My birth experience was amazing and I consider myself extremely privileged to have had Dee's support and expertise on that special day. She is not only knowledgeable and clearly passionate about her important role in the labor and delivery room, she also has the personality and endurance for the time and work it requires. I don't know how she does it, but throughout the afternoon and night (birth at 3am), I felt she was taking me and my birth very seriously and at the same time, kept up a very light and necessary sense of humor!
Dee arrived very soon after my husband and I got to the hospital. She was prepared to jump on the labor train right away. She was confident in the techniques she offered and keenly aware of the ones I was asking for and needing. I felt very comfortable and also comforted with her presence. Her warm personality made it natural for her to connect with the medical staff, which I think further reassured me. I didn't realize how important it was to have such a strong and proficient advocate at such a vulnerable time for me and my partner. Dee was also consistently paying attention to me either from close or further away. She made sure to leave space for me and my husband to navigate this experience together, but she was relentlessly reading and interpreting my cues and provided exactly was I needed situation after situation. Dee's support was also essential during times of complications, changes of plans, and adaptation. I benefited not just from my doula's words, but also the input and backing of a mother of four, and most importantly a friend! As a matter of fact, Dee's work was so impeccable that it didn't feel like she was working as a doula, rather it felt like having a sister or a lifelong best friend by my side, lifting me up, as I went through the most important endeavor I ever engaged in. I highly recommend Daniella, she is a rockstar doula whose support any mother deserves while laboring and birthing.
