Testimonial for Danielle Randell CD(DONA)
As soon as we met Danielle we knew we wanted to hire her. From the get-go she was warm, welcoming, supportive & caring about what we wanted for our birth. There were never any judgements or pressure for any type of birth. After we hired Danielle she checked in on me the rest of the pregnancy. She answered all my questions & never made me feel like a burden. I got admitted to be induced at noon on Sunday Jan 26th. When my contractions started to feel more intense in the late afternoon, Danielle headed to the hospital. From that evening until about 11pm the next night, she was right by my side. She never left us which, for a tired & scared mama in pain, was very meaningful. When I wanted to give up, she gave me the strength to keep going and fighting for that baby girl. At one point the doctor’s told us we would need to start considering a C-section if the baby didn't move down & were given an hour to see what kind of progress she could make. During that hour Danielle worked her magic & put me into positions I would have never known to try or consider. I truly believe without Danielle I would have had to have a C-section that night. When the doctors checked me again our baby girl had moved down and I was just about ready to start pushing. We cannot recommend Danielle enough! She got me through the hardest 2 days of my life, & we owe our healthy baby girl to her supporting us & helping us throughout the whole process. When I broke down in tears, she let me cry & made me feel safe and supported. When I thought I couldn’t push any more she held my hand and told me how strong I was. I didn’t think I would want photos of the labor but she took beautiful ones. She also captured a wonderful timeline for us so we can remember each phase of the delivery. We will be hiring Danielle for our next baby without a doubt! We are so thankful she came into our lives and hope you can experience her talent as a doula!
