she gives, and how that all culminates in her passion to follow the Lord no matter what. She's an amazing human being, and she's the BEST at what she does. She truly makes use of the gifts God gave her, and I'm eternally grateful that he placed her in our lives -- I'd never have another kid without her!
