Meet Nikki

Hi, I’m Nikki & I am a certified full spectrum doula with Sokana Collective. I have always had a heart for kids & families, with over 20 years of experience working with organizations providing programs in under-resourced communities to 7 years of nannying experience. My spark for becoming a doula started after the experiences I had giving birth to my own children. I would always hear bad stories of what it would be like when I gave birth & never really heard encouraging ones, so I was really nervous about giving birth. Thankfully, after giving birth to my four children I didn’t experience the horror stories that were told to me. Through my personal experience I was able to see that women’s bodies are amazing & were made to bring life into this world without unnecessary interventions. I also realized how important support is during this time. I want to encourage women with my own birthing story & help them envision a positive outcome for their stories. Giving birth is such a life changing experience & I desire to walk alongside families as they navigate this transformative time.
