Compassionate evidence-based care for your family’s journey

Nicole Tawse Birth & Postpartum Doula in New Westminster

Meet Nicole

While pregnant with my son in 2020, I became fascinated with all things birth and quickly immersed myself in researching every aspect. With the pandemic at full force, I confronted the realization that my mom (who works in healthcare) would not be able to attend my birth and decided I wanted a doula to help me better understand the medical terms my care provider would be using with me when I would be very much preoccupied with labour. 

Despite having a stressful pregnancy, difficult labour and grueling postpartum period, our doula shined as a beacon of positivity, hope and love in the darkest time of my life, and I have a passion burning inside me to support and love on others the way she did for us. 

I am passionate about ensuring birthers and partners come out of this transformational experience feeling whole, and equipped to thrive throughout the transition. I love talking about physiological birth, evidence-based education (especially in the area of perceived “big babies” and biologically normal infant sleep), and helping my clients feel empowered to make and uphold choices that align with their values for their birth experience, and making space for the transformation that parenthood truly is.  

 My doula-style is Rooted In love, evidence, empowerment, instincts, and nourishment.
