Testimonial for Dannah Norris
We worked with Dannah as our birth doula, for the birth of our first baby at Swedish hospital in January 2021. She was an essential partner and support to me, my husband, and our daughter throughout our pregnancy and fourth trimester, always available to answer questions, shared tons of resources on childbirth and post partum that saved me time researching, and was so well organized and easy to schedule and communite with - which is so essential when you have a lot on your plate as expecting / new parents! Dannah helped us know what to expect from our hospital birth given her extensive experience at Swedish, and we felt confident in our preparation and birth plan knowing she shared our values around pregnancy and birth. During our birth, dannah was a calm and supporting presence inspite of a fast-paced birth and changes to our birth plan that we didn't anticipate. She also helped us start breastfeeding immediately in the delivery room, which I am sure contributed to our early success in breastfeeding, and made sure we were comfortable and in good hands when we transferred to our post partum room (Dannah even thought to get us breakfast ordered after our daughter was born when we were running on adrenaline and needed to eat after being up all night, but didn't even realize it ourselves!) Even though we only worked together for the birth, the post partum visits included in Dannah's birth doula package helped answer questions we didn’t even know we had until after our daughter arrived. We would definitely work with her again for another baby and birth.
