I have few words to describe how unbelievably important Daniella was for my birthing experience. These are a few: warm, validating, good listener, open-minded adaptable to my and my partner's needs, charismatic, knowledgeable. We built rapport easily through the pre-partum sessions and she not only was an important advocate for my values but she also helped me and my partner learn how to advocate for ourselves. She also was readily accessible throughout the process, and was very well prepared for our needs and what she predicted they would be during labor. In the moment she stepped into the labor room, I thought, "What would we do without her?" and this thought has come to me several times after, as I relive and share my birthing experience with loved ones. I wish every birthing person could have the opportunity to have a doula like Daniella. read more

Daniella was exactly what I needed for my prenatal and delivery experiences! Having had a pretty traumatic first pregnancy and delivery, I was looking for an experienced doula who could guide me mentally, emotionally and physically through my second experience. I would also like to point out that she was instrumental in my first nursing experience as soon as delivered the baby which led to a successful nursing journey. In summary, cannot thank her enough for her gentle and knowledgeable care. read more

Daniella is an absolute treasure! In the months leading up to our daughter's birth, we had several virtual meetings with Daniella that left us feeling prepared and confident. During our 14-hour home birth, her knowledge, warmth, and calming presence made me feel so safe and comfortable. Daniella always seemed to know exactly what would make me feel more relaxed, from setting up pretty lights around the dark room to gently stroking my head during contractions. We feel so lucky and grateful to have had Daniella to guide us through the birth of our first child! read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Daniella and Nature Nurture Doula Services. From the day we hired her all the way through postpartum, she has been a constant source of support and strength for our growing family. After years of infertility treatment and loss I felt strongly that we should hire a birth doula. What I did not anticipate was how instrumental she would be in helping me manifest the birth story that I wanted and needed. Daniella was available for me day/night throughout my pregnancy, which was much appreciated as I managed the anxieties through the second and third trimesters. When I encountered some small bumps along the way (e.g., high blood pressure, failed glucose test, OB recommendations for an induction etc.) she calmed my nerves. She was extremely helpful when it came to providing me with the knowledge and tools I needed to advocate for myself particularly on the days leading up to labor. Unfortunately my induction lasted a few days longer than I had hoped it would. During this time Daniella was available 24/7 to help me navigate real-time decisions that we had previously covered in my birth plan. I can honestly say that things would have turned out very differently if it wasn't for her. She kept the health of myself and my baby girl in mind every step of the way. She was right by my side through some really painful contractions and pushing, reminding me that "I can do this" when I said I didn't think I could. My birth story would not be the same without her, which is why I will be forever grateful that we chose Daniella as our doula. read more

Daniella was professional, thorough, and organized as our Doula, helping us feel prepared with resources and exercises. Probably her biggest contribution for us was knowing the local hospital systems very well (we had just moved to the area) and referring us to an amazing NICU hospital after our first hospital failed to catch our daughter's abnormalities until week 28. We didn't even think we would need a NICU at that point, but it was a great call because we ended up having to stay almost 8 weeks there and we were so glad we were in the best facility possible for that, with the most caring and educated doctors and nurses. I went into labor almost 7 weeks early and because we had just switched hospitals we didn't even have the phone number or process figured out yet. Thankfully Daniella picked up the phone right away when I called her after my water broke and she guided us to the right people to call and where to go at the hospital. An emergency C-section was needed due to breech placement and early labor, and the massage techniques she taught my husband really came in handy while I was in the waiting area in labor. She was also very helpful for recommendations for other service providers, such as a wonderful prenatal massage therapist she referred us to. She was also very compassionate during the very hard time we went through after finding out about our daughter's differences due to an unknown genetic disorder. Highly recommend! read more

Daniella is a fantastic, caring, loving, calm, and fun person all around!! We loved our experience with her. She was so accommodating to our busy schedules when visiting pre-natal. She always spent a little more time than expected with us- working on some stretching and massage in combination with her spinning baby knowledge. In the hospital, we called her a bit sooner than perhaps we should have (she'd argue that she would be there whenever we needed!), but she stayed with us over 24-hours. She guided us through some positions to help the baby drop (stubborn boy!) and helped us work through some decisions as induction and pain management became reality. We loved that she was my husband's support so he could support me. read more

