Doula and Sleep Support
for Growing Families
In the Calgary Area
I am a mother of 4. I have raised a stepchild from the age of 3, had a 40-hour labour followed by an emergency cesarean birth, had an unmedicated v-bac (vaginal birth after a cesarean birth), and gave birth to a beautiful 26 and 5 preemie who lived for a short 5 days before passing away. I have experienced a lot and I have a lot of knowledge and love to share.
Hi, I’m Doula Danielle

Danielle was an absolute dream addition to our prenatal, labour, birth, and post partum. Her energy is very calm and patient, and she really knows her stuff. She’s very generous of her time, and really cares about not just baby, but Mom and Dad too. The whole experience would have been so much different without her!

Danielle is amazing with our toddler and our baby. She is kind, supportive, efficient, and intuitive. Our baby beams whenever he sees her! I would wholeheartedly recommend Danielle. Birth and postpartum can be a vulnerable time, and having someone like Danielle there would make such a difference.

Danielle helps our baby sleep, so mommy and daddy are happy. She’s so nice and makes our family feel good. Why can’t she stay always!?

We were so glad to have Danielle with us during labour and delivery. It really felt like we had a team in the room with us, and I think that is in large part thanks to Danielle.

We could not have had such a positive and calm birth if it weren't for Danielle. She supported me in having my dream, unmedicated, vaginal birth and for that I am so grateful.

Danielle was there for us every step of the way during the delivery and so involved post partum. She is easy to contact for a question or just reassurance. We can't say enough good things about Danielle!

I had a very difficult labor for 28 hours and I can't imagine how I would have coped without the support of Danielle, she helped me a lot. Danielle is also very educated and she gave me a lot of useful tips on child care that I use now and taught me the basics of child care. Danielle is an amazing doula and I highly recommend working with her.

Having Danielle as a support through my postpartum made the transition feel smooth and much less overwhelming than I had anticipated! She has such passion and knowledge about newborns, and is easy to trust and depend on! I would absolutely recommend her to others.

Danielle was a wonderful night doula for our newborn. She kept a detailed record of when our son woke up, ate (and how much), and what his diaper status was each time he woke up. She is very knowledgeable and we would definitely recommend her!

Danielle took care of our son very well and we never worried about him during the nighttime. She makes detailed notes of the activities on when he was getting feeding, sleeping, and diaper changes they were great and helpful. Danielle was on time and her knowledge of dealing with a newborn was impressive. Danielle even helped us with some of the questions we had after the end of her service and she is very approachable and supports newborns with any kind of doubts. It was totally worth hiring Danielle.

Danielle’s baby sleep course transformed our nights and her doula services brought calm when we felt overwhelmed. With limited family support, she became our trusted lifeline—practical, insightful, and comforting.

Ten out of ten! We can’t recommend Danielle enough to first time parents. In our prenatal meetings with Danielle she helped us create our birth plan, introduced us to Labour & Delivery (L&D) terminology, helped walk us through potential birth situations, and showed us spinning babies preparation exercises. While in L&D she was a calm presence when everything else felt chaotic for myself and my partner. Having an experienced doula by our side helped make the experience more manageable. Danielle continually reached out to us to check in postpartum and helped with breast feeding support. We are so happy we choose Danielle in joining our journey to become parents.

Danielle is great! She was able to come in and support me, my husband and my four month old baby when we were struggling. She had good tips for things we were finding challenging and took great care of all of us.

Danielle is an amazing doula and sleep expert. After struggling with our son’s sleep schedule for months, Danielle changed our family’s lives in three days. With her insight and guidance, we were able to make small changes that completely improved our son’s naps and overnight sleep. These were not sleep training methods— rather, Danielle gave us the confidence to take the steps we needed to support our child’s healthy sleep habits. I highly highly recommend her to any families with sleep issues— you don’t have to struggle!

Our experience with Danielle was so comforting. She was/is a warm, kind, and incredibly calm presence that brings moods and emotions down to a reasonable level. Her knowledge is vast and modern. She always gave us options and never pushed us one way or another. Even when our birth plan took a different path, she still continued to support us and make sure we had all the information to make the best decision for us. We never felt intimidated, ignored, or discouraged by Danielle. She gave us courage and strength to feel confident about being first time parents. We highly recommend her no matter your plan.

