Birth & Postnatal Doula

Mum of 3

Reiki Level 2 Practitioner

Infant first aid trained

Hello, I'm Nicola. Firstly, congratulations on your pregnancy! I listened to the call to Doula-ing after having three very different births experience’s - and haven't looked back! 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, parent autonomy, and choice when navigating the maternity system. 

Postnatally, I can support with providing healing and nutritional meals/snacks, allowing rest, feeding support, helping with physical tasks and a safe space to process your birth. I will always listen and your feelings are all valid. 

In my spare time (ha!) I volunteer for Baby Umbrella, and am carrying out Peer Support & Babywearing training. I have an unnecessary love for coffee and try to spend as much time amongst trees or the sea as possible!
