Danielle Coff, CNM Obstetrics and Gynecology, Midwife in Los Gatos, CA

Danielle Carlson Coff is a nurse-midwife who provides inclusive and evidence-based care. She believes her role is to meet people where they are and equip them with the tools needed to feel their best. "The more informed people are about their bodies and their options, the more empowered they are," Danielle explains.

Danielle obtained her undergraduate degree in business and worked in healthcare consulting following graduation. During this time, she volunteered as a doula and was amazed by the humanizing, compassionate and grounding care midwives provide. It was this experience that motivated her to go back to school.

After becoming a registered nurse, she worked at a birth center while pursuing her midwifery degree. She values her experience with out-of-hospital births and strives to incorporate a birth center-like environment into the hospital setting. This includes minimizing intervention and maximizing safety and birth experience.

Outside her practice, Danielle values spending time with her husband, family and friends. She loves being near or in water, exercising, exploring, enjoying good food and snuggling up on the couch to watch TV. She also enjoys a good laugh; jokes are always welcome.
