Birth & Postpartum Doula Services
Personalized support for your unique journey.
Hi, I’m Nicole! (she/her) I live in New Westminster with my rambunctious toddler, and my husband. We love exploring the outdoors and attending toddler playgroups together. I also love listening to podcasts, dancing in Zumba classes and walking dogs at the local animal shelter.
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 love connection with expecting families also as a Prenatal Educator with Birth By Bloom and teach out of Pomegranate Midwives in East Vancouver and Dancing Cat Yoga in New Westminster. I am certified in CPR-C (trained in CPR for babies, children and adults) for your peace of mind. I have completed a mentorship from Morag Hastings of Apple Blossom Families and Dancing Star Birth.
My goal is for my clients to go into their birthing experience feeling well-informed and confident when making educated and evidence-based decisions through their birth. We dive deep into what to expect, allowing families to determine what’s most important to them throughout this rite of passage and I believe this reduces trauma in the birth space. I will honour and support those values, encouraging you to root into your instincts and trust your body throughout this physiologic process. I create space to acknowledge this transformation into parenthood and support your family so you feel grounded throughout this time of transition.
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 during the postpartum period.
“Nicole was an amazing support during labour and birth; she did everything from acupressure on my feet during contractions, keeping us hydrated, to helping us leave the house with everything we needed when I started pushing at home and wanted to get to the hospital.”
