Testimonial for Daniella Nowicki
Hiring Daniella was one of the best decisions of my pregnancy. My husband and I made the decision to hire a doula pretty late in the game.When we met Daniella for the first time, I still remember looking at my husband after she left and explaining that I really liked her, but it just occurred to me that I hadn’t really thought through what personality traits I was really looking for in a doula. My husband, who is far more decisive than I am, told me that the decision was mine to make but at the end of the day he wanted to feel like he could be a “straight shooter” with whoever we hired. He wanted to be sure that his interactions with the doula felt natural. Daniella was that person for us.
Although Daniella was only with us for a few weeks of the pregnancy, she was so helpful in my final weeks as I faced decisions about an induction. She certainly knows a lot about labor and delivery and she’s seen it all, but she doesn’t try to steer you in any one direction; she helped us make our own decisions and supported us along the way.
When the big day finally arrived, Daniella was over at our house as soon as my husband called and she curled up on the couch with me and we watched Gilmore Girls (turns out we are both obsessed) while she discretely monitored my contractions. There was no panic or worrying about when to go to the hospital because we knew that Daniella would tell us when! At the hospital Daniella and my husband were a dream team. They effortlessly moved from hand holding to back rubbing to moving me from one position to the next. I honestly don’t know how anyone labors without an epidural for an extended period of time without a doula! If you’re looking for a down-to-earth person who feels like having a family member in the room with you (the kind of family member you actually want in the room haha), then Daniella is your doula!
