I cannot say enough great things about my experience with Nikki. She was always available for any questions during my pregnancy and always honest. She would explain thing, ease my concerns, and let me know I wasn't being crazy. When I would start to doubt and fear labor and delivery she was right there cheering me on and reminding me I was made to do this.
The day I went into labor, I was in pain, scared, and did not know what to expect with my 2nd delivery as my first was a scheduled csection. Nikki made me feel confident and strong the entire time. She eased my anxiety when things were picking up, made sure I was comfortable and staying calm. Her and my husband by my side the whole time telling me I was safe, the baby is safe, and just everything I needed at the right time. I still cannot thank her enough for making this experience everything I wanted and more. Successful VBAC! Even after the birth of our daughter, she made sure I knew what was happening, staying right by my side being supportive and calm. There wasn't a moment that I didn't know what was going on during labor and after thanks to her. Her confidence, knowledge, and calming presence was extremely comforting. Again, she is amazing to say the least and I am eternally grateful that I had her there with us.

I knew I was interested in a doula the moment I was pregnant. I liked the idea of a kind, strong, supportive figure on my side as we take on this new journey. And Nikki was just that. The second I hit bumps in the road, she was there, a phone call or text away to let me vent, be a sounding board, reassure me, and talk me through advocating for myself. My husband was frankly unsure of the benefits of hiring a doula but went along with my wishes. After delivering our baby boy, my husband told me unprovoked, how glad he was that we had Nikki with us. She had great ideas, tools, and resources that I used throughout my pregnancy and was a wonderful asset/team member/ and now friend, to have with us at the birth of our son. Her skills and knowledge were much appreciated in that birthing room as well as her friendly and calming presence for not only me but my husband as well. I said to my husband, I truthfully don’t know how people navigate birth without a doula. I’ll forever be grateful for Nikki and the way that she made me feel comforted, empowered, and in control of my birth experience.

Where do I begin, I can't say enough great things about Nikki... Not only was she a pleasure to work with but she was extremely professional... she put use at ease when we hit a couple of bumps. She was really knowledgeable. If we ever have another child we will surely hire her!

I had a great experience with Nicole. She is truly amazing from beginning to end, she made me feel so comfortable during this process while in delivery. I was nervous at first but she made me feel very at ease. She was a true blessing and I'm so glad i was able to have her as my Doula.

Nikki was absolutely amazing. Before delivery she was available to answer any questions no matter what time of day and made me feel like I was her top priority. She always made me feel like my questions were valid and she was honest with her answers even if she had to get more information herself. Every meeting with her I felt like she was all in and so excited and ready to be there in any way I needed. The day of delivery she was fantastic. She met us at the hospital right away and I felt like her focus the entire time. She tried different techniques to make me comfortable and was open and understanding if it wasn't for me and ready to try something else. She was great when I said how I felt and made sure the doctors and nurses knew what was going on so I didn't have to. She allowed my husband and me to focus on being comfortable and she made sure I stayed hydrated and on track for what I wanted with birth. The day of delivery we already decided we would be using Nikki again for our future births. Thank you Nikki for all you did to make this the way we wanted and for checking in afterwards too.
