You were a wonderful contributor to my pregnancy care! I can't tell you enough how much I enjoyed doing yoga with you. I think that it was a significant help to my labor and delivery. My doula and the nurses at Cedars kept commenting on how well I maintained focus during a grueling labor and delivery. They were also impressed that I was able to push out such a large baby in a short amount of time (it felt like forever, but it was about 30 minutes of pushing). I learned a tremendous amount from you and felt well prepared! Thank you so much!

Danielle was my pre-natal yoga instructor throughout my entire pregnancy. She was always incredibly well prepared for our sessions and stayed very much in tune with my limitations and needs as a pregnant woman. I always felt very safe in her capable hands, and as a result, asked Danielle to help me through the postpartum stage as well. Danielle spent two wonderful weeks helping my family adjust to the new baby. I trusted that she was seeing to the baby's needs while I caught up on some much needed rest. My husband and I missed her dearly when her two weeks with us were up.
I know that the pre-natal yoga we practiced together helped me bounce back more quickly once the baby was born, and I still do some of the poses she taught me. I couldn't recommend Danielle as a postpartum doula more, as she is a loving, calm presence in the midst of the chaos a new baby can bring into the home. I don't know what my family, including my 3-year-old daughter, would have done without her in those first weeks.

I serendipitously met Danielle in the beginning of my pregnancy and am so blessed that I did. She has made the last several months so enjoyable and special by helping me physically with prenatal yoga and emotionally with all of her helpful knowledge and support.
Her presence and involvement as a doula during my labor was incredibly valuable - i¹m sure my husband would agree! Danielle made me feel comforted in a way that, nothing personal guys, only a woman can. She helped soothe me during a challenging natural birth. And from the moment my son was born, she was so loving and helpful as a postpartum doula. I am deeply grateful for the wonderfully positive role that she has played in our lives.

My wife and I adore Danielle . . .The free and easy spirit she brings to her classes makes our time spent with her fun, comfortable and relaxing --- like hanging out with an old friend. Our sessions with Danielle have not only played a huge part in my wife and I preparing for the birth of our child, but they've also helped get closer as a couple. If Danielle were purple than purple would be my favorite color.

Danielle brought a calm presence and wealth of information to our birthing process. We truly appreciated having her with us during this journey. She was professional, dependable, and very informed. Thanks Danielle!

You can tell by the way Danielle teaches prenatal yoga that she is a very thoughtful and caring person. What I enjoyed most about her yoga class was her clear and precise instruction. Everything flowed so beautifully and effortlessly that I forgot I was even in a class. When my husband and I interviewed her to be our birth doula, she made us feel very comfortable as if we were in the presence of an old friend. 
Danielle supplied us with a lot of information and resources about birth in general that helped us in making the best decisions on how we wanted to birth. She is also a strong supporter of natural birth and an organic lifestyle. Danielle had a very calming presence at my birth and she was very loving and thoughtful in everything she said and did. Both my husband and I felt very secure in her presence. It made all the difference for husband that we had a doula, because even after taking a birthing class and talking about what role he would play during the birth, when I went into labor it was challenging for him. When Danielle arrived she reminded him of his role and kept him focused on how he could help me the most.

Danielle has a rare gift in her ability to stay conscious and available through a long, arduous labor. I felt such grace and ease around her due to her constant ability to be present with me no matter what. Oh! And she was REALLY sweet to my dog and husband too!

The relief and assurance we gained in knowing Danielle would be there advocating for us and assisting with positions and techniques was in and of itself invaluable and very comforting.

"Danielle provided the perfect level of support for us during our labor and delivery of our son in December 2008. 
From massage to music to handholding (all requested by me!), we are so happy with our decision to have had a doula and to have found Danielle. She helped infuse our hospital birth with spirituality and gentleness, and she'll always be a part of Leo's life."
— Alex & Seth
Danielle is very serious about her work as a doula. She takes nothing fro granted and was available 24/7 when we needed her for
anything. She has a positive energy and a soothing voice!
