Beloved Birth & Baby, Lactation Counselor, Doula & Sleep Consultant

My fiancée and I really enjoyed our class with Danielle and Ashlie.We felt comfortable and welcomed and the intimacy of the class allows you to get to know everyone well with plenty of time for questions. We gained a lot of knowledge on what to expect when bringing baby home and we left the class with a new confidence to properly care for our son.

I can’t express my gratitude enough for all the support and knowledge I received from Danielle. I am a queer identified, single mom by choice and before I gave birth, I chatted with several doulas & lactation consultants to see who I felt the most comfortable with considering my unconventional path to motherhood.
