Nikki (she/her) came to doula work through lived experience. After navigating her own challenges with fertility and birth, she witnessed firsthand how powerful it is to have an informed, compassionate doula by her side — and knew she was meant to do this work. Just six months postpartum, she turned that experience into a calling — beginning her training to support others through their own birth journeys.

Nikki holds a Bachelor's degree in Risk Management from Florida State University and completed her childbirth training through DONA International. She is a proud member of both the Gainesville Doula Network and UNITE Doula Collective.

Outside of her work, Nikki is a wife and mother who knows firsthand the joy and complexity of family life. She and her family love spending time with extended family and exploring new places — experiences that continually deepen the warmth and understanding she brings to every family she serves.
