"As a first time mother, I definitely saw the need for a doula and after my husband and I first met with Nicole, we both knew immediately that she would be the perfect person to help us welcome our baby boy into this world. Throughout my pregnancy, Nicole was a very valuable asset to both my husband and I. She not only was there to answer any and all questions but she provided us with all the information we needed to develop the birth plan that best fit us.
Having a doula allowed my husband and I to truly relax during labour as we felt confident in the advice she provided us with. My husband always referred to her as his "cheat sheet" because if he didn't know what to do he knew he could lean on Nicole to provide possible options.
We would have never achieved the birth story that we have to tell today without a doula. When we both wanted to give up, Nicole was there to give us confidence and remind us both of the birth we wanted. This experience definitely brought my husband and I even closer together as Nicole made sure he was a huge part of our son's birth. Never once did we feel Nicole over stepped her role as a doula, she was simply there as a guide for both my husband and I. Nicole helped us both truly relax and provided us with the comfort and support we needed. Thanks Nicole for all that you do and did for our family."

"We hired Nicole as a Doula for both of our son's births. It's hard to put into words the depth of our gratitude for her and everything she did for us in those moments. We were so much more informed because of the time we got to spend with her before each birth, and with all the information she shared with us. Having her there helped me to feel so empowered, helped my husband feel much more confident, and helped us both have the opportunity to share those quite special moments without interruption because she just took care of all the extra little things. She was an incredible guide through my labors and the best cheerleader.
She also was able to capture some of those most precious moments in camera for us which are things I will now be able to treasure forever. No matter how we needed her she was there and she really give you the confidence and freedom to own your birth. Nicole will forever hold a special place in our hearts!"

"Being new in town and first time parents away from family and friends, we decided to hire Nicole to help us with the birth of our daughter. We interviewed a few local doulas, but decided to go with Nicole because we were impressed with her passion and knowledge, and were drawn to her upbeat personality. Nicole was immensely helpful throughout the whole process and we never felt at all uncomfortable asking her or talking to her about anything in the weeks leading up to the birth, during the birth, and afterwards. Nicole was exactly what we needed when we needed it and through every emotion and every challenge, Nicole was right there cheering us on. A person who can repeat the same things over and over and over again and mean them EVERY SINGLE TIME, well that is a special person, the kind of person you WANT and NEED at your delivery bedside, and why we highly recommend Nicole to any expecting parents. We truly feel that Nicole was the glue that kept us from falling apart during what ended up being a much more challenging experience than we expected! Furthermore, in addition to being an amazing doula, Nicole is a wonderful person. We feel very fortunate to have had Nicole as our doula, and now proudly consider her our friend."

"As a grandmother-to-be, who was also two provinces away, having someone to support, encourage and advocate on behalf of my daughter and son-in-law,
was very important to me. Nicole not only met, but exceeded my expectations. She went above and beyond for them, during a very challenging labour and delivery, and she willingly included me, every step of the way, in such a manner, that I almost felt I was there. My daughter felt an immediate connection with Nicole. Nicole took the time to get to know her and the additional health challenges she had, that greatly impacted the pregnancy as well as the labour and delivery. Nicole has such compassion and passion, that I am confident, should you choose to contact her, you will not be disappointed."

"I (Victoria) has a condition called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome which brought it's own unique challenges on our sometimes bumpy road to parenthood. Nicole helped us navigate and come up with plans to help handle issues as they arose, taking the time to get to know us as a family (even some of the extended), my condition, and build relationship with grace, humor, and expertise.
Throughout the pregnancy, eventual induction, and emergency c-section, Nicole worked with us as we explored our options helping us have the best pregnancy we could while keeping our ultimate goal in mind – healthy mom and healthy baby.
Nicole continued to be an immeasurable source after JJ’s arrival, reassuring us that we weren’t alone, presenting options for parenting challenges to our sleep deprived brains, and supplying emotional support through her presence and the occasional (amazing) baked good ;)
I honestly cannot imagine having gone through this experience of entering parenthood without Nicole’s support and I would enthusiastically recommend her to any family."
