About me

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.

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.

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!
