Nichole gave us support as we welcomed our second child into our lives. My son's birth was a very traumatic experience and I needed to recover and heal both physically and emotionally. Nichole was a great listener as I processed my trauma and worked through my emotional adjustment to having a second child. She offered empathy and kindness and always found ways to support my experience and encourage me to take time for myself. She also was so helpful guiding me through swaddling and baby wearing while also helping us keep up with our endless piles of laundry. The meals she made for our family were made with love and nourished the body and soul. She also held the baby so we could have some time to engage with our daughter at family dinner to continue to nurture her needs without divided attention. I recommend Nichole's services to any birthing person during the postpartum time. She offers a gentle guidance while truly seeing the needs of the family and individual. I will remember her as a wonderful part of our journey.

My wife and I were so amazed by Nichole! We had a difficult and stressful birthing experience and after we brought our litte one home, Nichole brought a calm energy to our home. She provided excellent support that we really needed and set us up with advice and guidance that was truly appreciated. Without question, we would ask her to help us the next time.

Nichole was an a wonderful person to have with my family in the early months after the birth of my daughter. She was provided a huge amount of emotional and hands on support for me as the mother during my recovery and with practical tips related to nursing, baby care, etc. She was wonderful and gentle with my baby, and helped the whole family to keep on top of household jobs like laundry, meal prep, etc. I trust her fully and we remain in touch now.

Nichole was such a calming and helpful support to us in the first three months after my son was born. We had no idea what we were doing! But Nichole was reassuring, offered guidance, and helped us feel more confident as we learned how to do everything. She has a way with babies and people alike! I highly highly recommend her and any family would be lucky to have her as their doula.

Nichole was our postpartum doula when we brought our twin boys home this past winter. She worked with us for eight visits, and she helped me through such a huge transition in my life as a first time mom. She customized her care to what I needed most: from small things like helping with bottle cleaning and prepping some energy boosting snacks, to the big things like allowing me to take a nap while she helped watch the boys, organizing the nursery so that the things we needed most were easily accessible, and helping me navigate my breastfeeding journey. Her visits were a bright light during those early months of sleep deprivation! She has such a kind, caring, and non-judgmental demeanor and I will forever be thankful for all of the help she gave us.
