Nicole is truly MAGIC!
Going into pregnancy, I knew I wanted an unmedicated labor and delivery. On the day my labor began, the doula I had originally chosen experienced an injury and couldn't attend my birth. Nicole stepped in as my backup, and looking back, I feel so lucky that she did.
I was nervous about meeting my doula for the first time on the day I was giving birth, but Nicole immediately put me at ease. She arrived promptly, was incredibly professional, and brought a calm, reassuring presence.
Nicole's greatest strength is her ability to read the room. Between contractions, she kept the atmosphere light with conversation, helping the time pass more quickly and easing my anxiety. During more intense moments, she quietly guided me into positions that encouraged my labor to progress while offering steady support.
Although my medical team initially planned to start Pitocin, my labor progressed so efficiently that I never needed it. I truly credit much of that to Nicole's expertise. Her knowledge of labor positions helped my baby engage, her calm presence kept me focused, and her understanding of birth helped me manage my expectations.
Nicole also worked seamlessly with my medical team. She respectfully advocated for my birth preferences while maintaining a great relationship with everyone involved. Because of her support, my husband was able to focus on encouraging me instead of worrying about managing my pain.
I genuinely believe my labor and delivery would have been completely different without Nicole. Thanks to her, I was able to have the unmedicated birth I had always hoped for. It was truly the labor and delivery of my dreams.
I cannot recommend Nicole highly enough. If you take anything from this review, work with Nicole if you have the chance!! I will always be grateful for the role she played in bringing our daughter into the world.
