Testimonial for Danielle Bianco
Working with Danielle Bianco has been everything we could have hoped for. Danielle was our birth doula, she encapsulated the placenta and we also worked with her as a post-partum doula and night nurse for the first few weeks - she is completley indispensible.
This was our first pregnancy and throughout the pregnancy Danielle provided support via text and phone with very fast responses. We had 2 visits pre delivery to get really comfortable with each other and for Danielle to show my partner how to be the most helpful during early labor and beyond. She helped us write our birthplan, taking the time to really explain what it all meant and what we might encounter at the hospital.
On the day of the birth, Danielle arrived with her magic box and spent some time with us at home, coaching me through the contractions with breathwork and massage. Once transferred to the birth center Danielle kept my partner and me in the moment, continuing to support through various stretches, breathing, movements, aromatherapy and just being a real anchor for us. After an incredible labor and water birth Danielle spent time with us and our newborn to get the first feeding session done. The lactation support was not available at the hospital and without her help we would have struggled to get this going so early on.
As a night nurse, we were able to get some real sleep while she took care of our baby, those hours of sleep made all the difference during the first 2 weeks.
As a post partum doula, some of our greatest lessons have come from Danielle! Lactation support, sleep tips and generally how to handle a tiny new baby without screwing up. Danielle has a way of making you and your partner feel really comfortable while delivering invaluable instruction and information. She cooked dinner for us, did baby laundry, made lactation support snacks, taught us how to pump and bottle feed, the list goes on.
We love Danielle!
