“Amazing experiance having you attend our birth and catch our baby girl. A great listener for me when I felt overwhelmed and scared! It's a bond I feel with you that will never be forgotten! Thanks for being such a great support to our family! We love you."

"It was such a dream to work with Dania as our midwife. I began my prenatal care with a typical OBGYN and then transferred care to Dania. What a world of difference! Throughout pregnancy she spent so much time with me at each appointment, answering every question, and checking in about my emotional well-being as well. She was so supportive and nurturing throughout the process that when it came time for birth I felt confident and held. She is extremely knowledgeable, wise, compassionate, and professional. I loved how she supported me during labor, but also trusted me and my body to do my thing without too much intervention. My husband and I felt so comfortable with her and established deep trust and love. My son’s birth at home was beautiful, empowering, safe, and gentle. Her visits postpartum were so sweet and helpful for all three of us. Working with Dania feels like working with family. She holds the honor of being a midwife sacred and it is evident in all that she does. I came to seek her guidance for so many things and am forever grateful. "

“Dania does an incredible job at what she does. She was always so welcoming, kind and accommodating at every appointment. My 2 year old also looked forward to coming. Dania was so great with him.
She was also quick to respond whenever I needed to contact her, any time of any day. She really knows her stuff and any doubts/fears of having our baby at home were alleviated. We were so confident in her to safely deliver our baby in the best way for mom and baby. And she did just that! I had very little post partum issues (if any) compared to the plethora I had with my first at the hospital. I felt more empowered as a mother after this home birth than I did with my hospital birth. Dania also gives you the freedom and strengthening support to deliver however your body feels led in the comfort of your home. Her lighthearted personality was exactly what my type A personality needed. And the sweet relationship that develops even after baby is born is a sure sign of her passion, zeal and heart for midwifery. Our family loves and highly recommends Dania!”

This baby is smiling at birth…
Dania was the midwife for all three of my pregnancies. She was there for my first pregnancy when we miscarried and for my subsequent two healthy homebirths.
When I was pregnant with my first, I got a clear direction inside of me to choose Dania. I really believe my children chose Dania to help guide their way to birth. One of the most important choices you can make for your childbearing year is who you want to stand by your side through each phase that unfolds in the journey of growing a child and becoming a parent. Dania’s has an unwavering faith in not only pregnancy and birth; a mother and a child’s body; but she also has a deep faith in life itself. It was this faith that helped reassure my worries, that helped calm my mental chatter when my mind would veer off. During labor, Dania (and her assistants), were exactly what I needed. I loved labouring in the quietness, without chatter, without distraction, and even without verbal ques or direction of what I “needed” or “could” be doing. Each time I was left to labor in my own cacoon of sound and movement. With this space, I was able to enter such a sacred stillness where the rest of the world seemed quite as I was moving mountains. Also with this mindful space that was given to me, my partner and I really got to connect, and he had the space to step into the role of my support person fully.
With the (most recent) birth of my daughter Anu, Dania reminded me, while I was pushing, of my hope to catch my baby. Having my hand on her head as she was being born was a radical shift for my body’s ability to connect with pushing and to connect with the experience of her being born from my womb to the outer world. I hesitate to put one word to how that felt, it was deeply spiritual to make that connection with my child as she was being born, and to make that connection with myself and my body. I felt my power. I felt my strength. I hope every mother can be reminded, or guided, to connect with their baby in this way of receiving their baby into their hands.
Thank you Dania for being there for me and my family, for all the little and big moments.

“I wouldn't change a thing about my baby's birth. I found Dania a little late into my pregnancy after we moved to Nevada City but we quickly caught up to speed. From the first day I met her, Dania felt like family and I always felt very taken care of. She answered ALL of my questions and made me feel so comfortable at my prenatal visits. I knew I needed a strong, feminine presence at my birth and Dania was it. During my labor, I felt extremely supported. She let me have space to go through my process but she was also there to guide me as much as I needed her. After my baby was born, I was amazed at how she and the other midwife took care of everything and I could just focus on getting to know my baby. It was a profoundly magical experience from start to finish. I couldn't imagine our baby's birth any other way than in our home with Dania as our midwife. We are eternally grateful.”
