Testimonial for Danielle Randell CD(DONA)
I'm a first time mom, and I really had no idea what I was signing up for when I decided to hire Danielle (or any doula for that matter!). I knew I wanted to try for an unmedicated birth, and because of my background in healthcare I knew that I had a better chance of achieving that goal with a doula by my side. What I found while working with Danielle was someone who truly cared about me and my family, and advocated for me when no one else would to ensure that I had a beautiful birth experience.
Danielle will take the time to educate you on all things pregnancy related, and help you find resources to ensure you feel empowered in the decisions you make leading up to your due date. Closer to delivery she will visit you in your home to review the difference stages of labor, give you some advice on what is actually helpful to buy/take to the hospital, and answer any questions that you may have.
During my labor Danielle was able to watch my contraction patterns and worked to reposition me (many times) to ensure my baby had the best chance at descending into the birth canal without any issues. She helped me use different techniques to control my pain, and was there to support my husband and me every single step of the way. My labor and delivery experience would have looked MUCH different if Danielle hadn't been there - and not in a good way.
It really is hard to find words that convey the positive impact Danielle will have on your pregnancy/labor/postpartum experience. She is worth her weight in gold, and you will not regret choosing her to come alongside you on this wild ride! We will be contacting her immediately if/when we even think about trying to conceive again - she's part of the family now!
