"I worked in the family birthing center in NYC about 6 years ago with Danielle as a registered nurse and she is absolutely amazing. Her work is beautiful, kind, and an experience you and your family won’t ever forget. I would fully trust my postpartum experience to her if I were still in the NYC area! I’m excited for all the families she will continue to touch as there have been so many already!"
