Testimonial for Danae Johnson
We are truly so glad that Danae was our doula. We did not decide until 36 weeks that we wanted to have a doula be a part of our birthing team. During our search for a doula, we knew Danae was the right fit for us-- she was so genuine and passionate about advocating for our birthing preferences. It was so amazing that she was willing to drive out to our house to meet with us prior to our birth and a second time over zoom to further discuss our birth plan. We felt at ease knowing that we had someone in our corner to educate us on the stages of labor and delivery and our options. This allowed us to feel well informed going into our birth. Fast forward to our acutal labor and delivery experince-- Danae was absolutly amazing in action. She was only a text/phone call away when our labor started. She was able to walk us through next steps and then met us at the hosptial when our labor had progressed. I immediately felt at peace once Danae arrived. She made the hosptial room a more relaxing vibe by adding tealight candles, essential oils and brought snacks that she knew a laboring mom would find appetizing. She was very hands on during my contractions, which allowed my husband to be up by my head, giving emotional support throughout labor. After our precious miracle was born, Danae ensured baby had a good latch and that both Mom and Dad had food on the way. To top it off, she also took beautiful pictures that we wll truly cheerish forever. We plan on having more children in our future and can't wait to work with Danae again :-)
