Post a testimonial for Nicole Stewart CD(DONA), HBCBE

I met Nicole relatively late in my pregnancy (third trimester) when I decided I wanted/needed a doula. I feel so fortunate that my healthcare provider gave me Nicole's contact information because she was such an incredible resource for me. She supported my decisions and helped me construct my birth plan, which changed quite a bit when COVID-19/hospital birth became a source of anxiety for me. She provided me with the tools I needed to get my baby in the optimal position for delivery, which was invaluable!
Nicole is genuine, caring, and knowledgeable. I felt incredibly comfortable with her and trusted her completely (which is not something I do easily)! I highly recommend Doula Nicole!

Caring. Supportive. Informative. Optimistic. These are the words I would use to describe the type of care I received from Nicole as a doula. I only worked with her starting in my 39th week of pregnancy but wish I had known her sooner. She provided lots of essential information regarding prenatal care, labor process, and postpartum baby care. She was supportive in my choices for my birth, while at the same time being aware of my and baby's safety. She maintained constant communication with my midwives, nurses, and the entire staff at the hospital, even when I was unable to speak. She stayed with me during my long labor of 30+ hours culminating in a c-section. If you are in need of a doula who can offer compassionate, informative care, then I highly recommend that you add Nicole Stewart to your birthing team.

I loved having Nicole as my doula during my pregnancy and birth and even post partum. She became involved in our process instantly with reminders, advice and just checking in which really showed she cared and made me feel secure. I had a home birth and she arrived in perfect timing, just when we felt things were getting a bit more intense, and her presence was soothing and calming. Her energy was confident, assertive and helpful. My partner was able to be more present with me knowing Nicole had our backs with everything from timing contractions, texting the midwife, setting up the birth pool, coaching me through contractions, offering helpful suggestions, taking photos, cooking, cleaning etc. We couldn't have had such a beautiful birth without her!! I'm forever thankful I found her and I highly recommend her!!

If you are looking for a nurturing, fun-loving & knowledgeable doula , Nicole is your girl. She went above& beyond her call of duty. She had a way of bringing a calming presence to our room. The nurses loved her & our midwife! She helped us carry out our birth plan in a very respectful way. When I had my moments of “ I can’t do this anymore” Nicole was right there, my little cheerleader! Reminding me how strong& capable I was. She reminded me to breath. She even applied chapstick to my very dry laboring lips! Having had a natural birth herself I feel she was able to show a great deal of empathy. We still joke about how she sat in my amniotic fluid- Talk about “ bare essentials “ !
After our daughter was born she continued to be my wonderful breastfeeding cheer leader as that was so important to me . We are ever so greatful . Thank you for everything Nicole!
