Words from former clients:
"From the prenatal support, advice, research, and information she provided, to the prenatal visit (which included our support people), to the time she spent at the birth center with me during my labor and after; the breastfeeding support she provided, and the postpartum visit--hiring Dana was one of the best decisions we made during my pregnancy (besides our decision to pursue a non-medicated birth center birth)." - Sarah B.
"Having Dana as our doula was one of the best things that we could have done preparing for the birth of our baby. She helped us learn about Hypnobabies for the birth and supported us very step of the way. (The hypnosis worked beautifully and we ended up with a wonderful, drug-free birthday for our son.) She was able to think of things and guide us through situations we never would have considered as problems arose and we needed to change our birth plan. She also recognized our previous loss and the emotional toll it took on this pregnancy. Since Dominic's birthday Dana has continued to be there to support us and answer our questions about having a new born. We would highly recommend her to anyone having a baby." - John S.
"When I felt like I couldn't go on any further Dana was right there encouraging me reminding me this was a labor of love while being completely in tune with my every need." - Jacqueline H.
"Dana attended my birth in May 2014. It was my 5th baby, but my first time having a doula. I am actually a doula myself and so I was acutely aware of the different dynamics each person brought to the birth. My MW [midwife] had 1 job, her assistant had another. My mother, while very loving, also had a different role to play. My husband is a great support, but in the end, having a Dana was vital. She understood my tension and anxieties. She was a wonderful 'safe space' for me to rely on." - Heidi W.
