I asked Nia to support me for the birth of my second child. My first baby was born in my home country, so this was my first time giving birth in a different country. On top of that, we were preparing to move to another state shortly after delivery. I knew I would need not only physical support, but also emotional and multifaceted guidance during such a major transition in my life.
As a non-native living in the United States and still unfamiliar with many aspects of parenting here, I was deeply grateful for how warmly and respectfully Nia supported me. She truly honors each family’s cultural background and values. I never once felt judged or misunderstood. Instead, I felt seen, heard, and cared for in a way that respected who I am and where I come from.
Nia is incredibly intelligent and always eager to learn. She provided thoughtful, practical advice about adjusting to life as a family of four — from changes in daily routines, meals, and home environment to navigating challenges with two children. I unfortunately experienced complications from my epidural anesthesia, and my postpartum recovery was not smooth at first. However, thanks to her attentive care, my physical recovery ended up being better than after my first birth.
What touched me especially was how gently and thoughtfully she supported my husband and helped him understand how to care for me. She was also incredibly sensitive and kind in guiding us on how to help our first child adjust to becoming an older sibling. Her approach built trust within our whole family, and I felt completely safe in her hands.
We moved out of state, so continuing her support was not possible — but if it had been, I would have gladly asked her to stay with us much longer. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for compassionate, culturally sensitive, and highly professional postpartum support.
