Testimonial for Dannah Norris
It is difficult to articulate just how wonderful Dannah is, and what she means to our family. She is simply the best. Dannah supported my husband and I through the delivery of our baby and as a post-partum doula after he was born. She has an incredible talent of meeting you where you are emotionally, and supporting you in ways you didn't know you needed. She thoughtful, caring, and truly a gift in our lives.
Leading up to birth she was incredibly supportive and there for me as the birthing person. She met all my questinos with a robust and diverse library of resrouces. She got a detailed sense of how my husband and I operate and made sure that the way that she prepared us for labor was matched with our personalities. For example, we're both type-A information seekers - as such, prior to having the baby Dannah walked through step by step what to expect, down to when we would be moving rooms. This set us up for success and gave us a tremndous amount of comfort going into the big day.
During labor she brought encouragment, a sense of calm, and levity just when I needed it. This was everything from a gentle touch of my hand, to proacitvey setting up the bath for when contractions got intense. Having her there made all the difference.
Finally, after our son arrived she showed my husband and I (first time parents) how to care for our baby in a tender and intuitive way. Similar to my pregnancy she had suggestions for every challenge we faced in the early days. She was by my side for the laughter, tears, and extreme vulnerability of brining home a newborn and her compassion and care made me a better parent.
Dannah is increidble and I am eternally grateful to have her my family's life!
