We had Nicole as our Doula for the birth of our child back in July 2023. She was amazing. She was so helpful in preparing us for what we needed post-partum because as first time parents, there are details you miss or things that you never knew you would need. She helped us put together a birth plan, we wanted as natural of a birth as possible, but if needed she can help us voice what we wanted as a medical intervention if we couldn't do it ourselves. During labour, she was an amazing support, she has this 'sling' that she uses to help with contractions, which help so much during the labour process. She was a calming presence and she had this calming voice that helped to guide you or encourage you during labour, it was so helpful especially when things got real rough. She was there the whole time when contractions started to when our baby was born. She made sure I had my opinions voiced in the labour room if there were decisions or if I needed anything, or wanted any changes or was uncomfortable in any way. I think we would've definitely been more lost or more anxious if we didn't have Nicole with us during preganncy, at birth, and after pregnancy. She helped with latching the baby for breastfeeding the first time. She really helped you with how to latch properly so you don't get hurt, and what to do if you do have a soreness or pain. After birth, she helped with our placenta encapsulation, and she also checked in on us multiple times to make sure we had the support we needed post partum, and to make sure we were doing well with our new born. I've recommended Nicole to friends that are looking for a Doula because we definitely had such a positive and amazing experience. If I have a second, I definitely want her by my side again.
