Meet your doula

I'm Danielle — and I believe every birth deserves a witness.

Certified Birth Doula · Somatic Trauma Informed Perinatal Coach · Whiteman AFB Area

My story

Born from lived experience, built on decades of service

My path to birth work didn't start in a classroom — it started in the rooms where women were scared, alone, and unheard. As a Victim Advocate and Single Parent Advocate since 1999, I've spent over two decades walking alongside people in their most vulnerable moments. That work shaped everything about how I show up in the birth space.

I'm a military spouse — now a retired military family — which means I understand the unique pressures of navigating pregnancy and birth while a partner is deployed, while you're new to a base, while your care team changes every PCS. I have base access for in-home appointments at Whiteman AFB, and I bring that insider understanding to every family I serve.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Alternative Medicine and am certified through BirthWorks International. My training in somatic, trauma-informed care means I approach every birth with an awareness of how the body holds past experiences — and how the right support can help you move through them, not around them.

My philosophy

Nobody should give birth alone.

That's not just a tagline — it's the conviction that drives every decision I make as a doula. Whether you have a partner in the room, a whole village, or just me, you deserve someone whose only job is to be completely present for you.

I support unmedicated and medicated births, hospital and home births, planned C-sections and unexpected ones. I support your choices — not my preferences. My role is to make sure your voice is heard, your options are clear, and your experience is yours.

Who I serve

Every family. Every birth.

Military Families

I understand deployments, PCS moves, and navigating new care teams. I have base access at Whiteman AFB for in-home prenatal visits.

Single Parents

You don't have to do this alone. I've been a Single Parent Advocate since 1999 and I show up for you the same way I would for any family.

Survivors

Survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, or previous traumatic births deserve trauma-informed, compassionate care. I see you and I'm here.

Non-Military Families

You don't need a military connection to work with me. All expecting families in the Whiteman AFB area are welcome.
