"Hiring Danielle to be our birthing doula was hands down THE BEST decision we made during our first pregnancy. Danielle’s knowledge, experience and genuinely calming nature proved to be absolutely invaluable from the moment we brought her on. I ended up having an EXTREMELY quick labor resulting in an unmedicated birth that I wasn’t exactly anticipating. Danielle was by our side talking us through every single moment, massaging me through contractions and helping my husband to stay calm in order to help keep me calm. I am confident that my labor would have looked very different had Danielle not been there with us through it all." Lauren, Wappingers Falls, NY
