“Daniela changed our birthing process completely with just her presence.
From the moment she entered the house, I felt an immediate sense of calm and added strength. Dani understands deeply the journey into mothering and bringing in new life. She knew intuitively and perfectly the words to say, the tone, the touch i needed to be able to open to this magnificent portal we call birth.
It was our second child. A beautiful, speedy 4 hr active labour before an amazing water birth in the pool in our living room. And I know in my heart, she did half the work with me. What a blessing, thank you Dani!”
