Danielle Foti - Birth Doula

About Danielle

Hello all, I am a birth doula (DONA certified), placenta preparation specialist (WCPS certified), and childbirth educator (trained by ProDoula) serving the Western New York area. I also have a background in Biological Anthropology. I am passionate about using my cumulative knowledge to support and educate the pregnant & birthing people of my community, improving birth outcomes, and changing the narrative around childbirth. I've always been drawn to the non-clinical role of a doula, providing education with evidence-based information, supporting parents through pregnancy, labor, birth and beyond, and normalizing birth and breastfeeding in our culture. I strive to bring a calm, encouraging, non-judgmental presence into your birth space, along with a dash of humor.

What to expect

As a birth doula, I offer continuous emotional, educational and physical support throughout labor and birth. In addition to that, I also offer childbirth education & breastfeeding/chestfeeding support. Since preparation and education is paramount to a positive birth and postpartum experience, I also offer birth and postpartum planning sessions to expecting families. As an added service, I also provide placenta encapsulation.
