Working with Nikki was an absolute pleasure. We met her in a teaching capacity for one of Emory's birth classes, quickly we felt like she was a good educator and had great communication skills. When we were looking for doulas we remembered her from the class. We found her during our third trimester and right off the bat after connecting for doula services, we were receiving great guidance regarding our birth plan with informative examples. She was adaptable to different communication styles, we preferred text and she was open and very responsive to any questions we had. I found the exercises and guided meditations she sent especially helpful at relieving some of my tension and the motivational texts kept me going throughout the final weeks!
We ended up having an uncomplicated, although unexpected c-section, so we used our in person time with Nikki for a postpartum visit in the hospital. She assisted with swaddling and breastfeeding guidance and generally helped talk us through some of the initial phases of newborn life. We then had our official postpartum visit with her a few weeks later to help us with introducing paced bottle feeding to our son, it was very successful.
Overall we had a great time with Nikki and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula.
