Hello- my name is Nicole and I am a birth and postpartum doula. I truly enjoy helping moms and families have the birth story they want. I support and provide families with advocacy when applicable. Also, I provide the emotional, spiritual, and physical support you need on your birth journey and postpartum. I have worked as HR manager for the last 25 years. I have transitioned into being a birth/postpartum doula. I have extensive knowledge of California Law and California leave practices. In my free time, I enjoy working out, spending time with my daughter and furbaby. If you are looking for someone knowledgeable, clinically based, and hands on then you have found the right doula. Let me help you support your birth journey.

Nicole was truly heaven-sent. From pregnancy through postpartum, her support was unmatched. During my pregnancy, she helped with belly wrapping and made me feel so supported and cared for. During labor and delivery, she was a calming, reassuring presence when I needed it most. After my son was born, her postpartum support was invaluable — she showed up with compassion, knowledge, and genuine care for both me and my baby. Nicole has a gift for what she does. I honestly can’t imagine my experience without her. I highly recommend her services to any expecting or postpartum mom looking for a doula who truly shows up with heart, expertise, and intention.

Nicole is a great doula. She has a calming presence that made the lead-up to my baby's birth way less stressful. Maybe my favorite thing about her is her openness and desire to facilitate the birth experience that her clients want. I had and wanted an elective c-section, and Nicole was very supportive. Then when I changed my plans at the last minute and wanted my partner in the operating theater, she rolled with the punches. Nicole was always available and willing to answer my questions. Her professionalism was noteworthy. She was very familiar with the Kaiser Permanente system, and even knew some of the nurses at the hospital. She was knowledgeable, and particularly helpful when my baby was jaundiced and not latching properly. Nicole was a mellow and positive presence during a high-stress time and I'm truly grateful for her help!

Omg where do i even start... Nicole is a wonderful woman I'm so blessed and grateful to have had her as a support system. The cherry on top is that I already knew her personally through family relations. I got connected with her late in my pregnancy due to financial reasons but that didn't get in the way of her providing her services to me. Not only is Nicole attentive and kind but she is extremely helpful when providing information and help with your providers if you're ever having difficulty attaining one or general issues. I'd love love love to be able to continue connecting with her especially when the time comes to have another child. If you have the opportunity to talk/network with her I strongly suggest that you give her a shot!

She was the best thing besides our baby girl and healthy pregnancy of course haha. She made my life so much better, as a first time dad, there was way too many questions and a lot of overwhelming energy. She was able to calm me down and normalize many of my fears. Labor wasn’t perfect but she was there every step of the way.

She is amazing! Very knowledgeable and super friendly. She advocates for you through all parts of pregnancy, labor and postpartum. She goes above and beyond every time. I couldn’t recommend her enough!

Nicole was nothing but amazing! I am beyond grateful for her as she guided us through our birth plan, made time for us never in a rush always making sure all questions were answered and helped us prepping for labor. She taught us so much to be prepared for the big day and made herself available at all times for whatever we needed. In the future if we decide to extend our family I would definitely contact her again, I highly recommend her.

Nicole was amazing !! I didn’t have no birth plan. I really didn’t think I needed a doula until I had her there ! I thank my partner for just accepting her help for me . She went above and beyond ! She truly saved me from things I didn’t think I needed saving from. She was so informative and truly amazing. If it wasn’t for her I would’ve probably had an emergency c-section since like I said I had no birth plan due to lack of medical knowledge. If I have another baby , I’ll definitely give her a call . I’m proud to say I experienced having an amazing doula like Nicole by my side.

Nicole is the best doula I could’ve ever asked for. She is kind, giving, supportive, loving, generous, and has been wonderful since we met. I heard from her very often in my pregnancy as she was always present. She is knowledgeable about pregnancy, birth, labor, postpartum, etc. I always felt like I can count on her and reach out to her — she is always available to assist in any way she can. I received texts from her about pregnancy exercises/workouts, pregnancy and postpartum meals, ways to give a natural birth, labor tips, and other super helpful information. Additionally, Nicole’s past experience in HR was beneficial as she helped me create a plan to be with my baby as long as possible. Notably, she helped me create a detailed birth plan and once at the hospital made sure I was advocated for and that the staff stuck to my preferences. She coached me through giving birth to my son successfully. My baby came out healthy and beautiful. I am so grateful our paths have crossed and that she was my doula. Nicole is without hesitation a pleasure to be around and is the best support system for moms looking for guidance, love, and assistance. 5 stars across the board! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nicole has been so great and we’ve only been working with her for almost a month now. She is very knowledgeable when it comes to certain questions or concerns we have. She’s helped me feel more confident with the giving birth process. We greatly appreciate all the work she has done for us already.

Nicole has been both professional and supportive throughout my partners pregnancy. We are very appreciative of how much Nicole has educated us throughout this process and ensured how she will advocate for us and our experience throughout labor and delivery!

I’m currently in my first trimester and working with Nicole has already been such a wonderful experience. She is incredibly personable, easy to talk to, and very knowledgeable about pregnancy and the support that comes with it. I always feel comfortable asking her questions and she explains everything in a way that makes me feel confident and prepared. I truly appreciate how caring and attentive she is. I’m so grateful to have her by my side during this journey and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula who genuinely cares.

I am so grateful for Nicole Jones and the support she provided throughout my pregnancy. She checked in often, always making sure I felt cared for and confident. Nicole shared such helpful and informative guidance that made preparing for birth feel so much less overwhelming. Her presence is warm, reassuring, and truly genuine. I would highly recommend her to any mom looking for someone who is both knowledgeable and compassionate.

When I got pregnant I thought it was just going to be me and my husband in that labor room! Nicole helping me throughout it was the best experience! Guiding me through healthy nutrition and labor ready exercises that helped in courage dilation and labor! My goal was to have a natural birth but I ended up choosing epidural due to severe pain caused from some labor complications. Throughout me fighting the contractions, she was right there present, supportive, and AWAKE the whole time (I was in labor for 3 days)! She helped me use my voice to speak up and ask about the effects of certain medications they were pushing me to take, and reminded me if I don’t agree with a certain medication that I can always say no. My birth was quite traumatic, and I don’t think I could have done it without her! Post-partum wasn’t too bad. She checked up on me almost every day, sending positive affirmations and encouragement. She also sent information about diapers distributions and food distributions. She also helped me apply for EDD and WIC! I am now 4 months postpartum and me and my baby girl are as healthy as can be!

Nicole has been incredibly helpful and insightful throughout this entire journey. She consistently answered my questions and provided valuable information whenever I needed it. When I was worried about gestational diabetes, she didn’t hesitate—she came over, helped meal prep, and even created a personalized workout plan. I’m truly honored to have Nicole as my doula, but at this point, she feels like family.
