About Nicole

Hi! I’m Nicole and here’s a bit about my story. I became a Birth and Postpartum Doula and Newborn Care Specialist because I truly believe parents deserve to feel supported, not overwhelmed, during pregnancy, birth, and the early postpartum stage. This season is tender, emotional, and life-changing and my role is to be by your side with compassion, knowledge, and reassurance. I meet families exactly where they are—honoring their choices, their culture, and their intuition. While providing evidence-based guidance and calm, grounded support, and respect for each family’s values, and understanding that there is no “right” way to give birth or parent a newborn. Whether you’re preparing for labor, navigating the early postpartum weeks, or adjusting to life with a new baby, my goal is to create a calm, non-judgmental space where YOU feel confident in your choices and supported every step of the way. My philosophy is centered on nurturing both baby and parent. Whether I’m offering hands-on newborn care, emotional support during birth, my goal is for you to feel seen, heard, and never alone. I focus on promoting rest, recovery, and bonding while helping families establish gentle routines that feel realistic and sustainable. I view my role as both a guide and a steady presence. I believe when parents feel supported, they thrive — and that belief guides every part of the care I provide.

My husband and I are incredibly grateful for Nicole’s support throughout my pregnancy and during our baby’s birth. Her calm presence and thoughtful guidance were invaluable, especially when we needed to make important decisions at the hospital for both me and our baby. She helped us feel informed, grounded, and confident every step of the way. My husband also felt truly supported and empowered in his role, which meant so much to us. We wholeheartedly recommend her for both prenatal and birth support.

We had a wonderful experience with our doula Nicole. She was calm, supportive, and incredibly helpful throughout labor and birth. Her presence made us feel more confident and cared for, and we’re so grateful for her support. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and knowledgeable doula.

I first met Nicole about 4 years ago when she worked through an agency, and I’m so happy to see her now doing independent work. She has always been incredible and it’s wonderful that more families can benefit from her amazing care and guidance. Her professionalism, warmth, and genuine love for what she does made me feel supported and confident as a new parent. She went above and beyond for us. Not only did she care for our son, but she also made sure I was taking care of myself. Helping me rest, encouraging self-care and helping me achieve my breastfeeding goals. I highly recommend her to anyone thinking on hiring a doula who actually loves what they do!
