Testimonial for Nicki Blackwell
From Mom: Nicki helped to prepare us for the birth experience I have always wanted. From helping to curate our affirmations, to practicing movement exercises, to being an emotional support and offering guidance, I felt more prepared going into labor than I had during my two previous births.
From the moment Nicki walked into the birth center, I felt a huge sense of relief. She gave me a second wind that carried us through the delivery of our sweet baby girl. One of the most helpful things for me was her knowledge of what was happening, what was to come, and how to move through it. It was such an amazing birth and Nicki was an integral part of it.
No matter what type of birth experience you are planning for, Nicki is a support I would recommend having with you on that journey. I would never have another baby without Nicki in the room!
From Dad: This was our third birth and the first time that, as the husband, I was going to be asked to support a natural one. I was feeling extremely anxious for the month or two prior to the due date. Nicki's initial consults were incredibly helpful. I was able to provide support each day and night helping provide Lizzy a comfort with the moves she taught. On the day of the delivery, I felt confident that I could be the teammate my wife needed, and then when Nicki arrived in the birthing center it was like the teamwork was just supercharged. While I stayed with Lizzy, she was our advocate, helping walk the nurses through our birthing plan, setting up the setting we wanted, and ensuring all of Lizzy's needs were met each step of the way. The birth itself was an incredible experience! Nicki was supportive, attentive, ultra present and a true advocate for the family every single step of the way. The experience was truly once in a lifetime and I genuinely don't believe it would have been the same for me without her there from the first consult and all the way through the birth and after!
