My husband and I were so thankful to have Danae’s support and expertise throughout the entire birthing process. The prenatal meetings were comprehensive, informative, and helped us both feel confident in our birth plan and about the labor and delivery process. Danae took the time to understand our values and preferences and was an invaluable resource as we evaluated various decisions.
When our plans abruptly changed to an induction for medical reasons, Danae helped us evaluate the options available and was wholeheartedly supportive as we made decisions. She helped us advocate for ourselves with the medical staff and consistently reminded us to take the time we needed to discuss our options and make informed decisions. She helped with various positions to help with pain management and to keep labor progressing. Her encouragement and support were a huge reason I was able to have the unmedicated birth I hoped for. And the pictures she took are a quality way for us to cherish a very significant day for our family.
We appreciated the care and kindness she extended during the postpartum period as well. She was consistent with texts, emails, resources, and visits to support all three of our physical and emotional well-being.
We would wholeheartedly recommend Danae to anyone looking for doula support through their labor and delivery.
