Danae Birth Doula and Prenatal Yoga Specialist Sydney

Danae was instrumental in preparing us for our birth experience. She gave us several tools to handle the mental and physical challenge of a long labour. We were so grateful to have the OMP exercises and other tools available for us to call upon and we highly recommend Danae’s classes to all pregnant mums and dads. Her commitment and personal care also stood out and we will forever be grateful for her help.

Having Danae as a support person throughout my pregnancy and during the birth of my baby was invaluable. She was a great support to my partner too, he felt reassured by her presence. The Optimal Maternal Positioning protocols we learned with Danae saved me during labour by supporting my baby to find his way. I really enjoyed the weekly yoga classes too as preparation for birth. We highly recommend Danae and would love to engage her again.

Danae is an incredible doula. I truly believe she has been given a gift to support mothers bringing their babies into the world. After a traumatic first birth experience, I opted for a different support team for my 2nd birth whereby Danae worked closely with my OB and midwives at the hospital. From when we first met - I knew instantly that this lady would help me to be informed, advocate for me and empower me for the best birth experience I could possible have. I can’t recommend Danae highly enough!!

I can't speak highly enough about the impact Danae had on my pregnancy/birth of my second son! I never thought I would say how much I looked forward to and loved giving birth.We learned he was in breech position at about 30 weeks which was when I learned of Danae and reached out for advice on how to get him heads down position. Within minutes she called me and offered all of her resources even though I was not a client. She simply wanted to help me and I immediately felt her passion for what she does.I decided to go forward with aiming for a natural birth with him still in the breeched position after not being able to get him to flip and knew I needed Danae's support as my doula to make this happen. Danae's approach has the perfect balance of providing researched expertise, her tremendous experience, and her warm empowering personality.The preparation and yoga exercises Danae took me through in the weeks leading up to the birth made me well prepared when I went into labour and the moment Danae walked into the delivery suite I felt calm, safe, and ready for what was to come.Danae was a huge part of my amazing birth story and I'm forever grateful she was part of it as our doula. My husband/I have repeatedly said how lucky we were to have Danae on our team advocating for, supporting, and comforting us.

Danae played a pivotal roll in my dream homebirth. She is the perfect balance of caring and encouraging and from the moment we first met, we knew the universe was looking out for us! Her years of experience with birthing women shows, especially having access to her weekly yoga classes (I will miss our Sundays together!) and Optimal Maternal Positioning course, which we found really interesting and complementary to other birth classes we had attended. Her support for not only me, but also my son and husband during our homebirth was exactly what we wanted, and her intuition for when to rest and move during labor was incredible. We couldn’t recommend Danae enough, she’ll always have a special place in family’s hearts.

Danae is a unique mix of warrior and mother. From our first meeting I knew this was the person I wanted to guide me through my birth. I went into the experience feeling empowered and educated and trusting my body. I had an incredible natural birth. I didn’t push once….my body did it all. I can’t thank Danae enough and I’m forever grateful. Xxx

I attended Danae’s OMP course prior to giving birth to my first baby. The course was both informational and empowering and is a must for anybody wanting to understand the birth process and most importantly learn tools that can help them have a healthy birth.I also attended Danae’s online yoga classes via Zoom - these are not your regular classes, Danae shares very helpful information in each class to help prepare you for birth as well as tools to use while in labour - this was great!Danae is knowledgeable, passionate and kind and I would highly recommend both her OMP course and yoga - I imagine having her as a doula would be wonderful!I had a great home birth without any intervention and I know that what I learnt from Danae contributed to that! Thank you Danae! Xo

Danae is an absolutely incredible woman who I could not recommend more highly as a doula and birth support person.We hired Danae for our second birth - and could not be more thrilled with our decision to do so.Being our second birth, there were a lot of things we felt we were unprepared for in the first birth. Never having experienced a birth there is only so much your medical team can prepare you for.Danae helped us prepare mentally, physically and emotionally for our second birth - and we achieved the physiological unmedicated birth that I really, really wanted to have. We truely would not have been able to do it without her support, training and care.Danae is obsessed with birth in the most beautiful way and we felt such comfort in having her not only in the room with us, but supporting us throughout the pregnancy, and in the early newborn days. Her OMP course was a practical and informative addition to birthing classes and her knowledge and resources on all things birth is broad and extensive. I was ableto contact her with any concerns, feelings or questions and she immediately sent research papers, podcasts and information to support me to make decisions around what I wanted and create an extensive birth plan that considered all possible scenarios. She gelled perfectly with our private hospital medical team and maintained the calm in the room allowing for moments of true connection with my husband. My birth bringing my gorgeous baby boy into this world was everything I wanted it to be and so so much more - and Danae was key for making this happen.If you’re on the fence about whether to hire a doula - you absolutely should, and I could not be happier with our choice of going with Danae.

Danae was our doula for the birth of our second son. We had a doula for our first born and while that wasn't the greatest doula experience, I knew I wanted to have that third person in the room and on our team for this birth too. My mate recomended Danae saying I never realised how much a doula can do until I had Danae at my birth" and on reflection

Hiring Danae to be our Doula for our second baby’s birth was the best decision we’ve ever made. This woman is a powerhouse. Her wealth of knowledge completely transformed my experience, confidence and expectations around birth. She guided me to feel empowered, educated and certainly stood behind me to find my voice and follow my intuition during this amazing journey. Her Optimal Maternal Positioning course and strategies were the most helpful tool I’ve yet to experience in birth prep. All of this leading up to the most amazing physiological birth, where Danae caught our daughter herself, as she was unexpectedly born in the car on the way to the hospital. I never could have done this without her. I couldn’t give someone a higher recommendation. We are eternally grateful!
