About Me

Hello, my name is Nikki. I'm a Birth and Postnatal Doula, Breastfeeding Counsellor and also a mum of 3 based in Leeds, West Yorkshire. Outside of work I love to curl up with a cup of tea and get lost in a page turning thriller. I love music - it helps me recharge. I do a lot of travelling - I love the sea and historical places, but my favourite place is Whitby. It holds a special place in my heart, its unique energy instantly makes me feel a calm connection.
​
I was drawn to becoming a Doula after having worked in the NHS for over 10 years supporting new parents within children's services and infant feeding. Sadly, I was finding more often that women were experiencing birth trauma which was significantly impacting their postpartum and breastfeeding journeys. I knew that I wanted to make a difference to families by supporting them to have the best birth and postpartum experience possible - so here I am, and I feel lucky to be doing what I love and being part of something so special!
​
I am passionate about supporting informed decision making and ensuring women know their birth rights. I believe that you should feel empowered, respected and in control as you navigate the perinatal period. I want you to make confident decisions that are right for you and feel truly supported all the way. As your Doula or Breastfeeding Counsellor I am committed to being by your side, always focusing on you and providing all the support and encouragement you need.

"Nikki was absolutely amazing. I was ready to give up on breastfeeding, as I was tired and my baby was not latching correctly. Nikki helped with the latching and the positioning and spent time answering my queries. She has been a blessing. We have been exclusively breastfeeding for 6 weeks now and baby is gaining weight nicely and thriving. This is all due to Nikki, I am so grateful for her support."