Danielle has worked with us since the twins were weeks old. Since that time she has become such a huge part of our world and the twins development. We were initially nervous to leave our twins in someone else's care overnight but within the first night we knew our twins were in the best hands. We learned so much from Danielle as she was the greatest resource. She is very knowledgeable and helped us work through the early months of parenthood when we had so many questions. Her experience shined throughout our time with her. The babies LOVE her and light up whenever she is around. To have her support during such a challenging time was a gift. She is kind, thoughtful, generous, gentle, and a joy to have around. You are incredibly lucky if you get to work with Danielle.

I don't know what I would have done without Danielle. I chose to work with her because of her vast life experience. She has been through loss, as I have, and had a successful VBAC, which I was aiming for. It was my first year in Canada, and I was terrified to give birth in a foreign country without the support of my family. My first child was born during the pandemic, in a c-section, so I was panicking about having to take care of two children alone with my husband again. The weeks prior to giving birth, she was essential to help me understand all of the questions and pressures surrounding me, as I was 40 years old, and thus constantly being pressured to go through an induction. I attempted doing a VBAC and ended up in and emergency c-section, and it was great to not have to worry about anything other than breathing while being in labour. Danielle explained me what was going on around me, helping me feel safe during the process. My husband and daughter stayed at home while I was in hospital with Danielle, and she made sure everyone felt safe and informed, including my husband. She gave me the support I didn't even know I would need, and sometimes I didn't even have to say anything, because she could just pick up in the air exactly what I needed. After my child was born, she did some postpartum visits, which made life a bit easier. Danielle is special, she has a genuine love for what she does, and you can feel that while being in her care. I felt heard, seen and cared about. We also had great laughs! Even going back and forth to the hospital while waiting for a spot, while being in a lot of pain, we had fun! I was able to relax and have fun because I felt safe with her.

Danielle is professional, competent and intuitive. As a first time mom, I had no idea what to expect during labour, so I hired Danielle as my birth doula. Danielle is confident in her abilities and kind in her approach. She helped me prepare for labour in our initial interview, introducing me to exercises and asking questions to prompt my thinking about a birth plan. I felt prepared when Labour Day finally came. Danielle arrived at the house before I was dilated enough to go to the birth centre. She put my worried family at ease. She knew when to call the midwife and what to do when my contractions became more intense. Danielle has MAGICAL massage hands! She encouraged me and helped my husband feel supportive during the labour process (it was his first time too!). I highly recommend Danielle as a doula if you want a positive, incredible birth experience like I had.

Hiring Danielle was the best decision we've made, especially when dealing with our colicky little one. Her patience and ability to comfort him, no matter how fussy he gets, are incredible. She's always on time, pays attention to the smallest details, and communicates everything so well. Having Danielle as our night doula has been an absolute blessing. She has not only met but exceeded the high standards we had hoped for in a caregiver. I trust her completely and am deeply grateful for the peace of mind she brings to our home each night. I cannot recommend Danielle highly enough. Any family would be lucky to have her support and expertise. She deserves all the recognition for the outstanding work she does, and I hope this review helps other parents find their way to her. Thank you, Danielle, from the bottom of our hearts, for everything.

I can't say enough positive things about the postpartum doula services provided by Danielle. When faced with an emergency during the birth, Danielle was a calm, knowledgeable presence, and helped us understand our options so that we could make the right decision. Her emotional support was invaluable during those uncertain moments and in the first few days postpartum. As first-time parents without family nearby, her expertise was a godsend. From swaddling techniques to baby care basics like nail-cutting and bathing, she patiently taught us everything we needed to know. And her dedication to our baby's well-being was evident in every interaction. We are beyond grateful for Danielle's support and highly recommend her services to any new parents in need of expert guidance.

Danielle was fabulous. She helped Rosa and me with getting our daughter to sleep, new foods, feeding techniques, and new cooking recipes. She was also kind and gentle with our daughter. We are very thankful for her excellent care!

We are very happy we purchased the labour and post-partum package from Danielle. Her easygoing and relaxed demeanour, thoughtfulness in regards to our needs, and knowledge about labour and newborns helped keep the energy calm, positive and relaxed for me. This extended into the overnight help we received from her the first week our baby boy came home. The testimonials on her website all held true. I would highly recommend Danielle if you are wanting extra support for this momentous life occasion!
