Testimonial for Danielle Cruz CD(DONA) Postpartum Doula, Childbirth and Lactation Educator(LCCE) CLE

Danielle Cruz is more than an amazing person, what she does is guide you through a very unexplainable path. My husband and I took the classes and family and friends tried to tell us what would happen when giving birth. But when you’re a first time parent you have no clue what to expect or well I didn’t. It is not a life changer, it is a shift in dimensions. An absolute change on the order of entering adolescence, being born or loosing a loved one. Danielle was there with us every step of the way through this transition. She was more than a doula. I would call her a spiritual guide! I met Danielle at Penny Simpkins birthing class, I looked at her name tag, and we both had the same last names. It was fate she had to be there through our journey. When it came down to the day of delivery I am so thankful we had her through this ride. Danielle took a personal interest in my birth experience. She also made sure it was not just me but my husband who was fed or needed a nap. One of the most powerful memories is of her massaging my feet during labor. She will go above and beyond to make sure you have the birth experience you want because that is simply her nature. When we have another child wherever we are in the world I would not want to be without her by my side.
