The decision to go forward and hire a doula is one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life, hands down! Nicole was my person. She went through every decision with me. She made sure I understood my choices and she helped me to feel confident in my decisions. She gave me the honour of controlling my own birth! To this day, I know she was my saving grace! If or when I have another child, I want her there beside me every step of the way.

I have been raving about your skills to every single person that has asked me about my experience. I truly came out of the labour and delivery feeling empowered and calm. I felt your steady, calm and competent presence throughout, which helped me to manage the pain and make decisions about what to do, what was coming next etc. I am amazed at your body awareness and I valued this in what is obviously a very physical experience. You knew which positions to try, how to hold me, where to apply pressure etc. and really helped my partner Aaron support me which we both really appreciate. I really don't think I could have done it without you Nicole!

We cannot say enough good things about Nicole. When we met her for the first time we instantly felt connected to her: she is warm, funny, empathetic and passionate about her work! She was always a calming voice of reason when we needed her to be, and our biggest advocate as well. I remember being in the hospital and seeing Nicole's face as she walked into the room. Having her by my side during labour, placement of my epidural, helping me work through tough decisions and finally helping me latch my newborn baby were all things I know I would have struggled with without her. She will always hold a special place in our hearts! So much so that we rehired her for the pregnancy and birth of our second baby. Although things were different with Covid, again her help and support was invaluable.
