When I found out I was pregnant I knew I needed a doula. I started a search with anxiety running high. I connected with Dana, after multiple women suggested her. Instantly, I felt like I was talking to an old friend. She made me feel comfortable and was very supportive in figuring out my wants and needs in the birthing process. She prepared me throughout the pregnancy decreasing my fears and anxieties.
Dana also is very involved with getting women together to encourage growth, love and support! I was able to connect to other pregnant women during my pregnancy in a women's circle through Dana's encouragement. It was a unique and bonding experience.
The day of labor, Dana got the phone call at 3 am, and was there within the hour. We spent the next 17 hours, laughing, telling jokes and bonding. All while she advocated for my needs, made sure I was comfortable, talked me through the process and made the room serene (flawless candles, essential oils and light music). I couldn't have asked for a better experience.
Dana is not only a doula she becomes a friend. She is a special person.
