Meet Nikita

Hi, my name is Nikita Niamh, I am a fully qualified birth and postpartum Doula, deeply passionate about nurturing, supporting and walking alongside women through the sacred seasons of pregnancy, birth and beyond. From a young age, I was instinctively drawn to all things pregnancy and birth. I found myself captivated by the strength of women, the power of the birthing body and the incredible transformation that unfolds during the journey into motherhood. Even as a child I knew I was meant to be a part of this world in some way, offering care, love and presence to mothers when they need it most. It wasn’t until I became a mother myself that everything aligned. The birth of my son, Bjørn, changed me profoundly. His arrival cracked me open – body, heart and soul – and reawakened the calling within me. Going through my own pregnancy, birth and postpartum period gave me a raw, real and deeply personal understanding of just how powerful – and at times overwhelming – these experiences can be. It through becoming a mother that I found the courage to fully step into my calling and become a Doula.

What is a Doula ?

A Doula is a trained support person who provides emotional, physical and informational care during pregnancy, birth and the early postpartum period. We don’t offer medical care, but we’re by your side to guide, comfort and advocate for you through every step of your journey.

Having a Doula can significantly increase the chance of a natural, unmedicated birth. Key Statistics:

• 39% less likely to have a cesarean birth
• 15% more likely to have a spontaneous, natural, unassisted vaginal birth.
• 10% less likely to use any pain medication
• 31% less likely to be dissatisfied with their birth experience.

The word Doula comes from ancient Greek, meaning ” women who serves “. Today, it reflects the deep care, presence, and nurturing support doulas offer.
