Nicole

I live with my rambunctious toddler, and my husband. We love exploring the outdoors and attending baby playgroups together. I also love listening to podcasts and dancing in Zumba classes. I have completed both Holistic Birth Doula & Postpartum Doula training through MotherWit Doula Care, as well as the Step 2 Education Breastfeeding Essentials course. I am certified in CPR-C for your peace of mind. I have been mentored by Morag Hastings of Apple Blossom Families and Dancing Star Birth. My Doula style is rooted in nourishment, instincts and empowerment. As my client, I strive to help you become informed so you feel confident making educated, evidence-based choices to determine your value system for your birthing experience. I will honour and support those values, encouraging you to root into your instincts. I create space to acknowledge the transformation into parenthood by supporting your family so you feel grounded throughout this time of transition. I have a non-judgemental approach, and strive to be a safe space where my clients can count on open discussions. At your birth, I tune into you and your support people to anticipate your needs, and take care of small details in maintaining the environment, to promote a more nurturing space for you all. I also offer postpartum support to help your family adjust to the postpartum period.
