“...Nikki’s presence and practical guidance made it possible for us to work as a team, and assisted Joy to go through the labour naturally. Rather than supplanting my role as supporter for Joy, Nikki actually empowered me with advice, relaxation techniques, knowledge and sensitivity to our couple relationship”. - Keith G. ~ Eastern Passage, Nova Scotia father to Abigail born March 2005 ************************** “...our daughter is breastfeeding up a storm, gaining half a pound a week, and smiling often. In a word, she’s thriving and Nikki is one of the reasons why she is doing so well. I feel very lucky to have had Nikki as a doula. She is knowledgeable, organized, reliable, caring and very passionate about her work. I feel she has a true calling and I would recommend Nikki to anyone looking for a doula.” Kathryn M.—Halifax, Nova Scotia, mother to Eva born March 2005 *********************** "I cannot say enough good things about Nikki -- her organization, attention to detail and committment to me, before, during and after my labour was fantastic. Nikki was instrumental in helping me to achieve my goal of having a low or no intervention labour. She makes you feel that you can do anything! I wouldn't hesitate to seek out her services for the next time." Sonya B. - Cow Bay, Nova Scotia, mother to Breagh born March 2005 ************************** "When I was pregnant with my first baby, I was most afraid of the impending labour and delivery. More than anything, it was the fear of the unknown. Many of the women in my neighbourhood told me countless horror stories of deliveries gone wrong. The books I read seemed to deal with extreme cases or situations that did not relate to me. However, it was Nikki that I could rely on for clear information, and what my realistic expectations should be. She answered my many questions simply with both confidence and a sense of humour. I appreciated her balanced approach in that she did not try to sugar-coast information or sensationalize it. In the end, I quickly and easily delivered my baby girl and I am grateful that I had Nikki as a resource for this remarkable and overwhelming event in my life." - Doris B. ~ Ottawa, Ontario mother to Sophia born in 2001 & Timothy in 2003 ************************* "Nikki has an ability to be present and empathetic and empathic. In the birthing room she was an extension of me in the sense that when I felt overwhelmed or vulnerable, she was with me, my partner, lending me strength, and drawing me back to my calm center. I feel blessed that Nikki was a part of the births of my two oldest children, and I know that she feels that too." - Nadine C.~ Nelson, British Columbia mother to Jayla (13) Shylane (10) & Curtis (8) ********************** "Having Nikki at the birth of my third child, Fiona, was a true gift. She traveled a long way to be with me for the last long days of my pregnancy. It was her company, our conversation and the many long walks in chilly March weather that kept my mind off my swollen and overdue condition. Nikki is truly in awe of pregnant women, she genuinely wants to be around them. Her manner is funny and light-hearted, soothing and supportive. Her presence is welcome anytime, anywhere. Because she loves what she does, she will make every woman feel the same way. I am happy for my only daughter that she was welcomed, not only by her parents who love her, but also by this cherished friend." - Jennifer B. ~ Woolwich, Maine mother to Ethan 1998, Angus 2002 & Fiona 2004. ****************************** "I think Nikki makes a wonderful doula. She is intuitive and compassionate to the needs of a pregnant woman. She brought humour and experience to assist in the delivery of my second son. Nikki knew what I needed before I did or before I could express it. She was always at my side with great encouragement and knowledge. I would recommend Nikki to any woman." - Twyla M. ~ Courtenay, British Columbia mother to Reed (8) & Sam (4)
