Testimonial for Nicole Sawyers Todd, CLD, CPPD, HCHD, CHCE, SM
Nicole was amazing! I had the most wonderful home birth experience and Nicole was a huge reason it was such a success. She provided a calm presence and never left my side. She literally has the most calming voice of anyone I know! She knew exactly what body massages I needed during certain parts of the labor to make it more tolerable. This was my first baby and my active labor was relatively short - I really believe Nicole had a huge part in that because I was able to remain calm and relaxed the whole time knowing I had her by my side. Nicole is so intuitive with exactly what you need during labor, whether you need her to stay by your side the whole time, need a cheerleader, or need some space, somehow she knows exactly what to do in each moment!
Nicole truly appreciates how personal and special the labor/birth experience is and doesn’t take for granted the fact that you are sharing that very special moment of your life with her. She loves what she does and you can really feel it!
Nicole also provides so many helpful resources during the course of your pregnancy. She really makes you feel empowered to be able to have the birth experience you want - whether it’s a home birth, hospital birth, etc. She is always available to answer questions.
After the birth I had some anxiety and Nicole was always available to talk to me on the phone and provide emotional support. She made me feel like I wasn’t alone and normalized a lot of what I was feeling.
I couldn’t recommend Nicole enough - she is absolutely amazing!
