Nicki was my doula and I'm so glad that we chose her to support us during this special time in our lives. Her pre-delivery visits to our home were very helpful. She answered all of our questions and came with so much advice that helped ease our nerves and educate us so that we felt prepared to welcome a new life into this world. During birth, she made our atmosphere relaxing and truly advocated for the experience and decisions that we wanted. After birth, her experience in lactation was extremely helpful as she helped us with latching, production and pumping. We would highly recommend Nicki to anyone in the area looking for a great doula. read more

I had researched the value of a doula prior to getting pregnant and knew having one was a priority to me (especially since my goal was an unmedicated delivery). Having Nicki in my corner to support me (and my husband) during pregnancy, labor and postpartum has been an invaluable experience. She's always been willing to answer questions (birth plans, breast feeding, etc.), provide resources, and even crack a few jokes. Her receptive, warm and supportive personality are just a few qualities that make her such a rockstar and I honestly don't think my labor/birthing experience and transition to motherhood would've been as smooth without having her there. I feel very grateful for her, and would recommend her to anyone and everyone interested in having a doula. read more

It was souch less terrifying with her there. All in all, working with her was a positive experience and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula. read more

If you're thinking about choosing Birth and Beyond DO IT! As a first time mom Nicki helped me feel confident and prepared for labor. And when I needed support postpartum she was there, whether it was tips to get rid of a clogged duct, someone to help with baby or just someone to talk to. Both me and my husband loved our visits with Nicki and will choose her again if we have another baby! read more

We are intended parents who went through a surrogacy journey. Our surrogate chose Nicki to be her doula and she was absolutely incredible in the delivery room (Sacred Heart, Spokane). The value she added to our overall experience by helping to smooth out the most challenging delivery moments that resulted in a healthy baby and a healthy surrogate was incalculable. Her personality alone will brighten any room she is in and then you'll see how experienced and skillful she is at her job. I can't imagine anyone could do this job better than Nicki. We are so grateful for her service. read more

Wonderful experience with Kelly as both my labor and postpartum doula! She provided great support during my birth in October 2020 by helping to make sure my wishes were being heard and respected. My birth did not go the way I planned, but Kelly was excellent at helping me make decisions and process changes as they came. She advocated for me every step of the way and always double checked with me that I was comfortable with how things were going. She also helped me physically, mainly by offering counter-pressure and massage to get me through contractions. Once my partner and I were home with our newborn, Kelly was extremely supportive and made the transition into motherhood much less scary! She provided light house keeping, meal prep, and held the baby while I napped or showered. The best part of her postpartum doula services is her overnight support! For the first few weeks, my baby would NOT sleep anywhere other than someone's arms, and that led to many sleepless nights. Kelly stayed and held him all night, only waking me when it was time for him to eat. I don't know how I would've gotten through the first month without her. I cannot recommends her services highly enough, and will be requesting her again when I'm ready to have another baby! read more
