Testimonial for Dannah Norris
tl;dr – Dannah is a fantastic birth and postpartum doula! I wouldn't hesitate for recommend her!
Dannah was our birth and postpartum doula for my first daughter. We interviewed several doulas, but Dannah stood out exceptionally personable, organized, and evidence-based in her approach. She met with us several times before the birth to walk us through expectations, recommended a fantastic childbirth class, and gave me great tips for managing late pregnancy discomfort.
During the birth, Dannah was a constant source of stability. My labor progressed quite quickly, so she met us at the hospital. While I was quickly fully dilated, my daughter wasn't tolerating labor that well and pushing wasn't going well. Working with the doctors, Dannah helped me find positions that suited both me and baby, and eventually suggested the pushing position that got her out. Without Dannah, it ws very likely I would have gotten an episotomy, as my doctor was suggesting it if birth did not progress.
After the birth, Dannah provided supportive childcare, demonstrated different soothing methods, and generally helped us adjust to being new parents. I felt very comfortable with her in my home and with my daughter.
If you're considering working with Dannah, don't hesitate :)
