Hiring Nicole as our Doula was one of the best decisions we ever made.
Before birth, Nicole met with us twice and was availble for consultation by phone for whatever we needed. During our in home sessions Nicole took a ton of time with us learning our plans and desires for our birthing time. She was incredibly helpful in helping us create a birth plan to express our wishes to our medical staff. As first time parents, she helped educate us on all our options for during our birthing time and had an endless supply of articles ready for whenever we needed them. She also helped me make one of the hardest decisons during my pregnancy, to switch midwife providers late into my third trimester. Nicole helped me advocate for myself when I wasn't feeling supported by my original midwife.
When it came to our actual birthing time, I can't imagine not having Nicole there. My delivery took a few unexpected turns and Nicole was there to help me navigate each one. During the pushing stage, while my medical providers were focused on running some tests necessary to keep me healthy, Nicole was there as a calm voice, guiding me through the hardest stage exactly as we had prepared (as if nothing abnormal had happened). She spent a ton of time with us that day and even ended up doing two births back to back in order to be there for our delivery.
We would completely recommend Nicole to anyone considering a doula.
