Testimonial for Danielle Randell CD(DONA)
I coldn't have asked for a better experience with a doula than I had with Danielle. This was my second birth, a home VBAC after a traumatic emergency c section the first time around. I actually reached out to Danielle before deciding on a home birth at the recommendation of a friend, and Danielle helped me explore my options and made recommendations on how to choose the rest of my extrordinary birth team. Danielle has a calm and confident vibe which put me at ease as she encouraged me to trust myself and my own instincts. She was wonderful to talk to about my first birth experience and she encouraged me to prepare for the birth I wanted this time around, patiently answering all of my questions. She was like a counselor, physical therapist, and Google all wrapped into one. Leading up to and during labor she was responsive, encouraging, and advocated for me clearly and calmly. Danielle made sure that my husband had the opportunity to be actively engaged in the whole process and showed him different ways that he could support me, including encouraging him to get into the birth pool with me and showing him how to help me during contractions. The birth timeline she created and the pictures she took are something we will forever be thankful to have. This birth experience was so peaceful and redemptive, and I am so grateful to have had Danielle along side me the entire time.
