We cannot say enough how wonderful it was having Danae with us throughout our birthing process. This was our first child and Danae was able to guide us through the stages of pregnancy, delivery and postpartum. It was particularly nice for us as she recently gave birth at the same birthing center as we were using!
Danae made us feel comfortable immediately as she is very easy to talk with and knowledgeable about the birthing process and provides techniques to manage the process. She answered all of our questions and provided us with information on things we did not even think of!
The birthday went great with help from Danae. Our water broke and Danae answered immediately (even in the middle of the night!) to guide us through the beginning of our labor. Danae was quick to supply her assistance in person with a visit to our home where she guided us through early contractions. She was instrumental when it came to active labor, as she communicated with our birth center and took control of the situation to get us to our birth center in time. Her ability to calm my nerves during the active labor contractions with her supportive positivity made me feel like I could do this! Her guidance through breathing techniques and laboring positions was great! She took great care of us, ensuring we were hydrated, fed and comfortable.
Danae captured the moment beautifully. We have many beautiful family photos and a detailed timeline to encapsulate our baby’s birth-day! Danae was extremely discrete when taking pictures as we didn’t even realize she captured so many beautiful moments!
The postpartum meetings, texts and calls were also tremendously helpful as she guided us through the caring process for newborns. Her expertise in breast feeding, bathing, diaper duties and general overall care was extremely beneficial.
