Ryzuk, Danielle

Danielle is amazing! We were a week post-partum with our first baby and had an unexpected pediatric hospital admission already. So by the time we got home we were feeling absolutely exhausted. We had reached out to Danielle for an overnight support shift, hoping we could 'reset' back into newborn bliss after a very draining and scary first week. Danielle was incredible, she helped us so much by just being in our space. She is calm, caring and soooo knowledgeable. We were able to leave our little one in her hands and focus on getting as much rest as possible - it truly made all the difference and set us up for the best path forwards. I can't say enough about how wonderful she is and would recommend her/post-partum support to new parents in a heart beat.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Danielle and the incredible support she gave me during the postpartum period. She is everything you could hope for in a doula — kind, knowledgeable, experienced, calm, dependable, and deeply compassionate. Her dedication and passion for her work shine through in everything she does. From the way she lovingly cared for my daughter, to the way she supported me in my recovery — both physically and emotionally — Danielle’s presence made a world of difference with my transition to parenthood. She stepped in with grace, not only offering expert guidance and reassurance, but also helping with everyday tasks that felt overwhelming in those early days. Danielle's support brought so much peace and confidence into our home. If I were to have another child, hiring her would be the very first thing on my list. She’s truly incredible, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Danielle was a wonderful support when I needed it most.  She is a very warm and peaceful person and she was exceedingly gentle with my newborn.  I feel absolutely confident in her abilities.  I would absolutely recommend working with Danielle!

We had the privilege of having Danielle has as birth support and a doula for the birth of both my daughter, at the hospital, and son, at home, who are 16 months apart. She recommended great resources to me as the birthing parent, and offered suggestions and resources and sharing her own personal experience working through these herself which I so appreciated. I was thankful that she was mindful of how I might think differently regarding resources she recommended and she always kept an open mind to listening and sharing others experiences as well with birthing. Before both births, she wanted to make sure that she knew how I wanted to feel supported during the birth and postbirth and we had extensive talks (both her, my husband and I) on birth and postbirth - again, so helpful. And for the births themselves she was so helpful and supportive, just the way we wanted and envisioned it to be. We could not be more thankful. I was very thankful for her care and attention to things that we cared about and wanted as part of our birth experience, and also the encouragement and support before hand was much needed for us both first and the second round. She is a gem. Very resourceful, caring, encouraging and cares about you and what you need.
