Testimonial for Danielle Cruz CD(DONA) Postpartum Doula, Childbirth and Lactation Educator(LCCE) CLE
Before meeting up with Danielle, I really did not know what having a doula would look like as an expecting dad. Would it be invasive? Would it be weird? Would it be irritating? Would she try to take over my role? With Danielle, the answer to all of these was a resounding NO. She was absolutely wonderful on every account. Danielle not only brought experience, knowledge, and a vast array of resources, but more importantly she brought a tremendous amount of comfort, compassion and genuine friendship throughout the process. I would recommend Danielle to any expecting parents. We had all sorts of dumb questions, but we never felt dumb for asking them. She made us feel very comfortable as we encountered worry, anxiety or fear over a particular aspect of pregnancy or parenting strategy. My wife and I are forever grateful that Danielle was part of the process as we encountered a few health concerns during the birth process. She allowed for us to make a decision with some objective advice so that we could feel confident in having to make some big decisions. After our daughter was born, Danielle offered us pictures that she had taken and also came over a few times to allow my wife and I to get a few hours of uninterrupted sleep. She was a great doula, but more than that, she is a great person. We are very happy that she was involved in the birth of our daughter. Thank you, Danielle!
