I am a medical student, future anesthesiologist, and I can honestly say that it kind of colored my experience about having a doula at my wifes birth. Now, I am humbly say that I was wrong and that I am eternally grateful for Nicole's presence in our lives during the birthing process. She was just so genuine and willing to meet me where I was at. She never pushed me into being more active or passive, but let me come around to the birthing plan that my wife choose.
After seeing so many births I thought I was ready for the birth of our child. I was not, especially the moment, little Margaret was born. She stayed by my wife's side while I was completely focused on our little one who came into this world with a bit of fluid in her lungs. Nicole grounded us through those terrifying moments. How can you thank someone enough for being your emotional and mental support through one of life's more challenging moments.
Outside of the labor, Nicole has been what I'd call a famalial professional. She felt like the mom/sister that would help you through birth but was still in touch with the fact that this was her work. This delicate balance was key to changing my mind about having a doula. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone I know and most importantly, I know that I would want her as our doula again, if and when we have a next. Thank you so much, you have changed me for the better, and my simple words can no do justice to my memory of you.
