Testimonial for Brana Ninkov RN, MSN, CLEC, Birth Doula, BSN Nutrition
If you are looking for an amazing doula, then look no further. I set a few interviews with doulas in early 2016 for my first pregnancy. I could tell right away Brana was special just in her responses by email. I met her and we instantly connected. She answered all of my questions, and made me feel totally comfortable. Everything she said aligned with my philosophy, and was exactly what I wanted to hear. I cancelled all my other interviews, and went with her, I just knew. I was right. Brana ended up being everything I was hoping for.
Since she was a nurse previously, she gave me scientific and accurate information, always. She shared book recommendations and articles with me. She is professional in every way.
I wanted to have an unmedicated birth more than anything. Brana believed in me and my goals. As they say, birth plans don't always go your way. Mine didn't. Our baby was breech, and though Brana guided us to try many different things to achieve our goal, our baby wouldn't turn. Brana supported me through an unsuccessful ECV procedure. I ended up needing to have a C-Section and was devastated at first. Brana helped me get over my upset and learn to frame it in really positive way. She was there for me even though she was not allowed, by my hospital, to be in the operating room. She was there before and after for as long as I needed her. She helped take care of me immediately after the operation, and helped our baby to breast feed right away. My birth story is not what I expected, but Brana helped me to make it positive, supported and joyful. I'll love her forever as a result.
