ABOUT ME
Latavia Nickols,
Birth + Postpartum Doula
Since experiencing a life-threatening miscarriage with my first pregnancy, it has been my mission to help other families understand how to have a healthy pregnancy, prepare for the unknowns of labor, and transition into postpartum with grace. I knew that didn't mean I should enroll in medical school, however, pursuing birth work as a doula would be my way of pouring into families and helping to build their legacy around healthy family planning.​
​
Through training from the National Black Doula Association and Evidence-Based Birth, I have equipped myself with the knowledge and firsthand experience to help other mamas eliminate the fear of giving birth, especially in the hospital setting. I've been blessed to have had 2 successful, unmedicated hospital births myself, and I strive to inspire families to seek wisdom and discernment for empowered birth experiences.

As your doula, I provide continuous educational, emotional, and physical support that helps eliminates fear of the unknowns during pregnancy and childbirth. I will honor your birth preferences and help you advocate for your family within whatever birth setting you desire.

Your body and your baby were designed perfectly by God for birth! We rely on intuition, honoring your inner voice to help bring your baby into the world.
