Hello my loves, nice to virtually meet you! My name is Danae and I’m the founder of We are Doulasophy. I was born and raised in New Jersey, and now currently reside in Southern California.

I enjoy hikes and spending time with my amazing pup Nova. I always knew growing up that I would work with children. I started babysitting at the wonderful age of 10. Seriously who didn’t start babysitting at that age? But I realized that I was actually really good at it, so from then I became a daycare teacher, to nanny, and now currently I’m a survival swim instructor for infants and children. It has been an incredibly rewarding journey thus far, and I have enjoyed every minute of it.

For many years I have wanted to embark into the birthing world! I especially felt the urge to advocate for the LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC families. One moment in particular that changed my life was witnessing a close friend and her family experience a tragedy out of negligence.

From that point on, I knew my next calling was to be a doula and to ensure that tragedies like that are decreased. One of my biggest goals as a doula is to help decrease the mortality rate in black and brown birthers. Knowing that one day I will be a mother myself, it is vital to me that we create a safe and empowering space for more birthers.
