Testimonial for Danielle Randell CD(DONA)
I will never have a baby without Danielle's presence in that delivery room!My husband and I attended Hypnobirthing classes during my pregnancy and these classes taught us a lot about what to be aware of in a hospital setting for deliveries. I have a healthcare background(Registered Nurse)so dilvering in the hospital was something I was used to and it didn't make me fearful!The classes we took taught us that when you are in the states that you are during the laboring process, it's sometimes hard to advocate for yourself.And same for your partner. So, they kept mentioning the benefit of hiring and having a doula! This was something we have heard if but did not think it would be worth it.Well, as we got closer to our due date,we realized that having a doula might be somthing we would want!2 weeks out from having our baby girl is when we reached out to Danielle!Danielle was willing to take us on as a client even though we reached out last minute! This we are forever thankful for!She was very communicative with me via text and phone call. In fact, she actually was always sending like text check ins checking in on me thorugh the remainder of my pregnancy!She was very hands on, advocated for us, asked the healthcare team importnant questions that we did not know to ask,and made sure our delivery was as smooth as possible! I loved that she never judged and always supported us with what we wanted!She helped me get into stretches and movements to progress as naturally as I could before needing more intervention.And she supported us during those interventions!One thing I REALLY loved about Danielle is that she brought her professional camera with her to capture the raw moments of the whole process.These photos were VERY moving and I know we would not have anything like that if we didn't hire her.She also sent us a very detailed birth timeline with timestamps of everything that occurred so we could look back and remember those moments as detailed a possible
