There’s something truly magical about the way our bodies nourish, nurture and grow. Breastfeeding isn’t just about feeding—it’s about bonding, comforting, and building a foundation of love and health. 💕

✨ Why it matters:
- 🛡️ Babies who are breastfed have a 36% lower risk of SIDS and a 64% reduction in gastrointestinal infections
- 💪 Each month of breastfeeding reduces the risk of childhood obesity by 4%, and lowers the risk of type 1 diabetes by 30%
- 🧠 Breastfed children tend to perform better on intelligence tests and are less likely to be overweight or diabetic later in life
- 👩‍⚕️ Moms who breastfeed have a reduced risk of breast and ovarian cancers

Whether it’s one drop or one year, every moment counts. Every journey is unique, and every choice made with love is worth celebrating. 💖

To all the breastfeeding mamas out there—you’re doing something amazing. Let’s lift each other up, share the wins, and sprinkle kindness like confetti. 🎉

It's World Doula Week!! I have had the absolute best ride in this "job" as a doula and have helped bring 30 babies into the world; that's a total of 23 families, one set of twins, 21 boys, 9 girls, 11 c sections (both scheduled and unscheduled), 7 had vaginal with no meds, and we had 29 healthy moms and 30 babies that are thriving to this day. 😍😍😍

P.S. had to edit to also include the very special surprise of me accidentally delivering one very slippery little girl, with my own two hands! 👶

I would love to see your stories about how a doula has helped your birth and what was your postpartum like? Feel free to share below.

Dear valued clients,

I begin by expressing my heartfelt gratitude to each of you for your understanding during my recent period of absence. It has been a time of deep reflection for me, as I've contemplated my future path and aspirations in life. Over the past 18 years, what began as a passion-driven part-time endeavor in massage therapy has evolved into a full-time commitment, consuming much of my time and energy.

Following challenges with fertility and a reassessment of my doula work, I found renewed clarity through meaningful experiences and guidance from my therapist. As a result, I have made the decision to return to massage therapy, albeit in a much more limited capacity. Moving forward, I will only be accepting appointments from previous massage clients on Saturdays, twice a month. While this may pose an inconvenience to some, I hope for your understanding as I prioritize a more balanced lifestyle that allows for quality time with loved ones. Let's have dinner some evening!

For those seeking massage therapy, I am fortunate to have many talented colleagues whom I can confidently recommend. Please feel free to reach out to me for referrals tailored to your needs.

Regarding my doula services, I am eager to focus more on this deeply fulfilling work. I find purpose in supporting mothers during their journey in a nurturing and supportive manner. I invite those interested in doula services to consider referring my name.

Your unwavering support throughout the years has meant the world to me, and I am truly grateful. I am in the process of contacting my current clients to arrange future appointments promptly. If you prefer a referral, please let me know, and I will gladly provide you with recommendations.

Thank you all sincerely for your understanding and continued support. This decision marks a significant step towards living a fuller life, and I look forward to sharing this journey with you.

Namaste,
Nicole

I wanted to share some exciting news with you all!

Recently, I had the incredible opportunity to be a doula for my first set of multiples, marking #29 and #30 in my doula journey. It's been such a blessing to be part of Cole and Kaylea's journey to becoming parents. The Preston Twins, who made their debut in May, has taught me so much, even after so many births. They needed a little NICU help initially, but I'm happy to say everyone's now home and doing great.

Please help me welcome Paisley and Coby to the world! 💙👶🩷👶

Looking forward to using what I've learned with future families!

Happy World Doula Week!!

11/21/2023

Good evening everyone! It's been awhile since I've posted but wanted to post a new update here. I will be pausing my massage services and doula services starting Thanksgiving day with a plan to start again in the spring of 2024. I am needing to make some changes to my business, and personal life, so I'm taking some time away to figure out what that means for me and you all in the future. I have plenty of massage therapists I know that are in the same area and others that are further out in DSM areas, so please don't hesitate to reach out for referrals for you all in my absence. I will not be posting therapists names here but they are available up on request.

I appreciate you all more than you know for your continued loyalty to me and my business. I hope to see you all back soon!

I hope you all have an amazing holiday season.

Best wishes,
Nicole

Baby #28!!!

I am incredibly excited to announce the delivery of baby #28 that I helped bring into this world last week. No pics, but I do have an amazing story.

Baby Fiona was delivered in the bathroom of the hospital by me! The Dr and nurse were not in there with mom and I, and Mom had a contraction and out came babys head! Since no one was close enough and I didn't want baby falling on the floor or IN the toilet, I reached down and pulled her out and on my chest. Dad was standing shocked in the doorway while the nurse finally came in and cut the cord so we could get baby and mom all cleaned up and taken care of. They did not know if it was a boy or girl, so dad was able to announce to us all on the way out of the bathroom. Fiona and mom are doing amazing. Mom was such a warrior. It's truly remarkable to be able to watch a woman do what they're made to do. Mom had no drugs, except to get things started and then her body took over. This is baby #2 for them and I got to help labor with baby #1 as well, 5 years ago. Fiona and I will forever have a bond and I'm just so glad everyone turned out healthy. Please help me welcome baby Fiona into the world!

❤️❤️ 👶

I have one more massage to give tomorrow and then this girl is closed until Jan 9th! See you all at your next scheduled massage! Merry Christmas to you all!

11/28/2022

Just posting to say I hope you have multiple people in your lives that bring this kind of positivity in your life instead of bringing negative. I know many of you are the soul helpers for me. ❤️

11/21/2022

Hey all! I only have 7 openings until next year, so if you have not scheduled your next massage and want in before Christmas, get ahold of me sooner than later as these spots will fill fast. Thank you!!
