Daniella Mae NowickiCertified Birth DoulaI am the proud mother of four amazing kiddos who have continued to teach me more and more about life since I knew that they were growing inside of me. I faced 4 very different births all in very different circumstances and began to learn the unpredictable and beautiful ways of the human birth experience. I initially only had aspirations to become a midwife, but during a labor and birth that I supported I realized there were so many focuses in that room, but my only focus was on the birthing person. I was able to safe guard and tend to this mother in a way that ultimately saved her life that day. It was then that I felt the overwhelming call to doula work.

My birth experience was amazing and I consider myself extremely privileged to have had Dee's support and expertise on that special day. She is not only knowledgeable and clearly passionate about her important role in the labor and delivery room, she also has the personality and endurance for the time and work it requires. I don't know how she does it, but throughout the afternoon and night (birth time was 3am), I felt she was taking me and my birth very seriously and at the same time, kept up a very light and necessary sense of humor!
Dee arrived very soon after my husband and I got to the hospital. She was prepared to jump on the labor train right away. She was confident in the techniques she offered and keenly aware of the ones I was asking for and needing. I felt very comfortable and also comforted with her presence. Her warm personality made it natural for her to connect with the medical staff, which I think further reassured me. I didn't realize how important it was to have such a strong and proficient advocate at such a vulnerable time for me and my partner. Dee was also consistently paying attention to me either from close or further away. She made sure to leave space for me and my husband to navigate this experience together, but she was relentlessly reading and interpreting my cues and provided exactly was I needed situation after situation. Dee's support was also essential during times of complications, changes of plans, and adaptation. I benefited not just from my doula's words, but also the input and backing of a mother of four, and most importantly a friend! As a matter of fact, Dee's work was so impeccable that it didn't feel like she was working as a doula, rather it felt like having a sister or a lifelong best friend by my side, lifting me up, as I went through the most important endeavor I ever engaged in. I highly recommend Nature Nurture Doula Services as Dee is a rock star doula whose support any mother deserves while laboring and birthing. - Lucy M.

Dear prospective parent,
I am writing this letter to express my gratitude for having Daniella in my corner during my labor and deliveries.
Although the first labor and delivery Daniella attended was uneventful, she and my husband took turns giving me encouragement. Daniella also helped me make changes to my position that made a huge improvement in the effectiveness of my epidural. The relief was immediate and I was able to better focus on my labor.
Daniella really shined during the labor and delivery of my youngest son. She saw my needs even though I was unable to communicate them to her. As soon as my water was broken my temperature began to rise rapidly. Daniella effectively communicated with hospital staff that I was experiencing complications. I remember absolutely nothing about his birth. He was delivered vaginally despite the complication, but I don't think I would have survived without Daniella's talent and experience.
When I finally came to, I was informed I had delivered a baby boy and we were both being treated for chorioamnionitis with iv antibiotics. My midwife was so seriously impressed with Daniella's capabilities. She was literally singing Daniella's praises, saying how lucky I was to have her and that "everyone should have a Daniella."
You might think that's the end of this letter, but the universe thought I should give labor and delivery another go.
At my post partum physical it was discovered I had broken my pelvis and right away I began experiencing SPD symptoms.
14 days past my due date it was finally go time! Even though my midwife wouldn't be attending the delivery (she only delivered 1 of my 4 babies) Daniella's familiarity and presence eased my anxieties and gave me confidence that I was strong enough to give birth again.
Things were coming fast and furious at first, but slowed down considerably after the epidural. Daniella suggested I try to rest and less than 40 minutes later I was awoken by intense pressure. After the "OK" and a couple of pushes I delivered my daughter's head and hand sunny side up. I pushed a few more times, but made no progress. The midwife decided to perform the McRobert's Maneuver. Daniella and a nurse worked together to rotate my hips by pushing and holding my legs up by my ears. My daughter was delivered with the next push. If it wasn't for Daniella's verbal and physical support I surely would have been traumatized.
Having Daniella as a doula and an advocate will enhance and ensure that your own experience is everything you want it to be.
Sincerely,
Stephanie B.
