About Me
Hey - Firstly, congratulations on your pregnancy!
I’m Nicola, mother of three and passionate about pregnancy, birth and beyond. I felt a calling to the birth world after three very different birth experiences of my own ranging from a hospital induction with artificial rupture of membranes & episiotomy (without consent!), a hospital water birth and most recently a low intervention, full physiological birth at home. Each one bringing it's own teachings and transformations!
I am particularly fired up for pro-choice, informed decisions and empowered parents.
I completed my Doula training with Continuum Doulas, which teaches a deeply layered and integrated model of Doula support of which I am proud to bring to my own Doula practice, along with my own experiences and other skills and training along the way!
I have a passion for heart led, purposeful work and believe the role of the Doula is such a privilege. I am Reiki II attuned, and love to bring this to my work by offering Reiki healing and chakra flow to help with physical and emotional stability during pregnancy, birth and after. I am a strong advocate for informed decisions, autonomy, and choice when navigating the maternity system.
Based in Kent, I cover pretty much all of Kent and some areas London & East Sussex. I volunteer regularly with Baby Umbrella and have lots of exciting plans I would love to make happen! These plans involve community spaces for new mothers and other women (no upper age limit) to come together and bring their dreams & wisdom to one space to create magic. Keep posted for this, it’s a way off yet but it’s going to happen!
If I’m not knee-deep in birth work, you’ll find me amongst trees, by the sea or anywhere that serves good coffee!
