Challenges You Might Be Facing
I’m overwhelmed by conflicting advice.
Google says one thing and says the exact opposite in another post—what's right? Decision fatigue steals your joy. You need clarity, not more noise..
Lost Yourself in Motherhood?
Your body feels foreign, your mind is drained, and "self-care" is a joke. Postpartum shouldn’t mean losing you in the process.

Painful latching, low supply fears, and endless pumping. It shouldn’t hurt this much—help is here to make it peaceful.
"After just one lactation consultation, my baby latched perfectly—and for the first time, I felt like the strong, capable mother I was meant to be."
— Jessica T., First-Time Mom

"Nikki is one of the most patient and kind people that I know! This was evident when she was taking care of my young son."
Nikki was so loving, so patient, and knew exactly what to do to calm him down! She was fantastic! Nikki being here and looking after my son, allowed me to work virtually from home and to totally focus on my job while knowing that my son was happy and cared for!

I knew what to expect and wasn’t afraid.
Nikki has just plainly been awesome during my pregnancy and after!
I was ready for any type of delivery and thankfully as when I had an emergency C section after 3 days of labor, I knew what to expect and wasn’t afraid. Nikki not only helped me and my husband understand what was going on during the pregnancy but she drastically reduce my anxiety and therefore helped bring baby calmly into this world. She’s very responsive and I can always count on her to help me, even for emergencies. I am so thankful to have met Nikki!

Hiring Nikki was the best decision we made.
While pregnant with my first baby, my husband and I decided that we wanted a natural (non-medicated) birth
and after much research we chose to include the assistance of a doula. Hiring Nikki was the best decision we made. She was instrumental in my positive natural birth experience. She somehow knew exactly what I needed throughout the different stages of labor and I felt completely supported the entire time. Amazingly, my husband also felt that Nikki was helping him throughout the entire labor and delivery. She somehow supported us both 100% of the time! If I am ever pregnant again, Nikki will be one of my first calls so I can book her well in advance!

Frequently Asked Questions (faq's)
Sooner is better! Many moms wait until they’re in pain or exhausted, but early support (even prenatally!) can prevent common struggles like poor latch, low supply, or nipple damage. Ideal times: before birth to learn positioning, within the first 72 hours postpartum to establish feeding, or anytime you feel unsure. A single session often resolves issues that weeks of Googling can’t.
Yes! Many lactation and postpartum services are partially or fully covered under Medicaid and private plans. We provide superbills for reimbursement and can guide you through the process. Fun fact: Under the Affordable Care Act, most insurance plans must cover breastfeeding support—we’ll help you claim what you’re entitled to
Absolutely. Virtual visits allow us to observe feeds in your natural environment (no stressful car seats or clinic rooms!), and 85% of latch issues can be corrected remotely. We’ll send you a prep kit with tools like a baby-weighted scale if needed. Many moms prefer the privacy and comfort of home, especially during early postpartum.
Standard care often focuses solely on baby’s growth or “problem-solving.” Holistic care looks at you both as a whole: physical recovery, emotional shifts, cultural traditions, and even your home environment. For example, we might address tongue ties while supporting your mental health, or suggest herbal sitz baths alongside pelvic floor exercises. It’s medicine that honors your intuition and individuality.
Every baby—and every postpartum journey—is unique. Second-time moms often book us for issues like tandem feeding, healing old birth trauma, or simply to feel seen amid the chaos of multiple kids. Even experienced moms deserve support (and maybe a faster rebound this time!).
Day one! Early care (even in the hospital) helps prevent complications like severe tearing, D-MER (breastfeeding dysphoria), or isolation. We’ll tailor care to your birth experience—gentle belly binding after a C-section, trauma-informed debriefing, or just someone to remind you you’re doing amazingduring those foggy newborn days.
