I love Daniella - as simple as that, and I'll tell you why. My husband and I went through the IVF process and when I got pregnant, I know that I wanted to have an experienced doula by my side to support, empower, and guide me through the birthing process. She was not only an extra set of hands, but also an expert. Daniella taught us SO much. Each time she came to our house, she gave us her full attention and time, nothing felt cut off...she taught us a lot which led us to be empowered during the birthing experience and IN CONTROL!
I'll talk about the birthing process...in short, I could NOT have done this without Daniella. I went through a 28 hour labor and 4 hour delivery. Daniella didn't sleep the entire time and helped me be as comfortable as throughout the labor. I'd spent 6ish hours without medication, and Daniella helped me through EACH contraction and poured her heart and energy each time. We had hiccups with baby position, potential c section, and had to game plan. She was a trusted partner and consultant between my husband and I - we were like a team! She got along great with nursing staff as well and made the delivery room so relaxing and calming.
For the delivery...I spent 4 hours pushing...every contraction, Daniella was there to hold my head during the push...she was there to lay my head back down after the push, and she was there to wipe sweat off my forehead, fanned me, and massaged the pain away as I waited for the next contraction to hit. This was 4 hours straight! My husband helped hold my leg up and the nurse helped to hold the other. Daniella really gave it her all in helping me in this birthing experience and was genuinely invested in me.
Her personality is also VERY warm...and I have no regret hiring her for my first and second births.
