Testimonial for Dannah Norris
Can't say enough good things about Dannah. We were initially impressed with her doula profile (her credentials, her volunteer interests, etc.) and after our intro meeting knew we wanted her to join us on this journey. She's a wealth of information, able to answer any and all questions and able to provide resources and additional reading to assist you in making informed decisions. Beyond that, she's just a very kind, compassionate, easygoing and funny person. I felt super comfortable around her (important when you have weird body questions, are pushing a baby out of your body and are attempting to breastfeed - pregnancy, labor and delivery and parenthood are messy!).
For us, where she really excelled was in the labor and delivery room. Dannah has a very calming presence, which was appreciated during the chaos and craziness of labor for us first-time parents. I had some post-delivery complications and could not breastfeed for the first few hours. Dannah knew I wanted to breastfeed and hand-expressed colostrum from my breasts to give to our baby. If that isn't going above and beyond, I don't know what is!
Postpartum, Dannah visited us during a particularly difficult day (baby wouldn't latch, I was extremely emotional). I don't know what we would've done if Dannah wasn't there. We had no idea what was happening with the baby and my breasts and she came in and triaged the situation and turned the whole day around.
We're so happy Dannah was a part of this whole experience!
