I don’t know that I have the words to adequately express just how amazing it was to have Nicole as our doula. My husband and I found Nicole early on in our pregnancy, and from our very first “interview” meeting we knew that she was meant to be at our birth. She has a wealth of knowledge that was so valuable to have as first time parents. What really stood out was her calm, caring, and empowering presence. After each meeting with Nicole I felt confident that I could have the positive, unmedicated birth that I had always dreamed about.
On the day of birth, Nicole helped with positions and techniques that not only provided comfort but helped establish active labor. She was by my side, encouraging me every step of the way that day and knowing she was there helped me feel safe and confident. She also helped to support my husband, reminding him to take breaks to stay hydrated or eat and showing him techniques to aid in my comfort. While other parts of that day may be a bit of a blur, I’ll never forget the feeling of Nicole’s hand on my arm and the joy in her voice as we finally welcomed our baby boy into the world - she genuinely cares about the families she works with and it was such a pleasure to have her on our team and by our side during pregnancy and birth.
