Who is your doula?
Hi, I’m Nikki McDaniel! I'm a CAPPA-certified postpartum doula, birth photographer, mama of three, and wife to my high school sweetheart (we’ve been in love since 2008).
After giving birth to my daughter in 2018, I found myself completely overwhelmed. Our families lived out of state and could only stay for a short visit. I was sleep deprived, emotional, and trying to figure everything out alone, constantly wondering, “Is this normal?”. I kept thinking… it shouldn’t be this hard.
That season of struggle lit a fire in me! I made it my mission to ease the load for other families walking through the same delicate transition.
We put so much energy into preparing for birth, but what about after? The sleepless nights, the feedings, the healing, this new postpartum body, the questions no one warned you about, it can be a lot. You deserve support that’s practical, emotional, and deeply compassionate.
That’s where I come in. I’m here to hold your hand through the fourth trimester and beyond. Whether you need help with baby care, meals, household tasks, organizing, sibling support, or simply a quiet moment to breathe, I’ve got you, friend.
Let’s talk about how I can help make this time smoother, calmer, and exactly what you and your family need.
​Helping Hands
You were never meant to do this alone.
​
As your postpartum doula, I offer more than just support. I bring calm to the chaos, comfort to the overwhelm, and clarity to the unknown. Whether you need nourishing meals, a load of laundry folded with care, help managing your toddler’s big feelings, or just a quiet moment to shower, I’m here.
​
From organizing your space to soothing your newborn at 2 a.m., I tailor every visit to your family’s unique rhythm. Our first meeting is all about listening: to your story, your needs, and the version of motherhood you want to create, so I can walk beside you every step of the way.
What I Do
Postpartum day/night Support
My role as your postpartum doula is to reduce stress wherever I can, so you can focus on healing, bonding, and enjoying this sacred season as a new or seasoned parent.
Support often includes:
-
Feeding assistance (breast, bottle, or pumping)
-
Newborn bathing and soothing techniques
-
Guidance around healthy sleep habits
-
Nourishing meals and hydration reminders
-
Help with light household chores and errands
-
Holding baby so you can rest or shower in peace
Overnight care is also available to help you get the deep rest your body and mind need, while still maintaining that special bonding time with your baby.
