I don't even know how or where to begin to sing Danielle's praises. The words that come to mind when I think of the things she brought to my pregnancy and birth experience are: advocacy, support, love, attention, sincerity, creativity, and honesty. Danielle devoted her whole self to what turned out to be a very long, involved birth process, and she always had the best interest of me, my husband, and my baby at heart. I honestly don't know what we would have done without her support and advocacy. She was absolutely key in making sure I got what I needed in terms of nourishment, rest, and care, and she moved mountains to get me in with a fantastic OB when I needed to transfer and was on a time crunch due to labor slowing down and my membranes having been ruptured.
Danielle was also incredible at facilitating all kinds of strategies to help during labor, while also fostering continued connection between my husband and myself. She felt both like a part of our family and gave us total space intuitively when we needed. We will absolutely be hiring her for future pregnancies and cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone out there considering a doula!
