I asked Nia to support me for the birth of my second child. My first baby was born in my home country, so this was my first time giving birth in a different country. On top of that, we were preparing to move to another state shortly after delivery. I knew I would need not only physical support, but also emotional and multifaceted guidance during such a major transition in my life. As a non-native living in the United States and still unfamiliar with many aspects of parenting here, I was deeply grateful for how warmly and respectfully Nia supported me. She truly honors each family’s cultural background and values. I never once felt judged or misunderstood. Instead, I felt seen, heard, and cared for in a way that respected who I am and where I come from. Nia is incredibly intelligent and always eager to learn. She provided thoughtful, practical advice about adjusting to life as a family of four — from changes in daily routines, meals, and home environment to navigating challenges with two children. Whenever I had concerns or felt overwhelmed, she responded with calm, accurate, and reassuring guidance. I unfortunately experienced complications from my epidural anesthesia, and my postpartum recovery was not smooth at first. However, thanks to her attentive care, my physical recovery ended up being better than after my first birth. What touched me especially was how gently and thoughtfully she supported my husband and helped him understand how to care for me. She was also incredibly sensitive and kind in guiding us on how to help our first child adjust to becoming an older sibling. Her approach built trust within our whole family, and I felt completely safe in her hands. We moved out of state, so continuing her support was not possible — but if it had been, I would have gladly asked her to stay with us much longer. I am truly grateful for everything she has done for our family. Her support during this important chapter of my life meant more than I can express. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for compassionate, culturally sensitive, and highly professional postpartum support.

I had the privilege of having Nia support me through two of the most emotionally and physically challenging experiences of my life: my third labor and delivery in 2023, and a couple years after a very tough medical abortion. In both situations, her presence, care, and advocacy made all the difference. During my labor and delivery, Nia was incredibly comforting and attentive. She advocated for me in the hospital when I needed support, helped communicate my needs, and made sure I felt safe and heard throughout the entire process. Her calm, grounded energy kept me centered, and her encouragement helped me get through some of the toughest moments. When I later faced a medical abortion, Nia remained just as supportive. She accompanied me to my appointments, drove me to the procedure, stayed by my side the entire time, and made sure I wasn’t alone emotionally or physically. Afterward, she went above and beyond, coming home with me, bringing me tea and soup, and providing the comfort and reassurance I truly needed. Her compassion, reliability, and unconditional support were a 10/10. I genuinely would not have wanted anyone else by my side. Nia is someone who shows up fully, advocates fiercely, and cares deeply. I am incredibly grateful for her.

Nia has presented great customer service and support during my pregnancy the past few months. Even being states away she has shared important information needed for labor and postpartum. Nia exemplifies what it means to be a doula, supportive, kind, understanding and real. I would recommend her services to any woman giving birth and looking for that extra support.
