I truly don’t know where to begin because words don’t feel adequate to describe what Nicole has meant to our family.
From pregnancy through labor, birth, and postpartum, she has been there every step of the way. She constantly checked in, answered every question, and was always just a phone call or text away. She helped turn my malpositioned baby with prenatal exercises, created a birth plan that respected all of my wishes, and guided me through my high-risk pregnancy with wisdom and compassion. She truly became family.
When my contractions started at 3 AM, she stayed on the phone and text with me for hours, timing my contractions through an app and helping me know when it was time to go to Kaiser. She arrived minutes after we did and never left my side.
When the contractions became unbearable, I genuinely don’t know how I would have gotten through the pain—or honestly, the entire labor—without her. While I cried through contractions, she coached my breathing, used comfort techniques, advocated for quicker pain relief, and brought such a calm, compassionate presence. In the middle of one of the hardest days of my life, she became my calm.
She stayed until nearly 11 PM, only leaving after I was settled in my postpartum room and she had made sure I was scheduled with a lactation consultant.
Nicole is knowledgeable, compassionate, professional, and an incredible advocate. She never pressured me, always respected my decisions, and continues to support me postpartum. I truly feel like I’ve gained a lifelong friend.
Not everyone can be a doula. This is Nicole’s calling. I believe God brought her into our lives for a reason. Her care is priceless, and I will gladly continue using her services after my insurance-covered visits end.
You don’t know what you need from a doula—but Nicole does. You will not regret choosing her.
