Hand in Hand Doula

​
Hello, I'm Nikki. Welcome to my website. If you want to take control of your birth and have a powerful, positive experience you're in the right place!
Childbirth is a life changing experience and a memory that will stay with you forever. I support people who want more from their birth than just surviving it, they know they deserve the birth of their dreams, a birth that brings them joy, a birth that they can look back on with pride and think "Yes..I did that! "
​
If you’ve found me, it’s because you don’t want to hand over your power or simply go with the flow. You want to take control of your birth, feel confident, powerful and birth the way you want. You’re looking for personalised, respectful birth support that works for you, not the maternity system. You want someone by your side who truly listens, fiercely advocates for your choices and provides unconditional support every step of the way.​
​
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, I’ll walk alongside you as you prepare for birth by supporting you to 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 at the centre of my care. I want you to make confident decisions that are right for you and have someone by your side who gets it.
​
​I’m passionate about physiological birth and supporting women who want to reclaim birth as something natural and not medical. But most importantly I believe that every woman has the right to birth their baby their way.

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. We are incredibly grateful to Nikki for everything she has done for us and would recommend her to anyone."
