Danielle Wright-Terrell, MD

Dr. Wright Terrell: Pioneering OB-GYN and Founder of HONEY Coaching

Dr. Wright is a native of Columbia, SC. She attended undergrad at Davidson College in Davidson, NC where she majored in Psychology and minored in Chemistry. From there she completed her medical and residency training in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, SC. In 2020, she began her active duty service in the United States Air Force and has served 4 years. During this time she has also become a mom and CEO of HONEY Coaching, a postpartum support platform that aims to sweeten this period for moms and ads. This company was formed from her own postpartum experience and the gaps in care that she felt existed through her own journey in the 4th trimester.

Her educational journey took her to Davidson College for her undergraduate studies, where she laid the foundation for her future in medicine. Driven by her innate desire to serve, she continued her education at the Medical University of South Carolina, where she earned her medical degree and embarked on a career in obstetrics and gynecology. Throughout her medical training and residency, Dr. Terrell devoted countless hours to local and global service initiatives, solidifying her commitment to holistic healthcare for individuals and families.

Upon completing her residency, Dr. Terrell took her service commitment to new heights by serving as an officer and OB-GYN in the United States Air Force for four years. During her military service, she provided essential medical care to servicewomen and their families while also honing her leadership skills, further enriching her experience and expertise.

However, it was during her own experience of becoming a mother that Dr. Terrell's life took a significant turn. Experiencing the challenges of the postpartum period firsthand, she identified a crucial gap in the support system available to new parents. While numerous services existed to aid mothers in their postpartum recovery, very few comprehensively supported both parents individually and as a dyad. Additionally, these services often remained inaccessible due to their high costs.

In response to this pressing need, Dr. Terrell founded HONEY Coaching, a groundbreaking initiative dedicated to providing equitable, low-cost, and universally accessible support to parents across the nation. HONEY Coaching recognizes the importance of nurturing both mothers and fathers during the transformative postpartum period, as well as fostering a strong and supportive parental partnership. Dr. Wright Terrell's journey from her diverse family background to becoming a pioneering advocate for comprehensive postpartum support is a testament to her enduring commitment to service and her profound impact on the lives of parents and families across the country. Her work with HONEY Coaching stands as a beacon of hope and support for parents during one of the most pivotal and challenging phases of their lives.
