LET ME HELP YOU TO LIVE THEM PRAYERFULLY.Pregnancy, birth, and motherhood are sanctifying.
Motherhood is such an incredible gift from God, but it's easy to lose sight of the holiness of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum amidst all of the not-so-fun elements.
Imagine preparing for and living out your motherhood centered on Christ and allowing Him to use your motherhood as your path to sainthood.
As a Catholic doula and wellness coach, I help Catholic moms seek holiness through a body, mind, and soul approach to pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I offer prayerful pregnancy planning and coaching through a uniquely faith-based lens, physically support and pray with mamas during labor as a birth doula, and continue to walk with them through postpartum doula services and ongoing wellness coaching rooted in God's design for your body.
Beloved daughter of God - He designed this for your holiness. I would love to support you and show you how.

MY PHILOSOPHY
-
Pregnancy, labor, and postpartum are an experience of God and a call to holiness.
-
No mother should have to do all of this alone - physical and prayerful support changes everything.
-
A mother's voice should ALWAYS be respected in her pregnancy, birth, and motherhood.
-
Fitness and wellness for mothers is less about achieving standards and more about maintaining balance so we can better serve our families.

WHY HIRE A CATHOLIC DOULA OR COACH?
First, because having someone on this journey who shares your values makes the entire process more peaceful. In a secularized medical system where everyone's opinions are presented as fact, I help you cut through the noise and align your motherhood with your faith.
Second, because having someone pray with you during these real and raw moments is invaluable. My privilege is to look you in the eyes in the hardest physical, mental, and spiritual parts and convict you that God designed you to be this child's mother.
And finally, because pregnancy, birth, and postpartum are holy. Your motherhood is worth preparing for, just like any other important moment of transition in your spiritual life. My role is to show you how to invite the Holy Spirit in, because He transforms everything.

Don't Just Take My Word For It!"I had an excellent labor experience with Nicole's help. The pregnancy visits were extensive and informative, and we really got to know Nicole by the time she came to the hospital with us. With a lot of things out of our control changing my birth plan, Nicole was able to help us keep it as close to the original plan as possible and made it all a fantastic experience. Nicole is genuine and very comforting to be around, and she really helped my husband and I center our focus on God throughout the labor. I would highly recommend Nicole to anyone seeking a doula, especially first time moms like myself."

CAN I AFFORD A CATHOLIC DOULA OR COACH?
God did not design you to journey through motherhood, particularly birth and postpartum, alone. This kind of support is worth the investment because your motherhood is worth the investment.
But I also understand that affording doula and coaching services can be difficult, especially with all the expenses related to having a family. That's why I offer a number of financing options, including the ability to add my services to your registery through BE HER VILLAGE.
Not in need of my services but want to support mothers choosing life? You can also gift my services to a mother in a crisis pregnancy!
