Birth Doula and Photography

Serving Columbia, SC

Experienced support for a more informed and confident birth

Pregnancy comes with excitement, anticipation—and often a whole lot of questions. You shouldn't have to navigate them alone.

As an experienced birth doula and former Labor & Delivery nurse, I bring a unique combination of clinical knowledge, evidence-based education, and compassionate, hands-on support to your pregnancy and birth.

Whether you're hoping for an unmedicated birth, planning an epidural, facing an induction or preparing for a cesarean, my role isn't to tell you how to birth. It's to help you understand your options, feel confident in your decisions, and know you have someone experienced beside you every step of the way.

Feel informed. Feel supported. Feel confident.

  • "After stalling out at the hospital and being sent home twice, I finally called Danielle (on the way home and in early labor) and asked for help. I was so thankful for her willingness to support me in my moment of need without hesitation. She was so helpful, hands-on, encouraging, and empowered me every step of my delivery!"

    — Taylor

  • "I felt supported, and watching my wife feel so secure with Danielle supporting us made me feel calm. We also loved the birth photos too!"

    — Carter

  • "As a first-time mom, having a doula at my delivery helped me have a peaceful experience, especially since I had a great deal of anxiety about being induced. Danielle knew how to offer physical support and comfort measures so my body and mind could do the work they needed."

    — Anna

  • "This was my third and final baby, but the first with a doula. I sure wish I had Danielle the first two times as well. Every labor and birth is different. You never know what to expect. When you have someone who is not family there to be level-headed and support YOU, it's such a relief."

    — Geri-Lynn

  • "Having a doula helped lighten the load on my shoulders. Danielle was able to know my wife's needs and support them instinctively. I may not have picked up on them, so having someone with knowledge and experience by our side was so valuable."

    — Jacob

  • "I ended up needing an emergency cesarean, and Danielle helped me stay calm during the scariest moments of my life. She knew exactly what to do and what to say. I needed her more than I realized I would. She also helped me through postpartum challenges and eased my anxiety. Hiring her made the biggest difference for my family, and I 100% know that my birth would have been completely different if it were not for her."

    — Hannah

  • "I love my husband, and he is incredibly supportive, but he is a self-described "wimp." That fact aside, something about having Danielle with me gave me so much comfort and encouragement. At such a vulnerable moment in my life, having someone with me who I truly trusted and felt understood my wishes was the biggest blessing."
