About me

Hello my name is Nia, I was introduced to the wonderful world of birth work during my sister’s pregnancy. As I was helping the practitioner, she hinted at the fact that she was a Doula. Adding, that I would do well in that field due to my caring nature. After more research, I began seeing the need for this service and fell in love with this industry. In 2019, I became a Dona trained Birth Doula, obtained certifications in: Newborn Care Specialist (NCS), Postpartum Doula(PPD), Basic Life Support(BLS), Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP), CPR, First Aid and trained in Benkung Belly Binding. I’ve had the pleasure of supporting parents with their newborns days and nights, provided care for families across states, families with multiples, parents with disabilities and supported births in both hospitals and birth centers. I’ve learned to be more understanding, open to new ideas and sensitive in different situations. It’s everything I thought it would be and more. I still find the time to be a supportive wife to my husband, homeschool my son, sing , brush up on my Spanish even play Pickle ball. I hope to support as many families as I can while enjoying this adventure, looking forward to being apart of your families’ journey!

am so grateful to have had Nia as my doula. Going into this birth, my goal was a VBAC, and while I didn’t end up with the exact birth I had dreamed of, Nia made sure the experience was as close to it as possible. From the very beginning, she truly listened to me and understood what mattered most. During labor, she was a calm, grounding presence and an incredible advocate—making sure my voice was heard, my preferences were respected, and that I was comfortable every step of the way. She knew when to step in, when to speak up for me, and when to simply offer quiet reassurance. Her knowledge, confidence, and compassion made a huge difference in how safe and supported I felt. Even when plans changed, I never felt alone or rushed; I felt cared for and empowered. Nia supported not just me, but my partner as well, helping us feel informed and confident throughout the process. If you are looking for a doula who will advocate fiercely for you, honor your birth goals, and support you with kindness and strength, I cannot recommend Nia enough. She made a challenging experience feel deeply supported and meaningful, and I will always be thankful for that.

Working with Nia was truly an amazing experience. She made sure to include my husband throughout the entire process, which helped us feel connected and confident as a team. She guided us through so many helpful exercises and took the time to teach me and physically show me different labor positions that made my experience feel more manageable and empowering. Her knowledge, calm presence, and ability to explain things clearly made a huge difference during my labor. I trusted her so much that I didn’t hesitate to hire her again for my second birth. Nia is truly incredible to work with, and I’m so grateful for the support she provided our family.
