Testimonial for Danya Sands
Danya was an amazing source of support for us as our postpartum Doula! We can't recommend her highly enough for postpartum doula support. Our first child, a baby girl, was born in late May 2024, and Danya supported us with day and overnight visits for the first ~12 weeks. We had found Danya through DoulaMatch.net, interviewed her over zoom, followed by an in-person visit to our home, and we chose to work with her based on her experience and *vibes*! It was the best decision we made going into the wild unknown of new parenthood. Danya was as generous with us in her care as though we were her own family. She is an excellent communicator, her love for our baby girl was palpable and moving, and her deep commitment to supporting postpartum care givers, especially birthing parents, was truly transformative for us (espcially me as the new mom). She helped us (especially mom) get precious sleep with her overnights, knowing our baby was in amazing hands. She reduced maternal anxiety with her knowledge and offers to do internet research to avoid my google spiraling, made delicious healthy food to support postpartum recovery, gave invaluable advice on breasfeeding, infant care, and postpartum care (padsicles!!), and generally held our hands metaphorically and literally for those precious first weeks of new parenthood. We have come to regard Danya as a friend and a cherished member of our Seattle area family (both of our birth families live far away), and she'll be receiving invites to all babygirl-related celebrations for years to come! Danya was also always on time and pro-active in her communication; generally she was incredibly easy to work with. If we end up having another child, we would be lucky to work with Danya again. We had to say "see you later" to Danya last month, and it was so emotional and sad that she would no longer be a part of our weekly lives for the time being. We love Danya!
