Nikki Lauman
Birth & Postpartum Doula

A grounded, gentle presence for your early parenting journey. Support that honours your intuition, nurtures your well-being, and helps your family grow with confidence and connection.

I’m Nikki - a Birth & Postpartum Doula, with a background in early learning and childcare. I support families through pregnancy and the transition into parenthood, as well as through the early years with practical help and instinctive tools that bring clarity, connection, and ease.

Early parenthood is tender and transformative, and often overwhelming. You deserve care that feels steady and rooted in understanding.

Testimonials

“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.”

— Dan, postpartum client 

“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.

— Ellen, postpartum client

“I absolutely love Nikki, her support and everything I learn from her!”

— Gen, postpartum client
