Testimonial for Danielle Cincoski CD(DONA) Hypnobirthing, Placenta Encapsulation
Danielle was a sibling doula for us when we were expecting our 4th baby, and after finding out we were expting #5, I knew
I wanted Danielle there to support my husband and I for our fourth homebirth and fourth VBAC as well. Danielle went above and beyond - I texted her 10 weeks before my due date because my water had broke, and she quckly returned home in case my labor progressed. Danielle made sure to keep in touch for the 31 days I was in the hospital, she came out to visit and bring me a healthy lunch, and kept encouraging me during what was a very trialing time mentally, physically, and spiritually. When it came time to be induced, Danielle was there soon after. Not only was her presence reassuring to me - knowing I had someone else in the room who was in my corner and had had a homebirth before - but her words of encouragement, her ability to identify my needs for natural pain relief during contractions, and my physical needs for water and food throughout labor also supported me so that I could have the birth experience I had envisioned, despite so many changes. Having Danielle there after my son was whisked off to the NICU helped keep me grounded emotionally. It was heartbreaking to have my son and husband leave, but knowing there was someone there who cared about me, kept me company for postpartum workup, and then brought dinner for my husband and I made a world of difference. I am extremely thankful to have had Danielle there for our son's birth because her experience as a doula, empathy, and willingness to be available to us much earlier than anticipated is, I believe, one of the key factors in my having had the best birth outcome considering the circumstances. I highly recommend Danielle for any mother looking for a doula to support her throughout pregnancy and childbirth, and if I ever have more children, I know I will want Danielle there supporting us again.
