With an innate passion for babies and their families, Danielle has an insightful and peaceful presence as a postpartum doula. Her compassion and understanding grew for the postpartum period after having her own set of Irish twins. Two little boys, resulting from back to back pregnancies a little over 7 years ago, gave her the wonderful experience of parenting that she wanted to share. Many of her friends called on her for advice and emotional support through their own pregnancies and postpartum times. ​ Knowing this life-changing time in a person's life should not be spent alone, and believing she could help, Danielle followed her goals and became officially certified in 2023. Completing ProDoula’s program has given her the confidence and ability to help all those in the postpartum stage of life. Although her degree in elementary education isn’t front and center anymore, all the years in child development and classroom management have given her even more tools to become a successful doula. ​ Danielle has been a doula to many clients, friends and family members. She realizes her unbiased strengths in this field are worthy of a true career and cannot wait to meet and guide new families through this time.

When it comes to the birth space, my goal is to support you in any of your choices, even if they change. I focus on inclusivity (I work towards anti-racism, anti-transphobia, anti-fatphobia, and disability visibility). I am an advocate and guardian in the birth space. I have a lot of passions and interests and have books on everything from rain, moss, clouds, pregnancy, birth, parenting, and death. when I am your Doula, I’m your friend. Not only do I provide comfort and knowledge, but I’m also here for you to confide in, talk things through, and laugh with! Sometimes I’m witchy, sometimes I’m crunchy, sometimes I’m basic, sometimes I’m punky. That’s me!

Recent review

I recently had the pleasure of working with an exceptional doula for the birth of my twin boys, and I can't recommend her enough. From our first meeting, it was evident that she was highly educated and knowledgeable about childbirth, which immediately put me at ease. Throughout my pregnancy and labor/delivery, she provided unwavering support, offering valuable advice and comfort. Her presence during labor was incredibly reassuring. My doula played a crucial role in helping me achieve the natural birth I desired. If you're looking for a doula who is compassionate, skilled, and committed to your birth experience, look no further. Worth every penny trust me!

Mom of 6 and grandma of 2 (so far!), I am also a Dona trained and certified post partum doula and night nanny. Having years of experience providing care for newborns and new moms, I became a doula to help families transition their new members home. I still remember the anxiety of being home alone for the first time with a newborn! I would love to meet with you and talk about our services and how we can help your growing family adjust more smoothly... Background check, CPR certification and professional liability insurance required for all our doulas. References available, just ask!
