Greetings Mama!
I'm so glad you're here!
Motherhood is the hardest, most selfless, humbling, and emotional adventure you’ll ever be on!
My prayer is that your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum story becomes a sacred journey and transformative experience —one that feels aligned, supported, and marked by peace, presence, and deep joy.
It would be an incredible honor to walk this path with you as you create, protect, and bring LIFE into the world.

My Philosophy
Whatever birth plan a mama may find herself on- planned or unplanned, home or hospital births, C-Sections or natural birth- my responsibility is to come alongside her to support, encourage, and remind her that she can do all things through Christ who strengthens her (Philippians 4:13). There is no one size fits all and just because a woman’s body is made for growing, having, and providing for babies, it does not mean it is always capable of doing so. But with the proper support and prayer, we can do the best and God will fill in the rest.
While there is a time and place for modern-day, life-saving medicine, I believe childbirth CAN be done in a natural, holistic way if we just allow for it. I also believe that care does not cease once baby has arrived. The postpartum period leaves mamas in a vulnerable and often times isolated position as I have personally experienced myself. Whether seasoned pros or new to the motherhood gig, support AFTER baby arrives is essential- for the ENTIRE family.
God gave women an incredible gift in conceiving and birthing children. I believe that when we surrender to God during the birthing process (and in motherhood), in our most weakened and vulnerable moments, He will empower us with His grace, love, redemption, and strength to get us through. My philosophy regarding childbirth is that it should support the desires of the mother as closely and safely as possible.

Meet Your Doula
Birth and all that surrounds it is intimate, open, and authentic, and choosing a doula isn't just about finding support; it's about selecting the right person to walk alongside you during this sacred experience. . . so it would only be right if I shared a little bit about myself to see if we would be a good fit.
I’m Nikki, a former RN turned full-time mama to five (including identical triplets!) living a farm-to-table, Jesus-centered life in small-town Wisconsin. My days are filled with homeschooling, homemade bread, and wild outdoor adventures—but my heart is deeply rooted in supporting other women through the raw, beautiful, and holy process of birth.
I’ve walked through almost every chapter: miscarriage, NICU, body image struggles, long labors, quick labors, and the heartbreak of no longer being able to conceive. Through it all, God has refined my heart and called me to come alongside other mamas—not just after the birth, but before it all begins. You deserve to feel seen, supported, and deeply empowered. That’s what I’m here for.
Doula Support Services
Every woman deserves to feel held, seen, and deeply supported during her birth journey—not just medically, but emotionally and spiritually. I’m here to offer more than a service. I offer presence. Prayer. Peace. Whether it’s your first birth or your fifth, I’ll walk with you from bump to baby and beyond.

Pregnancy
Questions, concerns, or just need someone to talk to? I'm here for you with resources in hand. Whether you're feeling overjoyed, overwhelmed, or somewhere in between—you're not meant to walk this alone.
Partner Support
I will guide your partner or support person, allowing him/her to feel more confident in how they can help you-this is important because most don't fully understand how to help or what they are and aren't allowed to do. If your partner needs to shower, change clothes, eat, or leave for whatever reason, I will stay with you.
Doula+ Body Prep
When you go into labor, I will join you from the time you call me in, till one to two hours postpartum. I suggest labour positions to help make you more comfortable, and activities to encourage better fetal positioning.
Postpartum Services
After you have your baby, I try to stay with you for a little while, to ensure you've had something to eat, to help with the first latch shall you need it, or to simply tidy up. Because in those first sacred moments, you deserve to feel seen, supported, and never alone.
Essential Doula
I help you and your partner or birth support person feel more in control of YOUR birth, making sure you voice your concerns, ask appropriate questions, and know what your options are, for labor and birth.
Everything in Between
Birth can be messy and demanding. I will help you feel as comfortable as possible, provide desired comfort measures and maintain a relaxing and calm birthing space through methods such as cool cloths, warm blankets, soothing music, essential oils. Whatever you need!
The Beyond the Womb Experience
As your doula, I don’t just show up for the birth — I walk beside you through the sacred unfolding of this entire season.
My support is quiet, grounded, and prayerful. I’m always gently assessing, adjusting, and holding space — whether it’s suggesting a new position, offering counter pressure, or helping baby find the best path into your arms. I don’t take over; I come alongside. This is your birth, your body, and your beautiful unfolding—and I’m simply here to offer calm, wisdom, and the gentle presence of someone who truly sees you.
With each client, I show up as I would for a dear sister in Christ—meeting you with compassion, truth, and grace. I offer practical education, thoughtful preparation, peaceful birth support, and tender postpartum care, always led by faith and deep reverence for the miracle taking place. Whether it’s a warm cloth on your forehead, a prayer whispered under my breath, or the quiet comfort of knowing you’re not alone—I consider it an honor to serve you on this sacred journey.
🖤 If this feels like the kind of support your heart is longing for, I’d love to connect and pray over your birth story together.
“For where two or more are gathered in My name, there I am with them.” — Matthew 18:20
5 Reasons to
Hire a Doula
1. It's proven that having a doula present for labor and birth, can significantly reduce the need for interventions helping you to recover more quickly
2. Birthing moms that are supported by doulas report lower anxiety and lower likelihood of postpartum depression
3. Having someone there to guide you, take care of everything, and assist you to give your partner a break or to do things so your partner can support you adds an extra layer of peace
4. Your doula provides a sense of constant and consistent support. Oftentimes health care professionals rotate; having a familiar face who knows you and your birth plan helps you feel supported and safe during your birth.
5. Even just feeling heard & emotionally supported lowers cortisol and blood pressure -- literally improving birth outcomes
