I can’t express enough how grateful I am for Nicole's incredible support throughout my pregnancy, labor, and postpartum journey. From our very first meeting, she provided me with a wealth of resources that made me feel super prepared for the birth experience I wanted.

Nicole was truly supportive of my VBAC goals, helping me navigate the hospital environment and advocating for my wishes every step of the way. During early labor, she came to my home and offered invaluable assistance with labor pains, guiding me on when it was time to head to the hospital. Her presence was a source of confidence, making me feel empowered to communicate my needs to the nursing staff and doctors.

When the moment came, Nicole was right by my side, helping me stay informed and calm, even when I struggled to think clearly. She celebrated every milestone with me, and her joy when I finally progressed past 4cm was a touching highlight of the experience. It was clear she was not only there physically but also emotionally and mentally, paying attention to every detail and ensuring my needs were met.

Despite the challenges, including a cord wrapped around my baby’s neck, I achieved a successful VBAC, and I know Nicole played a huge role in that success. I felt supported and advocated for, which made all the difference.

Thank you, Nicole, for everything you did for me and my family. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula, and I will certainly be reaching out to her again for future pregnancies!
