What People Are Saying
“Nikki saved me. Period. Full stop. I'm one to only ever ask for help as last resort, so when I do I need it STAT. Parenting is hard, but solo'ing it is a whole other can of worms. Nikki came in at a time where I was drowning in anxiety and overstimulation and placed a comfort blanket over my nervous system. She is very warm, calm, gentle, open, kind and caring. Socially, it was nice to have someone to talk to, but pretty quickly she normalized how I felt. She helped me give myself some grace for what I had gone through and start my healing process. Once I felt more settled, she helped me make sure I got fed - from snack tips to making actual food (that I'm still slowly going through in my freezer). After a while she just felt like she'd become part of our little family. Every visit she checked in and prioritized what I needed in that moment. After I felt more mentally recovered and was more regularly eating, then we moved on to the learning part. I asked A LOT of questions, even the ones I felt silly for asking. Her answers always brought me reassurance and helped me built my confidence into the mother I am today. I miss her e.ve.ry.day. - not because I need help, but because of the amazing human being she is.”

“Nikki was a great help to us in getting through the first few months of having our first child. She was able to be present and aware of our needs, and was very helpful in providing advice. Nikki was always very flexible to meet our needs where they were on any given day.
-Dan, postpartum client“Nikki was great at providing both physical support (holding/feeding baby, putting baby down for naps), and mental support (being a sounding board for issues, discussing challenges, empathizing, etc.). I always looked forward to her visits and I felt supported, heard and seen when she was here. I wish I had gotten help sooner – my baby was a bit older when I got support and we were out of the “worst” of things.”
