I’m a Los Angeles-based birth doula — also a wife, mother and dog-parent. My mission as a doula is to support & empower each client as they prepare for birth, guided by intuition, self-awareness, comfort + evidence-based knowledge. I trained at Bini Birth in 2022, and have spent the years since deepening my learning and preparing to support all types of births — including through my own birth prep (baby Elie joined us in 2024!). My path to this work likely began when I was 8 years old, attending the births of my nieces — though I didn’t know it then. Knowing now about the impact of doula-care, I’m so grateful for the opportunity to nurture my clients in their big threshold moments. When I’m not obsessing over the miracles of pregnancy and birth, I’m working on projects related to community, ritual, rites of passage and belonging — drawing on ancient wisdom as an antidote to modern loneliness (@OneTable). I’m passionate about helping my clients define and realize their intentions around birth, weaving that intention into the preparation process so they can approach their birth experience with clarity, confidence, and a real sense of empowerment.
✽ to start - a free zoom / phone consult - a chance to feel things out ✽ 3+ prenatal support meetings to discuss birth preferences, comfort measures, labor and postpartum - questions, concerns and needs - at home or virtually ✽ you’ll learn about pregnancy, anatomy, the stages & phases of labor, coping techniques & ✽ evidence-based information to help you make informed choices ✽ referrals to trusted resources for lactation, mental health, bodywork, and more ✽ overview of the basics of breastfeeding/ support if desired ✽ on-call beginning at 37 weeks ✽ emotional/ physical/ logistical support during labor & birth - I’ll be by your side and will support you as a primary or secondary birth partner (support for your partner, too!) ✽ video, call & text support outside of our prenatal meetings ✽ postpartum home visit
I adapt my offerings to the needs of each particular client - whether you’re looking for a sounding board, childbirth education, everything but the birth or full & consistent support & prep before & during your labor. I am committed to making my doula services accessible to as many families as possible. A sliding scale payment option is offered based on ability to pay. Please reach out to discuss specific needs to find a fee that works for you.
Dani is a pillar of love and support. She exemplifies a calm, nurturing presence no matter the circumstances, which always helps me feel at peace. She is an excited and attentive listener, always more than willing to lend an ear, talk things out, or offer thoughtful advice. Dani is an outstanding doula because of her genuine care, attention, and intelligence.

Dani is the epitome of warmth, kindness, and patience. She has such a soothing aura. She’s helped me through some challenging moments; I was grateful to have had her calming and wise presence by my side.

Danielle has mastered an exceptional ability to balance informed knowledge that is data driven with a compassionate sense of care and empathy that is truly unique in both a person and a Doula. I recommend her wholeheartedly as she has personally assisted me through challenges in the prenatal pelvic care, breast-feeding, and postpartum phases. She is an absolute gem!
