Services
**COVID-19 Update**
The way I offer support has had to change due to COVID-19 however I am still here and able to find a flexible way to support you in the way you need. Please still get in touch and we can chat through what our options are.
If you are interested in my birth doula services I offer a free no obligation meeting where we can find out a little about each other and discuss your needs and my requirements.
I believe good quality antenatal education and doula support should be available to all. If you feel you would benefit from any of my services but are not in a position to pay the full fee up front please do get in touch. I am open to payment plans and skill swaps for part payment. I also offer gift vouchers so let your friends and family know!
I cover many areas of Cornwall, including Truro, St Austell, The Roseland, Redruth, Falmouth, Newquay, Wadebridge, Bodmin, Fraddon, Grampound, St Blazey, Bugle, Padstow, Penryn.

"I saw Nicki in June 2019 for an all day session to learn about what to expect in labour. We focussed on inductions and what those drugs did to the body and I truly believe it was this knowledge that helped me make the right choices on the day as to what I felt I needed from the hospital staff. Nicki took away a lot of the fear that had been bubbling away inside of me (my first baby - IVF), she was so lovely and friendly, full of knowledge and just gives off a vibe, I can't describe it. Had I been in a position to have used her full Doula services, I wouldn't have hesitated. My birthing story was a bit traumatic in the end due to my own body not playing ball but even though I hadn't used her as a Doula, Nicki offered to help me talk things through if ever I needed to.
I can't recommend her highly enough, she is perfect at what she does and is a truly gifted carer, helping mothers bring new life into the world. Thank you Nicki. XxxX" - F,2019
Birth
Birth doula package includes-
" Everything Nicki did for us was amazing, empowering and supportive. We got the birth experience we wanted and I can't thank Nicki enough for her support before, during and after the birth of our second child. My only regret is not knowing her when my first was born, but she helped me to process some of that birth experience too. She is a great listener, truly fantastic as a doula and a wonderful passionate person" - B, 2018
Birth debrief-
This is a one off session for anyone who feels they would like to debrief their birth experience. It can last up to 3 hours and we can discuss anything you feel is important. I will listen without judgement, support you to reflect on your experience and unpick what happened. This can be helpful for anyone who wants to understand their birth. If afterwards you feel like you need more support or information I can signpost you to relevant services locally and nationally. £45
(If you feel you would really benefit from this service but cannot afford to pay please get in touch, I have a limited number of sessions available on a sliding scale of cost for those who need them.)
"Nicki is an incredible doula who has a huge knowledge of everything birth related ! She met with us several times beforehand to talk about our birthplan, offering and guiding us to figure out what would work best for our vision-- she is incredibly organised, and didn't leave any stone unturned in terms of knowing exactly what we wanted in our birth space. When the moment came, she was invaluable to us...was there every step of the way (she must have been exhausted after all those hours in labor but didn't falter one moment) True to her ethos she stood up for me when a midwife suggested something that was not in our plan (when i was in the middle of labour and was in another place).
