MY RATES - Please contact me for hourly rates.

BOOKING - It is advisable to book your support with me as far as you can in advance. This secures an approximate start date in my diary and means you have peace of mind.

We can meet for a chat to discuss your needs. I will then write up a short Contract between us. Don't worry! it's a simple agreement between us to detail my support to you.

If support is booked more than a month in advance, a non refundable deposit is payable on booking - This secures my support to you/dates in my diary as sometimes I have other clients wishing to book me around the same time as you.

The deposit amount is usually equivalent to 8-12 hours of support. If I need to cancel my support with you, due to unforseen circumstances, then your deposit will be refunded.

Lovely words from clients:

Nikki was wonderful in the postnatal period – not only in the first week, but in all subsequent weeks since then – It is now 8 weeks later and Nikki still provides me with post natal support twice weekly. She has been a really valuable source of support, a kind and supportive person who I have been lucky enough to be able to lean on following the birth. This has been particularly crucial for me, both as a new mum, but also because I have no other direct family support here in Farnham...

We are just so grateful that we have benefited from her kindness, sensitivity, calm, experience and empathy. She has been our Mary Poppins! Leza

Nikki is in her calling as a doula. She is so engaged with children.... She is like a baby-whisperer, and can keep the baby calm where others can't. She's a complete natural!

She's a big researcher and reader who listens and learns from others experiences too. This is evident in the way her knowledge and her way of communicating. Her advice is delicately given, never preached, or given when unwanted. Nikki is an extremely empathetic person and she really helps by connecting and sharing personal experience.

This helps you feel able to trust and talk to her as she is so genuine. I always feel that this isn't just a job for her, and that she genuinely cares and wants to help. She goes above and beyond by offering advice through messages. Her help is always given with consideration to your parenting style. My baby Albert absolutely adores her too ❤ Juliet
