Testimonial for Danielle Randell CD(DONA)
I literally don't know what I would have done without Danielle leading up to and during labor and delivery. I was super on the fence of getting a Doula. I didn't know much about what they did or how they worked. I had a few calls with some other ones before meeting with Danielle and after 5 minutes of talking to Danielle, I knew she was who I wanted as our Doula. She made me feel so comfortable from the begining, answered all of my questions and supported any decisions I initially had about how I wanted my birth to go. When I first thought about giving birth, I thought we would take a few classes the hospital offered and then show up when we were ready. I had no idea how much more information was out there that I was missing or how to be an advocate for myself and our baby. I learned so much from Danielle and she was always responsive in answering my texts/calls when I had questions. When the time came and my water broke, I felt so calm and prepared. Danielle walked me through what was likely to come since we were delivering in a hosptial. She kept in touch with us while I was triage and then when contractions started picking up. Danielle got to the hospital at the perfect time, right when I was going into active labor... as she likes to say "where the work begins." She helped guide me into various positions to help and worked alongside my husband seamlessly. I delivered a healthy baby boy completely natural and truly could not have done it without her there. If you're on the fence of getting a doula, call Danielle. She is such a warm and kind soul and will be your advocate in every way. We laughed, we cried, listened to good music and she made my birthing experience one I will never forget. You bet come baby #2 Danielle will be there :).
