As a fellow birth worker, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Danielle and seeing her heart for supporting new families. She is warm, compassionate, and truly cares about the parents she serves. I would gladly recommend her to anyone welcoming a new baby!

I’ve had the chance to work closely with Danielle in past roles, and what has always stood out to me is her dedication and follow-through. She’s thoughtful, incredibly organized, and makes decisions based on research and real results which translates so beautifully into her work as a postpartum doula. More than anything, Danielle truly cares. She’s passionate and deeply knowledgeable about all things motherhood and will show up for you in a way that feels steady and supportive. She has a calming, grounding presence that will make you feel safe, heard, and confident during such an important season. Any family working with Empowered After Birth is in such good hands. She will absolutely be your biggest advocate!
