Danielle Gallagher

My name is Danielle and I am a birth and postpartum doula. I came into this role initially through advocacy and birth rights work. I support women and their families in Dublin and occasionally in Donegal. My background is in research, and so while my approach offers compassionate and gentle presence, I will always ensure your decisions are rooted in evidence-based practice and that you are confident and resourced approaching your birth. I believe every mother deserves a calm and supported beginning in motherhood, and that, as our birth experiences stay with us forever, they should be positive and empowering.
I also believe ritual and ceremony has an important role in the season of pregnancy, birth and postpartum. I weave this into my practice whenever possible, either as standalone group circles or in antenatal and postnatal individualised care.
I am a mother of two, I gave birth in both hospital and home birth settings so have experience navigating both systems.
It is a privilege to walk alongside parents on this journey and to witness the birth space. My goal is to enable and support mothers in creating the birth experience that they want.
