Testimonial for Danielle Randell CD(DONA)
When I first met Danielle she had me in tears (of relief!) in the first 5 minutes. I felt totally comfortable and supported. Whether I chose her that day or not, she recommended Ellie Tan, the mid-wife to me. I did use that recommendation, which ended up being another huge success. It was extra beneficial because the two of them have a great relationship which allowed them to communicate with each other while I labored. From the moment I did go into labor Danielle was there offering suggestions and recommendations. She acknowledged all my feelings, walked through different options, and provided guidance when I needed it. In the meantime, she kept me moving and putting me in different positions which helped bring the baby down smoothly. She destigmatized certain procedures for me, and never judged my choices. She reassured me and communicated clearly with the team along the way. The entire staff adored her. I had placental abruption which meant my daughter needed to be delivered that day, two weeks early, but despite that, this team never used scare tactics. They gave me time and space to make decisions. Because of this team, I had a smooth delivery with no damage to my undercarriage. This was not true of my first delivery. I will be forever grateful to Danielle and this team.
Also, the pictures she took are absolutely incredible. You can see the love between my husband and I and our daughter. I cannot recommend her, or Ellie, enough.
