About Me

Hi, I'm Nicole! I'm a birth and postpartum doula devoted to helping families create the birth experience that feels right for them. The truth is, I've been "doula-ing" family and friends for years, I just never knew there was a title for it! Supporting families through this transformative time is truly my calling.

With over 25 years as an HR manager, I bring not only calm and confidence to birth work, but also deep expertise in California employment and leave laws. I love helping new parents navigate maternity leave and workplace rights while they prepare for this beautiful transformation into parenthood.

As a BIPOC-trained doula, I provide culturally responsive, advocacy-centered support, with an understanding of the unique disparities and challenges many Black, Indigenous, and People of Color families may experience throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care.

When I'm not supporting families, I recharge by working out, spending time with my daughter, and loving on my furbaby.

Practice Philosophy

I believe every birth is unique, and every family deserves support that is respectful, dependable, compassionate, and rooted in trust. My purpose is to provide heartfelt, reliable, and knowledgeable support, emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually, so you feel seen, safe, and empowered every step of the way.

My approach is grounded in respect and trust. I listen deeply, honor your choices, and tailor my care to your unique needs, whether you're planning as first-time parents, an unmedicated birth, a VBAC, a high-risk experience, or welcoming multiples. You'll always have a doula who shows up fully, ready to advocate for you and your vision with calm strength and genuine compassion.

Overall, my goal is for every family to feel heard, respected, informed, and fully supported during one of life's most vulnerable and transformative moments.
