"After two of my close friends used Nikki and highly recommended her I knew she was the right doula for us!
Nikki has supported us throughout our pregnancy and is still supporting us 3 months after the arrival of our baby boy. We don’t know where we’d be without her help!
I had an elective c-section after finding out our baby was breech. Although this wasn’t the birth I had envisioned Nikki helped us to navigate the nhs to make the experience a personable and positive one.
After the arrival of our baby boy Nikki has helped us with breastfeeding support, sleep and lots of ridiculous questions we’ve had about looking after a new baby for the very first time!
Without Nikki’s support there’s not a shadow of a doubt I would have been able to continue breastfeeding. We encountered a number of problems including tongue tie and post birth tension. Nikki assessed what was happening and with careful planning and feeding support got us back on track! For this I will be forever grateful! She’s been super responsive to our needs and has bent over backwards to make sure we were supported. Her knowledge and experience is fantastic and we can’t recommend her enough!"
