Testimonial for Daniella Nowicki
I met Daniella when I was about 6mos pregnant with my 2nd child. I was a little on the fence about hiring a doula but I had had an unplanned c-section with some complications with my 1st child & was very adamant about doing everything in my power to have a natural childbirth with my 2nd & last planned pregnancy. Right off the bat, Daniella made me feel good about the decision to hire a doula. She is so passionate about people having the births they want that she had me ready to sign the paperwork right there. But she also wanted to chat with my partner and make sure we all fit. Once he spoke with her, he was hesitant (about doula's in general, not Daniella) but on board. Because this was Jan. 2020, we met with Daniella once at our house & she showed me some extremely useful stretches and began the "here's how you help process" with my husband. After that, she was an amazing resource for all my questions & "ouch why does this hurt this time?" complaints. Quick to answer she was truly an amazing prep resource. And then Covid-19 hit & everything got wild. Through high blood pressure, pressure for an induction, hospitals with policies about delivery changing by the hour and ultimately delivering on the peak day of the pandemic - Daniella virtually held my hand and guided me through what was as close to the birth I had envisioned & wanted that I think was possible. What she truly excels at is empowering mothers to own their birth experience - whatever it is. And helping demystify what seems like it should be so much simpler - but is very complicated by hospitals etc. I am 3mos post-partum and Daniella is still an incredible resource. She looks out for the whole family - even bringing a gift for my 3yr old. She is amazing and anyone who gets to work with her should count themselves lucky. Daniella rocks.
