Meet Nicole

Hi! I'm Nicole—a wife, mama of three, childbirth educator, and birth and postpartum doula. My husband and I have called the Bay Area home for more than 20 years, where we've raised our family and built a life we love.

Before becoming a doula, I worked in account management and human resources. Birth wasn't part of my career plan—it became a calling.

My first pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience left me with more questions than answers. While everyone was focused on a healthy baby, I found myself searching for someone who cared just as deeply about the mother's experience. That search led me to doula training in 2010, and I knew almost immediately that I had found the work I was meant to do.

My own birth experiences have been very different, and they've taught me firsthand the difference preparation, compassionate care, and a supportive team can make. I believe the birth experience is shaped by so much more than where or how your baby is born. It's shaped by:

The preparation you invest in
The people you choose to surround you
The support you receive
The voices that speak into your heart

That's why I'm passionate about helping families prepare intentionally—mind, heart, and body—so they enter birth with confidence instead of fear and feel supported no matter how their story unfolds.

Services

I take a limited number of birth and postpartum clients each month so I can provide personal, focused care.

In addition to birth and postpartum doula support, I also offer childbirth preparation classes, breastfeeding and newborn care classes, prenatal and postpartum planning, and in-home labor rehearsal sessions.

Education & Professional Development

I've been supporting families since 2011 and remain committed to ongoing education. My training includes birth and postpartum doula care, childbirth education, breastfeeding support, optimal fetal positioning, trauma-informed birth support, and evidence-based maternity care.

I continue learning through conferences, workshops, current research, and regular collaboration with fellow doulas, midwives, lactation consultants, and other birth professionals so the families I serve receive thoughtful, up-to-date care.
