If only every woman could have a Daniella by her side. Daniella did not even get to attend my birth in person due to pandemic restrictions and even so, having her care was such a gift. Any one of the three stages, pregnancy, birth or postpartum, would have made it more than worth it to have her as our doula. From first meeting, Daniella was clearly genuine, skillfully supportive and experienced. Now I know that she is also incredibly wise. Every piece of her advice was delivered with a light touch but proved to be absolutely true. She made a huge difference in my pregnancy comfort, my ability to get through a natural birth, my postpartum recovery AND breastfeeding (she is a lactation counselor!). It's so hard to sum up her impact-- it's a hundred little things that just add up, from making a joke that helped me lighten up at the right moment, to recommending a chiropractor who saved my back, to advising me how to treat my body for the fastest possible recovery. She worked so well with me and my partner and helped strengthen us as a team. Her expertise is physiological, logistical, mental and emotional. Not only did she support body, birth and baby, but she helped me process, own and celebrate my experience. I honestly can't wait for my next local friend to get pregnant purely so I can recommend Daniella to them. I initially didn't think I wanted a doula, and now I can't imagine not having Daniella's care!
