    Amazing doula! Worked with her after my delivery. So helpful in raising my little ones. She has a wealth of knowledge and was so supportive during my transition into motherhood. She went above and beyond for our family. Always professional, listened and worked with our family’s needs. We we are so thankful to have found Nicole! Would highly recommend her.

    Nicole was an absolute gift to me during my pregnancy and labor. Because of her support, knowledge, and skill, I was able to have my desired VBAC. Nicole is an extremely dedicated doula- always responsive and available. She stayed up without sleeping for more than 24 hours with me during my daughter’s birth- and seemed to be able to do it without blinking an eye!! As my husband was passing out as I struggled to get to 10cm, Nicole rubbed my back and stayed with me, comforting me not only physically but emotionally. Nicole is an expert at what she does, but even more, she is a kind, caring person who makes you feel like you truly can get through the difficulty of labor. I am forever grateful to her and would 110% recommend her!!!!

    I was due in May 2020, the very beginning of the pandemic. A first birth is always scary, but a first birth when the world is basically ending/shutting down due to this worldwide plague made it downright terrifying. I’m so thankful I had Nicole. She was my rock every step of the way, and I trusted and leaned on her patient, kind, steadfast energy so much that I insisted on using her virtually since doulas were banned from births at that time. Actually we were told we can bring one person only, and knowing how much I loved Nicole, my husband graciously offered to let her be by the birth instead! I did end up keeping my husband although I gotta say, I considered the offer!!! From the first moment I met Nicole, I loved her and trusted her. She is so knowledgeable and warm, and she gave me the confidence to advocate for myself.I couldn’t have done it with her. I can’t recommend her enough!!

    My husband and I were first time parents when we were looking for a doula and I clicked with Nicole right away. She is extremely warm, knowledgeable, and understanding to all of the questions and anxieties that come with being a first time (and beyond) parent and just not knowing what anything is truly going to be like.
    Having her with us to discuss all birth related things pre- birth and to support all of the unexpected challenges that we experienced along the way was beyond appreciated- I truly do not know what I would have done without her.
    We ended up having an induced birth situation after months of planning with Nicole for an Unmedicated birth – I was struggling with many anxieties and Nicole was there walking us through what to expect and supporting us with navigating this new unexpected challenge. She was there in the hospital with us assisting me emotionally , physically, mentally, and assisting my husband with how to best support me. It was a grueling 36+ hour induction and birth and I believe the only reason I didn’t end up having a c section (and didn’t completely lose my mind) is because of Nicole’s guidance (supporting with positions, spinning baby techniques, etc etc etc).
    We are so grateful to Nicole for her guidance and support in bringing our son to this world. We cannot recommend her enough to anyone wanting guidance support education and more through your birthing experience.
