What families say

All of the ladies I've met with Brave Birth have been very kind and passionate about women and birth; Nicolette was our doula so this review is mostly about her.

★★★★★ — Damiana, 2017-07

Nicolette is trusted doula. Her even keel personality is one of the things I value the most. At a time when you worry about emotions running high, she can really balance out things. Nicolette also brings a lot of experience to the table.

★★★★★ — Tk, 2016-12

Nicolette was present at both of my births and is an absolutely incredible doula. She is kind and compassionate and her warmth under pressure are incredibly helpful. Most importantly for me, she is knowledgable and helpful.

★★★★★ — Jessie, 2016-12

Nicolette helped me with my natural hospital birth. She helped me trust my innate abilities to participate in the kind of birth experience I wanted to have. She is well worth the expense....
