Testimonial for Nicole JeanBaptiste
From the first conversation we had with Nicole, my husband and I were impressed with her authenticity, calm and assured demeanor. It was a no brainer for us to bring her on as our doula. It was important for me to have a doula who did, in fact, feel like family and her aptly named company “sésé” did not disappoint.
Although I wanted to have a natural birth with my midwife and Nicole as my team, fate had me in a two day induction with off the charts contractions - most of which was unmedicated. I would’t have made it without Nicole and her direction to my husband. Nicole is a rock - she’s reliable, she always knows what to say, she’s present and she hangs in there when the going gets tough. Nicole was by my side for at least 24 hours straight, she was there as I got the news that I had to have an emergency c-section and she was there when they wheeled me into the recovery room.
As traumatic as that whole experience could have been, I feel like Nicole always checked in and made sure I felt like I had a voice in the midst of it all. Since the birth, she has also been super helpful in helping me process my many, many feelings and she has even done some laundry folding and dishes. The only downside is that this whole process is over and we don’t get to hang anymore but my husband and I will keep in touch with her - she’s inner circle now!
