Testimonial for Nikki Reeves (ICEA doula)
I cannot begin to say enough good things about Nikki. After a long journey of trying to conceive (and even longer time learning about birth, doulas, etc.), we were finally expecting our miracle child in June.
I knew I wanted to have a doula on my birth team. From the very start, Nikki was quick to respond, offered to meet us in person for a consultation, and provided us clear information on the process. She let me borrow some fantastic books and offered us many resources and words of encouragement along the way. She was always apprised of my prenatal visits and how baby was doing. She was able to tailor our workshop to focus on subjects that mattered to me and my husband. I was always filled with questions and Nikki never hesitated to validate me and address those questions with patience. She went above and beyond the support tasks of a doula, including offering advice and perspective on the challenges if new motherhood.
When it came time to labor, Nikki helped us have an amazing birth. She encouraged me during a very quick unmedicated labor that started out with some alarming signs. I always felt supported and so did my husband. During the pushing stage, I was having trouble directing my breathing and she brought me back into focus. She worked so well with our midwife and nurses throughout the whole process and even in postpartum, was available for us.
Needless to say, we are so happy and grateful to have had Nikki on our birth team. If you are considering a doula, don't hesitate to contact her.
