Hello! My name is Nicole with Your Journey Doula and I am passionate about returning a mother’s power back into the labor and delivery room. Though it has never truly left, I believe our culture and society has forced a chasm between a birthing woman and her own power, strength, and autonomy in her birthing space. Self-advocacy is no longer the norm and I want to help you discover your voice while supporting you emotionally and physically through your birth journey. Because it truly is YOUR journey!
What I will do as your doula:
- Provide unbiased and evidence based emotional and physical support
- Help you discover your own values and preferences regarding birth
- Provide support to your family
- Teach you comfort measures to manage pregnancy discomfort and prepare your body for birth
- Assist you in processing your birth experience
- Support and assist initial breastfeeding
- Foster a positive and harmonious environment between you, your support, and your health care team
- Model positive and effective communication and encourage it in the labor/birth space
What I don’t do as your doula:
- Make decisions or speak for you and your family
- Take the place of your partner or support person/people
- Undermine your medical team
- Provide medical services or advice/guidance
- Prescribe or administer any medical treatments or medicine
- Interpret medical information or attempt to diagnose

- Complimentary Consultation
