Nina is the perfect person to have around when transitioning to be a new mommy or new parent. Her patience and understanding of caring for my needs and wishes was tremendous. She always went above and beyond for not only me but my entire family. After having my first child I was dealing with a lot of postpartum stress/issues, Nina made sure my feelings and my wants/needs were always met even after we had our child. We will be contacting Nina in the future, most likely for every child we have. Just the best choice overall for a responsible amazing doula.
