Meet Our Doula: Daniela Schneider
Daniela Schneider
Certified Doula, BA Psychology
Daniela is a certified doula with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and extended training in early childhood education. Her professional background spans both nurturing and high-performance environments—having worked as an early childhood educator and later as an Executive in Procurement Business Partnerships Relations for publicly traded company & companies within demanding, fast-paced industries.
Daniela’s path to doula work is rooted in personal experience. After navigating three years of IUI and IVF treatments, she developed a deep understanding of the emotional, mental, and physical complexities of the fertility journey. Through research, resilience, and intention, she learned how vital mindset, emotional regulation, and compassionate support are—especially when the process is not linear or easy.
Her pregnancy and labor were not without challenges, yet they became some of the most meaningful moments of her life. While she chose midwifery care, Daniela later realized that what she truly needed—and did not have—was continuous doula support. That realization became a turning point.
Motivated by the care she wished she had received, Daniela made the intentional decision to transition careers and become a certified doula, combining her technical training with lived experience, psychological insight, and unwavering empathy. As a mother to her daughter Annabelle, she understands firsthand the balancing act of pregnancy, parenthood, career demands, and personal well-being—even navigating fertility treatments while traveling for work.
Daniela provides grounded, compassionate, and informed support to women and families, meeting them where they are and walking alongside them with presence, advocacy, and care. Her mission is simple: to ensure no one feels unsupported during one of life’s most vulnerable and transformative journeys.
