I wholeheartedly recommend Danielle Randell as a doula after she supported me through the birth of my third child! I kept hearing that the "third time around" would be fast and intense so, in my mind, I planned for her to help me through the latter parts of a quick labor and delivery. Well, as we all know, birth doesn't often go according to our plans. It turns out that baby wasn't quite in the best position and my labor kept starting, progressing, then stopping over and over again. Danielle, through her experience and wisdom, guided me through this roller coaster. She was attentive, answered my calls and texts immediately and knew when to rest and conserve my energy, when to come to my home, and when it was time to go to the hospital. I know for certain it was her expertise that prevented me from going to the hospital too soon. She encouraged me emotionally when I felt exhausted and nervous with patient understanding. When we did arrive at the hospital, I was amazed that she knew the staff by name as well as where things were. She strategically placed me in positions to best assist baby to turn and maneuver on down. She worked seamlessly with the staff to provide me with the best team dynamic while I delivered and somehow was even able to capture a few beautiful photos of my husband and me with our little one! Looking back now I am so glad that I chose Danielle. We will forever be grateful for her integral part of my child's delivery.
