During a family's pregnancy, one way I get to know them is through creating a birth "plan" and preparing for the childbirth experience. In labor, I work with mothers using active coping and pain management skills, while providing a sense of nurture. In postpartum, I offer traditional and practical services to encourage overall family wellness.
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.
