Cheyenne Birth Doula

Birth is better with a Doula ❤️

As your birth doula, my goal is for you to have an empowered, informed, and supported entrance into motherhood… however that looks for you! My doula work begins during your pregnancy and has a heavy emphasis on childbirth education, self-advocacy, and mental and emotional wellbeing. I’ve seen firsthand how these three factors can transform a birth experience into something magical and profound.

Birth can take so many different paths, and we will explore all its possibilities and come up with a plan together…. helping you feel prepared and confident when the big day finally arrives. And of course, I will be right by your side providing continuous labor support and encouragement as you meet your baby. You’ve got this!

Research-Based evidence on Doulas

A 39% decrease in the risk of C-Section

A vaginal birth is more likely with continuous labor support from a doula.

15% increase in the likelihood of spontaneous vaginal birth

With a doula, it is more likely to have a vaginal birth without labor-inducing drugs, or instrument-assisted delivery.

Education, advocacy, physical support, and emotional support from a doula can increase the chance of birth satisfaction.

Meet Danielle

I want you to know: You are safe with me. You don’t have to act a certain way with me… just let go. Be silly, scared, brave, frustrated, loud, ecstatic, and everything in between. Regardless of how wild or chaotic your birth may seem to you, I promise to showcase its beauty.

I’m a mother, wife, artist, doula, educator, and advocate.

I truly believe that positive birth experiences can change motherhood, and therefore change the world. EVERY person deserves to have an empowering and informed birth experience.

Are you ready to do this?

love notes from families

“Danielle shared a ton of resources to help both me and my husband prepare for the big day, and I appreciated her being available whenever I had questions. When delivery day came, her presence and support were incredibly helpful: after birth in the hospital, I remember feeling confident and empowered that I could try to do it again at home.”

~Mary

“I hired Danielle to be my and doula when I found out I was pregnant with my daughter. She was absolutely incredible during my pregnancy and so so supportive. I loved our appointments together and felt she really knew what she was doing throughout this entire journey. She was always there for me when I needed it most.”

~Emily

“Danielle provided me with amazing support throughout all of my pregnancy, labor, and is still someone I can reach out to today, 8 weeks post partum, if I needed to talk! I had a 9 hour unmedicated labor and I know that if Danielle hadn't been on my birth team it probably would have turned out much differently. She provided so much knowledge about counter pressure, ideas for position changes, and encouragement from the time she showed up at my house to three hours after baby was born!”

Questions about

  • Usually, I do not offer doula support as a stand alone service without photography. I’ve seen that the addition of birth photography does wonders for birth processing. HOWEVER, I have made exceptions in the past for people who feel I am the perfect doula for them but are opposed to photography in their birth space.

  • Being on-call means I am fully available to you 24/7, day or night, and ready to join you whenever you are ready. I do not travel more than 30 minutes from home, I do not engage in any activities that would interfere with driving, and I have my phone on and nearby 24/7. It also means I have gas in my car, and my bags packed and ready!

  • I do not place a time limit on birth doula support. I join you once you have reached a strong active labor pattern, or as soon as you request my presence, and remain with you up to 2 hours postpartum. I’ll be there as long as I need to be!

  • Absolutely! It is an immense honor to join you during your cesarean birth. Ceasrean moms still benefit from the education, advocacy, and emotional support that a doula can provide.

    Be aware that some doctors or hospitals have policies against me being in the OR, but I’ve had many clients fiercely self-advocate and my presence has been granted. If you hire me for a planned vaginal birth and end up with an unplanned c-section, I will do my best to join you in the OR. If that is not possible, I will rejoin you as soon as possible in the PACU.

  • If you have a spouse or other birth partner, please know that I am never there to replace them! I know birth, your partner knows you, and together we make an amazing support team. I can support and educate your partner on how to be helpful to you in labor. I will teach them how to do hip squeezes, reassure them that things are normal, or explain what they are seeing if they are confused.
