We could not have asked for a better experience then we had with Nicole. She came over for a couple appointments in advanced of baby’s birthday to help with what to expect prenatal, postnatal and on the big day. From these meetings I was comfortable knowing what I was getting into and felt I had the appropriate tools to have a smooth labor. Nicole was easily available by phone or email for any questions, comments, concerns through the whole process. On the day I started to have contractions, I was able to give Nicole a call and had her give me a pep talk on what the day may look like. Later in the day when my contractions had intensified, she was happy to drop what she was doing to come to my home for support before we headed to the birthing center. At the birthing center she did amazing in making sure I was as comfortable as possible, suggesting different positions, giving alternatives, and doing different comfort measures for me such as a head massage, music, essential oils and so much more. She made sure to support my husband as well – letting him have breaks and giving him ways he could comfort me. Nicole documented the day of for us with taking really great pictures and recording a timeline of the day.
Beyond my happiness of working with Nicole, the midwife and assistant both made comments that Nicole was one of the best doulas they had worked with. I had a follow up appointment about a week after birth with my midwife and again she commented on Nicole’s abilities and wondered how I had found such an awesome doula.
I would highly recommend having Nicole be a part of your birth story.
