Art of Opening

I am currently a client of Nicole’s and about halfway through my pregnancy. I am very happy with her services thus far! She has been really understanding about my budget, and has helped me afford the birth I’m looking to have, for which I am very thankful. Our meetings seem to have no time limit, are extremely thorough, and she demonstrates endless patience to be sure that I have asked any and all questions. I find her demeanor very soothing, and it doesn’t hurt that her office always smells nice (-: I am looking forward to the months to come, and hope that I can also take her birthing classes!

This review is exclusively for Birthing From Within Childbirth Preparation Classes, as my husband and I sought our prenatal care and midwifery services from another facility.
Nicole is a fantastic guide for first-​time parents, especially those planning a natural birth! We worked with her through one-​on-​one classes (she also offers group sessions), in preparation for our first child.
She provided us with a number of pain and anxiety-​coping tools that we intend to use at the birth, as well as helped us to process many of the fears and concerns we had. She takes a holistic view of the birth process and provides you with ample information to make informed decisions, without coercing you into any particular viewpoint.
Overall, we felt like Nicole was more of a coach and supporter than just an instructor — she’s fantastic!
