Testimonial for Danielle Randell CD(DONA)
Where do I even begin with how extremely fortunate we were to have found Danielle?! After much research, I decided that I wanted to have an unmedicated birth experience and knew that a Doula was the way to make this happen. I spoke with four Doula’s in total, but instantly felt a connection with Danielle- there was no doubt in my mind that she was who I wanted at our birth. She was so knowledgeable, but most importantly, you could feel her calm and supportive energy. From the moment we hired her (and even before!) she was constantly, checking on not only me, but also my husband. Her level of care even before birth is above and beyond- she really knows how to make a first time mom feel special and cared for. At 30 weeks, we expressed our concern with a hospital birth due to COVID. Danielle was absolutely amazing and connected us with all the right people to make us feel confident in our decision to switch to a home birth. Then, from the moment my water broke, to everything in between, Danielle was mine and my husband’s biggest supporter. Even during moments where I thought I couldn’t do it anymore, Danielle was right there cheering me on and offering all the words of encouragement I needed to push through. She is the main reason I was able to accomplish the birth I had so hoped to have. Due to a tear, I needed to go to the hospital after the birth to get sutured- and Danielle even came with! She was by my side the entire time and made our birth experience the most amazing it could be. Since the birth, Danielle has checked in consistently and even stopped by for a home visit to make sure we were doing OK. I am forever grateful to have found Danielle, not only for her Doula services, but now also as a friend. I can not recommend her enough. Bonus- she takes beautiful pictures of the birth that we will forever cherish. Thank you Danielle for all that you did for us- you truly made an impact on our lives!
