Testimonial for Dana Gerschel (CD-DONA)
Dana assisted in our home birth, and we cannot say enough good things about her. She is truly an amazing, capable, and gentle person who is in tune with the birth process and someone you want on your side.
One of the benefits of home birth is knowing that your team is fully focused on you. Dana assisted in my 3rd home birth, and I know that other times there was TOO much attention on me. I never mentioned this to Dana, yet she somehow was very aware to give me and my husband our space during labor. She was close by enough to be attentive while also letting us have our space. One of the things that really stood out to me was how she noticed every time a contraction started and jumped right up, asking permission to assist. It was really comforting to know that I did not have to 'announce' or 'time' the contractions, as Dana knew when she was needed.
Throughout the process, she was gentle and available. When I needed to shower, when I needed privacy, when I need help, she was ready for all of it! I cannot recommend her enough times and she is definitely a person you need on your birthing team.
