Testimonial for Nicole Chambers
Nicole was the doula for our first child's birth. Having been our first experience, we did not know what to expect. We met with our midwives before meeting Nicole and her team, and I always felt as if a certain level of empathy and emotional connection was missing from the midwives. Don't get me wrong, they do an amazing job, but their expertise seems to be more medically based. The first time we met with Nicole, I felt that my experience in pregnancy was finally being acknowledged. She asked all of the right questons to get a deep understanding of myself and my husband, to fully understand who we were and what we wished for in our birth story.
When the pregnancy was coming to an end and the labour began, Nicole gave my husband and I her 100%. She was the single physical presence that gave me comfort and guided me throughout the entire labour. She reassured me and my husband that everything happening was normal and natural. When we got to the hospital, she explained everything I needed to know (for example, when an inexperienced nurse checked me and it left me in a ton of pain she stated that it should not feel that way and helped us get a more experienced nurse to do the job). Most of all, she never judged a decision we made and encouraged me when I felt like giving up. I would recommend her support to anyone I know, and plan to use her services for any future babies.
