About me

I’m a Birth and Overnight Postpartum Doula who's been supporting birthing people in the St. Louis area for over decade. Additionally, I’ve been immersed in my career in Early Childhood Education since 2008. I've worked in daycare centers, been a live-in nanny for 7 years and ran my own in-home daycare for 8 years before closing and focusing solely on my doula work. Both of my careers marry together perfectly and together they have allowed me to help my clients build confidence in making informed choices every step of the way when it comes to laying the foundation for their parenting journey. With nearly two decades of education and real lived experiences, I bring a wealth of knowledge, tried and true newborn tricks, and an ability to meet you where you are, listening to your needs and building plans that help you feel confident, at ease and ready for all of the unknowns of parenthood!

Service introduction

My services exist to empower parents with evidence-based doula care throughout their pregnancy, birth and 4th trimester. When clients utilize my Birth Doula services, they are investing in their prenatal health, mental well-being, and building their confidence as parents and build a birth team that truly knows and supports them. With Nicole Mazanec Doula Services, that's exactly what you get, from your first prenatal visit through labor and into the postpartum window. I'll help you make informed, confident decisions every step of the way. You already know a doula isn't a guarantee. What a doula is is one powerful tool in your toolkit, and together, we'll build the rest. You'll find your voice, tap into your strength, and lay a solid foundation for your parenting journey. Overnight support allows you to get the restorative sleep you need while knowing your baby is being lovingly cared for. I provide responsive overnight newborn care, bringing baby to you only for feedings if breastfeeding, supporting pumping sessions, or fully managing bottles for formula-fed babies. I also help with all baby/feeding related chores, light household tasks, so you can wake up feeling well rested and ready start your day in a calm, refreshed home. My practice is made for parents on the softer side of crunchy. Naturally minded and evidence-based. You care about nourishing food and intentional living, and you also know that a slice of cake and a Netflix binge have their place too. You’ll find no judgment here. I hold space for all family dynamics and all kinds of choices, blending traditional wisdom with current science to support you as a whole family unit. Together, we enter parenthood confident, ready, grounded, and strong.
