I feel so blessed that we had Danae as our doula. Throughout my entire pregnancy Danae went above and beyond for me. This was my second pregnancy cause I had a traumatic experience with my first and I wanted a better birthing experience. Danae educated me and helped me understand and decide what I wanted for a birth plan. She helped me feel confident and strong going into birth and also prepared us with some amazing pain coping techniques that really came in handy at home and at the hospital. She always answered any questions I had and would follow up with us after my appointments. Danae made sure we were on the same page, really taking the time to understand and listen to what we wanted/needed.
When we were all at the hospital she knew exactly what I needed, she encouraged and empowered me, knew how to calm and relax me, and help ease my pain. We were so lucky to have found her for our birth journey, before, during and afterwards. After giving birth and being home, she checked in with us to see how things were going and to go over what happened. She even typed out our timeline which was so nice! Everything happens so quickly sometimes you don't even remember, so that was a nice keepsake. It's the little things you don't even think about, and she was just prepared with this and everything else! She has a bubbly, fun, loving personality that makes you feel like you've known her forever. I needed someone like that since I wanted to feel comfortable and it be like having a friend in the room to help guide and support me through all of the joy and pain of labor and delivery. She's truly amazing! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula.
