Testimonial for Brana Ninkov RN, MSN, CLEC, Birth Doula, BSN Nutrition
Brana has been one of the greatest gifts of my motherhood journey. I’ve had the privilege of working with her for my last two babies, and without hesitation I’ve chosen her again as I prepare to welcome my 3rd.
What makes Brana so special isn’t just what she knows (and she knows so much); it’s who she is. She carries a steady, gentle presence that calms you on a soul level. She’s intuitive, soft, and grounded, and being around her makes you feel safe, like you can finally exhale. In moments that felt emotional or overwhelming, she brought me back to peace again and again.
Brana became my sounding board, helping me untangle fears, process options, and make decisions aligned with my values and the experience I wanted for myself and my babies. She never made me feel rushed or judged. She holds space with patience and respect, and somehow helps you trust your own inner voice.
On a practical level, she is deeply knowledgeable in the medical and scientific side of birth. She explains options clearly, shares evidence-based perspectives, and offers gentle reframes, always empowering me, never directing me. It feels like having someone in my corner who is both compassionate and highly competent.
She was there whenever I needed her; by call, text, or late-night reassurance plus in-person support. Postpartum, her visits meant everything. She didn’t just “check in”; she taught me what to do, what to watch for, and how to care for my baby and myself with confidence and grace.
I truly feel that, by God’s kindness and Brana’s guidance, I was able to have the births I prayed for. Brana isn’t only my doula, she’s become like family. I’m deeply grateful for the care, wisdom, and love she’s poured into us, and I’m so comforted knowing she’ll be walking with me again as we welcome this baby.
