Testimonial for Nicole Chambers

I hired Nicole for the birth of my second child. After not having a doula the first time, I can say without hesitation it was the best decision we made.

During my pregnancy Nicole was a wealth of knowledge. She encouraged us to make informed decisions and was able to guide me to all the information necessary to allow me to make the best choices for myself and my baby. She created comfortable and illuminating prenatal classes that left my partner and I learning more about each other and feeling confident about our upcoming birth.

During the beginning stages of my labour Nicole was available to answer every single question and concern I had. When our home birth plans became challenged she again helped to quickly gather information for us so we knew every option we had and were able to make the best decisions for our family. I felt supported and uplifted through every decision we made, and Nicole ensured our whole team knew of our choices and encouraged us to continue to advocate for what we wanted.

Talented in so many ways, Nicole had endless ways to keep the day positive and fun. She had pain management techniques for me, for my partner to do for me, and for us to do together. She showed me how to keep our baby in optimal positioning. She had inspiring words to keep me motivated & my mood light. She even helped my partner to install baby's car seat!

Once I was in active labour Nicole was at my side the entire time. She was loving & comforting. From a sip of water, to a ball for my back, to a confident "you're doing amazing", she somehow knew exactly what I needed and when. Nicole held my hand & cheered me on while I birthed my baby, it was an empowering and wonderful experience.

I will hire Nicole for any more births we have, and I will strongly recommend her to anyone considering a doula. She was a key part of our wonderful birth story, and I am beyond grateful for her incredible support.
