Testimonial for Danette Siegel
Danette was an invaluable resource for both our pregnancy and birth. The amount of education and visual aids she provided before the birth really helped to give us an idea of all the ways that our birth might go. She also guided us as we decided what was most important to us, which was so helpful because the amount of information about birth is immense. She gave us information about both sides of things and offered evidence-based resources. When it came to the actual birth we are so happy to have had Danette there! My labor went much faster than expected and I opted for an epidural as planned. After the epidural, I was exhausted and just wanted to sleep and Danette made sure to keep things going while I rested by moving me and setting me up with peanut balls and essential oils and more. Knowing what you want and actually carrying it out in the middle of labor is very different and I’m so grateful Danette was there to keep things going so I could focus on resting. She advocated for us with the staff and encouraged me the whole time and we had the best experience. We ended up having excellent midwives and nurses who encouraged us to have the exact birth we wanted and respected our choices and wishes (which is not the experience that many people have) and even still, we benefitted from having Danette as our doula.
