Danielle Hanna

Certified Postpartum Doula, M.A., CAP, PfC | she/her

“Danielle is an incredible healer with her rich knowledge of ayurvedic medicine and postpartum healing, her presence and warmth, her vast life's wisdom and intuition. I felt wholly accepted and held in the care of Danielle.”

— Jeevan, parent of 1

With a background and education in holistic health, Danielle comes to postpartum care after more than a decade of work as an Ayurvedic Practitioner. Having struggled with having her first child over two decades ago, the postpartum time was anything but easy. Depression, problems with lactation, and poor sleep made the early years hard and recovery slow, but studying and applying Ayurveda and Yoga really supported the change. 

After raising both of her kids, Danielle chose to deepen her work in postpartum care. Ayurveda’s focus on living in good health during the many phases of life and the seasons around the year, and Danielle’s specialization in supporting people through the hormonal changes of life, were a natural segue.

Danielle loves combining holistic health with supporting the role of new parents and the recovery necessary during the postpartum period, a time she considers to be life changing, sacred, and tender, as well as one of the most challenging seasons in life. Working with families is some of her most passionate heart work. 

When not working, Danielle spends time with her partner and young adult kids, tending to home, garden, 3 dogs and two cats. Danielle loves to travel, make art, spend time in nature and do lots of cooking.
