The Birth Doula
I am a birth and postnatal doula, offering all aspects of doula support to women, birthing people and families in the Essex area.
My services range from antenatal preparation; birth rights and choices, birth plan/preference creation and information sharing.
To in person birth support either at home or in hospital, and following up with postnatal care at home for you, your baby and your family.
The Birth came to be the name of my doula services because I firmly believe that the birth of a child also means the birth of a parent and a family. It is such a unique time for you all and as a birth and postnatal doula I aim to support each of you emotionally and physically so that you all thrive during this period of growth.
Diligent Doula
Hello I’m Nikki,
I’m an accredited Birth and Postnatal Doula and Hypnobirthing Instructor. I’m from London but moved to Essex when I decided to start a family.
For as long as I can remember I have been fascinated about anything pregnancy, birth and baby related. Giving birth to my own two daughters, only served to increase and ignited that passion. A desire to enter into the perinatal world grew and grew and finally I took the plunge and followed my heart in training as a Doula. It was the best decision I have ever made, offering complete, unconditional support to families on their journeys is an absolute joy and privilege and I never take for granted.
Birth is a journey. We start out roughly knowing the route we would like to take but like every walk of life, there can be twists, turns and unpredictability. My role is to never advise but to support and give you confidence in your own ability to achieve the experience you want, regardless of which route it takes. To make you feel prepared and heard with your questions answered and feel totally calm and in control.
As your Birth doula I offer unconditional, informative support, not just to you but to your partner. What their role is and how I can support them and they can support you, helping to achieve the birth experience you want and deserve. I have attended births where I have been the sole birth support and I am completely comfortable and ready to hold your hand that little bit tighter if needed.