Words cannot express how incredibly grateful I am to have had Daniella as my doula. This was my first child and I went into the process feeling scared, not knowing anything about birth or babies. I was so afraid of the pain and how labor/birth would be. During my pregnancy, I interviewed several doulas. When I met Daniella, I automatically knew she was the one. From the very beginning (even from email exchanges) she was extremely professional and crystal clear through communication. Right after our first chat, I called my husband and told him "I found our doula!". During our first meeting, she showed up with a binder that was organized from pregnancy all the way up until postpartum - she spoke directly to my little Virgo, Type-A heart. Right then and there I knew she was the one. She made us feel extremely comfortable and safe right from the beginning. I can't emphasize this enough. I felt safe and comforted in her presence. I felt that I could ask any question I needed and her aura made me feel very calm and understood. The information she provides is OUTSTANDING. I am a researcher and Daniella provided so many details from scientific evidence, to holistic approaches. Everything I needed was provided by her. She would always remember what questions my husband and I had during our meetings and would follow up with specific resources directed specifically to us. Reaching her via phone or email was the easiest part of all...Needless to say she responds within less than five minutes to anything. On the night my labor started (Saturday around 2am), I sent her a message at 3:30 am because I was feeling unsure and scared. She responded within a few minutes and comforted me right away. This kept on going all the way up to birth when we met in the hospital. I was so excited for her to be there and be with us. I felt empowered in her presence. I started this review saying that I felt scared about childbirth when I first found out I was pregnant...the day of my birth, during transition and pushing, I have never felt more empowered, badass, and feminine in my entire life. Daniella helped me reach this stage and without her I wouldn't have had the birth I planned for. It was magical. It was almost pain-free (right after the baby was born I couldn't remember any pain at all). She kept on reminding me what to do and between those strong waves I was able to completely relax and forget about everything. Our baby arrived only after 45 minutes of pushing and I had so much encouragement with her by my side. It was the birth I always dreamt of and the best day of my life. Daniella held a mirror up for me when I doubted myself the most, she helped me see how strong I was and how strong my body was. She helped my husband and I have the most memorable day of our lives, and helped us grow and love each other even more through this amazing experience. I will be forever grateful for her and needless to say she will be at my next birth as well One last note...From my baby's birthday moving forward, I keep on looking at myself in the mirror and thinking..." You are such a badass. A badass at birth". Thank you Daniella for everything. read more

I will forever be grateful for Daniella! She is so knowledgable in her field and offers so much helpful information in helping to plan an ideal birth experience for your own wants and needs. I felt much more comfortable making decisions and advocating for myself after all of our prenatal meetings with Daniella. She made herself available to us by text and email and was always very prompt with her responses. We felt so supported and cared for by her throughout pregnancy, labor and delivery. Once she arrived at the hospital for labor the whole mood of the room changed. She calmly guided me through breathing exercises and offered words of reinforcement. Not only did she support me but she also supported my husband and taught him ways he could help me. If you are questioning if you want or need a doula, YOU DO! I cannot recommend Daniella enough, you will not be disappointed. I feel so lucky to have had her throughout my pregnancy! read more

Everyone should have a doula! And everyone who can should get Danielle as their doula. We were pretty new in Boston and I was looking for a person who could help me postpartum, similar to the midwife services in Germany. We met Dee at a doula evening and she was from the beginning very kind and sympathetic. We decided pretty quickly to have her as our doula and never regretted it. Dee help us with everything: she help me to find a midwife, answered all my questions about pregnancy, birth and the first days with our newborn, She is highly experienced and every time we met she was really well prepared, and always had the answers and information we needed. I'm so thankful that Dee was with us the whole time of the birth. She made this special moment more special. She also took pictures and made us a video of our birth pictures and I can't be more thankful for that. I really can say that I wouldn't had this great birth without dees support. I highly recommend that everyone who can have a doula should do that and Dee would be a great choice. read more

Daniella is amazing! She is always available, super supportive and happy to answer all questions! She is a wealth of knowledge! She helped me have my perfect birth experience and was my support in the hospital to ensure my voice was heard! I couldn't be happier with her and would recommend her to everyone! I can't say enough good things! I am forever greatful for her help so I could have a great pregnancy experience and how meet my baby the way I wanted! read more

Daniella is a truly special soul and she couldn't be better suited for helping other souls enter the world. Her knowledge and experience are invaluable and seemingly endless. But more importantly for the birthing person (and any other support people along for the ride), her amazing energy, kindness, patience, authenticity and humor. As a first timer I cannot imagine my birth experience without her and neither can my husband. Like most births, it didn't start off at all how I hoped or expected, and it was a long twisty turny adventure, but with Daniella by our sides I felt so confident, comfortable and safe. I know with certainty that I would not have felt empowered or nearly as safe without her presence, despite the fact that I had a wonderful hospital team. I also noticed how she brought adorable thoughtful little gifts for the nursing staff. That really captures her essence - very thoughtful, generous and full of light and laughter. She also gave us an adorable custom onesie with our son's name on it so we will always remmeber her. A true professional with amazing experience and wisdom, and also a fantastic human. A rare gem. read more

I have no words to describe Daniella and how magnificent she is. What she does goes so far beyond "services provided". She is a Godsend that was my guardian angel during my entire birthing experience, before, during and after. My water broke and I started having contractions about 42 hours prior to giving birth to my beautiful baby boy. I experienced excruciating back labor and Daniella was attached by my side being my advocate, soothing me, coaching me, and basically allowing me to truly have a joyous experience despite how difficult it was in the moment. At one point I remember opening my eyes and instantly becoming terrified thinking she had left my side, but she was just on the other side ready and willing to do anything to help me through it all. I would have never been able to do half of what I did without her by my side. Even after the birth she shared so much love, compassion, and knowledge and insight with us at a time when we were needed her much more than we had realized. Did I mention her incredible photography skills?? This woman has it all. Our son was born a day before her birthday. We would be the luckiest to have him take after her, even just a little bit . Daniella is so much more than just a doula. She is a first and foremost a compassionate and beautiful human being, inside and out. It would be a blessing to have her by your side. read more

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. read more
