Testimonial for Danielle Randell CD(DONA)
I am so ecstatic to write about our experience with Danielle because it has been a literal dream from the beginning. I hired her early on in my 1st tri with my 4th pregnancy. I have had 1 vaginal birth and 2 c-sections prior to this one and I was REALLY hoping for a VBAC. After doing some research on doulas in my area, I stumbled upon Danielle just from referrals on other FB mom groups etc. It felt so natural talking to her and laughing with her, I had no doubt she was my GIRL. She immediately gave me hope and reassurance regarding my doubts on having a VBAC and past birth traumas and I felt so supported and uplifted from the moment we first spoke. Along with her continued friendship and support, she had connections for chiropractic care, prenatal masseurs and after some serious conversations, directed me to the best care providers (my midwife) I could ask for. She has strong bonds with really great people in the industry and I'm forever thankful for her guidance. She took time to call me and talk to me about any and everything regarding my emotions and how I was feeling physically throughout my entire pregnancy. There was never a moment I felt I couldn't call and cry to her, lol. And there was a lot of crying... from me! As my birth became nearer, fear crept in, doubt crept in, and she was my PERSON. It was such a relief for myself, and my husband to have someone there to guide us and make us feel at peace. The birth of our first daughter and fourth child was EXACTLY how we dreamt it would be. And I owe a large portion of that to Danielle for sticking with me and fighting for my VBAC. Her presence during my labor and delivery was exactly what I needed and I never once felt scared or alone with her being there. I could rant for hours about the calmness I felt in her being there for me. And then the photos she took! Somehow with one hand on the camera, the other holding my leg? I mean, that's dedication. Thank you forever Danielle!
