Testimonial for Danette Siegel
Danette is an awesome Doula!
She is a highly passionate, knowledgeable, supportive, and dedicated doula. To start with, she has a background in engineering and explains the pregnancy and birth processes in a technically sensible way rather than saying some mambo jambo happens and the baby is born. I am also a very technically minded person, I found the birth education piece of her program very satisfactory and well-rounded. It included a diversity of topi S like fetus' development, pregnancy stages, delivery, and postpartum stage. She has been very informative about how to make a birth plan and what options are available. She has been also very comforting. As someone with advanced maternal age and a rare autoimmune disease, I was scared and anxious about the later stages of pregnancy and birthing. Danette brought so much comfort and peace of mind to me that I felt easy and light. I didn't feel the need for anybody else like my mom to be present during delivery or soon after. For pregnancy support, I found the body works portion of Danette's program very well thought out and she spent the time and energy to customize it to my needs. For example, if I have some tension in a specific part of my body, she suggested exercises for releasing that particular area. She has been very dedicated during birth too. Our early labor was in new years eve but she made herself available the whole night. I felt her support throughout my pregnancy and onward with her postpartum check ins, which were very educative and supportive. She did a lot for me and my husband to become more confident in taking care of the baby and the healing process both mentally and physically. She could put us in contact with the right people like an osteopath or a pelvic floor specialist right away, who were also very instrumental and helpful. I am glad that Danette was our doula and she has become more of a friend to us. We are very thankful for her! Overall, I highly recommend her.
