Hand in Hand Doula
Childbirth is a profoundly powerful and transformative time in your life. I would be honoured to walk alongside you, supporting you to trust your body, step into your power, and feel calm, confident and in control of your journey.
Your birth and postpartum experience is entirely your own, and you deserve care that honours your individuality and unique choices. I’m here to listen with compassion, hold space, and offer respectful, nurturing support. I will provide loving care that is centred around you, adapting to your needs every step of the way.
Your birth is a moment that will stay with you for forever. By feeling fully supported, informed and in control, you can shape it into a positive, empowering experience, one that leaves you with beautiful memories and gives your baby the best possible start.
Hello! I’m Nikki aka
Hand in Hand Doula
If you want to take control of your birth and have a powerful, life-changing experience, you're in the right place
Every woman deserves to have a powerful birth, a birth that brings them joy, a birth that they can look back on with pride
As your doula I'm here to believe in you and see your strength. I'm not here to teach you how to give birth or tell you what to do. Instead, through antenatal education, birth preparation and continuous doula support, I’ll help you tune into your instincts, connect with your nervous system and feel safe in your body. My support is always deeply rooted in evidence, I have no agenda and will always put you, your choices and intuition at the centre of my care.
I’m deeply passionate about physiological birth and walking alongside women as they reclaim birth as something powerful and not clinical. But most importantly I believe that every woman has the right to birth their baby their way. I want you to make confident decisions that are right for you and have someone by your side who gets it.
My Approach as a Doula
Client Testimonial
"Nikki was incredible from day one - she made a real effort to understand how she could best support us in our unique circumstances and listened to all of our feelings and concerns, as this being our first baby we had no idea what to expect! Her prenatal visits were very much led by us and however we wanted to use the time to get the most from our sessions. When it came to our birth, unfortunately there were no homebirth midwives available, so we ended up having our son in hospital. Nikki is one of the main reasons why we can still say we had an incredibly positive birth experience - being in an environment we hadn't planned for meant her advocating for my wishes and being there to support myself and my husband was absolutely invaluable. When our son was born, Nikki supported us in achieving that magical first breast feed, making sure I was comfortable with baby's latch and position. I had some challenges with breastfeeding in the first few weeks and Nikki was so generous with her time, always on hand to answer our questions or point us in the right direction. We are incredibly grateful to Nikki for everything she has done for us and would recommend her to anyone."
